Alumni Outscore Soccer Varsity In Ragged Game

Sloppy Harvard defensive play and sporadically inspired efforts by a skillful group of alumni accounted for the Crimson boater's second defeat in two days Saturday.

The contest was unofficial and Coach Munro substituted freely to give everyone on his bench some game experience. The loss figures in neither Harvard's Ivy League nor its season record, but the team's performance, particularly on defense, gave no one cause for optimism.

Harvard scoring got off to an atypical fast start as sophomore Andy Kydes tallied on a penalty kick less than five minutes into the first period. Tony Davies, Harvard's 1963 captain, evened things for the Alumni at 13:05 of the first with a low shot into the left gale of the goal.

By half tire the Crimson had taken a 3-1 lead on goals by high-scoring center forwards Jim Saltonstall and Keith Chiappa. Saltonstall headed in his seventh of the season at 7:30 of the second, Chiappa collected his sixth, seven minutes later, knocking the ball past the Alumni goalie from a tangle in front of the net.

Alumni Surge

Late in the third period, the Alumni capitalized on the Crimson's defensive lapses and took the lead, as former all-Ivy inside Tag Sweeney '61, popped in three goals in four minutes. Sweeney really only deserves credit for assists on his first two goals, both of which were kicked in accidentally by Crimson fullback Bernie Heubner. Sweeney's third goal, however, was a well-placed driving shot from twenty-five feet.

Alumnus Bill King '61 added what proved to be the winning goal halfway through the fourth period on a powerful shot from thirty feet.

The varsity's play grew noticeably more spirited toward the end of the final period as they tried to even the game, but fell one short as Bill Hitzeg's arching shot from the right wing off the hands of the Alumni goalie was the only score.
