Crimson Streak Snapped at 17

While Penn was snapping Harvard's 17-game Ivy winning streak last Friday, Cornell and Yale established themselves as serious contenders for the soccer title. Cornell's 5-1 victory over Columbia and the Bulldog's 2-0 shutout at Dartmouth have created a potential four-way race for the championship.

Penn must face a Yale defense, spearheaded by goalie Ken Pasternak, that has limited the opposition to two goals in four games. If the Quakers escape defeat in New Haven, they will still have to face Cornell on the final weekend of the season.

Brown and Columbia, two perennial Ivy contenders, were virtually eliminated last Saturday from any chance of finishing in the first division this fall. While Columbia dropped its third league contest to Cornell. Brown failed to come up with its second Ivy victory and had to settle for a 2-2 tie with Princeton.

At Cornell, the Big Red continued its winning ways with an offensive explosion led by junior college All-American Victor Huerta. The transfer student scored on a penalty kick and a direct kick while teammate Chris Agoliati also scored a pair of goals.

Cornell dominated the game throughout, outshooting the Lions 35-13, and broke the score wide open with three tallies in a short span of the third period.

Pasternak made only 10 saves in the victory over Dartmouth, as the Eli moved past Brown into the first division. Goals by Eric Anderson and leading scorer John Clark provided the margin of victory. Yale now has only a single loss at the hands of Cornell and still will have a chance to upset Penn and Harvard.

Brown outshot Princeton, 31-17, but the Tigers preserved a tie on goals by Louis Difo and Ralph Sobel. Brown relied on sophomore Bill Frost for both of its tallies. The Bruins, still having problems in goal, called on sophomore Paul Neary in the second half, and Neary turned aside nine shots to protect the tie.

Tiger goalie Geoff Marchant had 17 saves to his credit.

Statistically, Harvard dominated the Ivy scoring race with three of the top four leaders. Sophomore Felix Adedeji leads the league with seven goals in four games, one more than Cornell's Huerta.

Senior fullback Chris Wilmot leads the Ivy standings with four assists to his credit, and he is second in the overall scoring race, one point behind Adedeji.

Junior Chris Papagianis, who scored both Crimson goals against Penn, is tied for third in the league with Huerta at six points.
