BOOTERS HOLD LEAD TO WIN OVER AMHERST, 2-1

Upsetting a powerful Lord Jeff soccer team, the Crimson squad held its lead throughout a closely-played game Saturday afternoon, winning 2-1. Delavan C. Clos '35 started the scoring early in the first period, by cleverly heading the ball into the net on a pass from George F. Stork '35.

Both the Sabrina and the Crimson forwards pressed their opponents closely during the first half, and several scuffies nearly resulted in goals for both Amherst and Harvard. Jonathan S. England '35, Crimson goalie, often pulled the chestnuts out of the fire by rash dashes out of the net. The Amherst forwards were constantly shooting for the net, and only cool work by halfbacks John Dorman '36 and Frank W. Vincent, Jr. '36 kept the ball away from the Crimson end of the field.

Not until the final quarter did Harvard break through the visitor's defense again. Leon H. Manheimer '36 booted a clean goal into the corner of the net, and shortly afterward the only Lord Jeff tally of the afternoon was scored as the ball bounced over England's head.

CORNER KICKS

Both the Lord Jeffs and the Crimson forwards kept hitting the top corners of the net with the ball, which bounced off in front of the harassed goalie.

The hardest-working Crimson men on the field were John Dorman '36, center half, and George F. Stork '35, right inside.

As compared with their appearance last year, the Amherst footmen looked quite different, having added several dark-haired players to the team. In 1932 the entire team was light-haired.
