Soccer Team Attracts 45 Men in First Call

Forty-five men answered Coach Jim MacDonald's call last Monday as the 1942 edition of the Varsity Soccer team begins to take shape. Captain Dick Gifford led his team mates through the opening session which introduced a number of Yardlings made eligible for competition this fall.

Practice will continue through the week in preparation for the booter's opening tussle against Tufts Saturday on the business school field. At the same time, the '46 squad is drilling for its first encounter with Worcester Academy a week from this Saturday.

Need Freshmen

A great majority of the men out this fall are upperclassmen, Coach MacDonald reported yesterday, thus severely handicapping the Freshmen squad which will have its own schedule. There are still places open on the squad, to men with or without experience, eager to participate in the Varsity's eleven game schedule or the '46 team's eight game slate.

At the same time, Richard Allen '44, Senior Manager announced the opening of the Freshmen and Varsity managerial competition. Numerals and letters are awarded to men who are chosen for these posts and completed the year's work.

The competition will last throughout the current season and selections will be made following the final game in November.
