Booters Strive to Overcome Faults Of Amherst Bout

In an effort to acquire some condition and fight, two qualities which Amherst showed them to be sadly lacking, those of the varsity soccer squad who reported for practice yesterday ran through a two hour drill against the Freshman teams.

Coach James MacDonald split his players into first and second teams and sent the first eleven against the as yet undefeated Freshman first-string, while the second varsity squad played the Freshman second stringers. The play showed neither the Freshmen or the Varsity to great advantage but the Varsity teams came out on top in both contests.

Merck Off Roster

MacDonald's booters, who journey to Dartmouth this Saturday for their fifth game of the season, are hampered by injuries and the possible loss of Al Merck, the best fullback on the roster. Merck, may not be able to soccer for the rest of the season. Gus Seamans, starting left halfback in the Amherst game, has two injured knees and will not make the trip to Hanover.

On the brighter side of the picture, Kenny Chun, Chinese stylist who plays at the left inside slot, has rejoined the squad after a week's absence. The team should profit during the rest of the season by the much improved play of Hugh Morse, who has shaped up as one of the best forwards on the Varsity.

Coach "Poley" Guydar's Freshman booters are improving every day and appear to have a good chance to rack up an undefeated season with a record now standing at five wins and one tie.
