Crimson Opens 13-Pronged Eli Attack Today

The best Harvard soccer record in nine years, the first Crimson soccer win over the Blue in eight years, and a tie for the lead in the New England Soccer League are the stakes at New Haven when the Varsity soccer team inoots the Bulldog booters at 1 o'clock this afternoon. With a record of seven wins and one defeat Coach MacDonald's wily booters rate the edge over a Yale team that has won four, lost four and tied one.

In their first game this year the Crimson booters edged West Point 3 to 2 and the next week the Cadots bounced back to shutout Yale, 1 to 0. The MacDonaldmen topped Brown by three goals more than the Blue. Only against Princeton did the Bulldogs do better winning by 2 to 0 instead of the Crimson's 2 to 1.

Wee Bit o' Burns

Despite his team's edge on paper, James MacDonald went along with his deceased countryman Robert Burns's observation that the best laid schemes o' mice an' men aft gang agley. "Comparative scores in soccer mean little," Mac-ventured yesterday, "adding that in the Yale game they mean nothing."

The main threat to a Crimson victory is the presence of All-American Francis Brice at left inside for the Yale eleven. The Bulldog captain Brice has averaged close to two goals a game, including both of the Eli scores against Princeton last week, and rates as one of the most versatile forwards in the East.

To stop Brice and therefore the Yale team, MacDonald plans to play David Ogden, the best tackler on the Crimson squad, at right half instead of at his usual center-half spot. "Ogden's speed ought to make it difficult for Brice," Mac said yesterday. Don Louria, the regular left half, will switch over to center-half where Mac has been grooming him.
