Guyda Hopeful as Potentially Strong Freshman Soccer Squad Works Out

Thirty-eight Freshmen of various shapes and sizes reported to the Business School Field yesterday as Andrew Guyda began his ninth year of moulding Yardling soccer teams. The Freshmen open their season on October 9 against youngsters who play for Tabor at Marion.

After qualifying his remarks with "it's too early to tell," Guyda ventured yesterday that the nucleus of a good team seemed to be milling around in the drills and confusion that inevitably make up the first few days of practice in Freshman sports. He though his material might turn out as well as his 'Scoreless Wonders' of last year, which won eight, tied one and lost two, never scoring more than three goals a game.

"The squad is small enough," Guyda said, "so that I can give some of the men some individual attention and keep the rest occupied scrimmaging. But making team in a week and a half out of men who have never played together is a problem."

Order Out of Chaos

Most of the rest of the week should be spent in intra-squad scrimmages until "a workable combination" is found, for under Guyda's and the Crimson system of play teamwork plays the central role.

It will be a rough grind for the players, but a starting team team should be the end product.

While Guyda was working on the field, the managerial staff was having its troubles on the sidelines. After flooding the College with green posters announcing a Freshman managerial competition, the administrators were still issuing calls for more workers to wheel out the squad carts and minister to booter needs.
