Kirkland Scores 1-0 Soccer Win

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 22-In a well-played and hard-fought contest here today, Kirkland House, Harvard intramural soccer champion, defeated its Yale counterpart, Pierson College, 1 to 0.

The game's only goal came midway through the second period when Kirkland center forward Bill Edgar slipped the ball past the Bulldogs' goalie.

The Crimson dominated play in the first half as Femi Olunolyo, the Deacons' center half, and Charlie Hubbard, full-back, consistently kept the ball in Eli territory. Yale was able to mount only one serious scoring threat, a breakaway pass late in the half. But Crimson goalie Mick MacDonald deflected a hard short from the Eli attack to preserve Kirkland's lead.

Pierson, infuriated by its first half performance, controlled the ball in the last two quarters. Only key defensive plays by Olunolyo and other backs prevented the Elis from scoring. Yale did receive considerable help, however, from goalie John Cuningham, whose prodigious kick covered over half of the field and put the ball deep in Crimson territory.

In the other intramural House soccer contest today, Dunster edged Branford 2 to 1.
