Booters Risk Record Against Cornell Today

The undefeated Crimson soccer team will try to rediscover its scoring punch today when it hosts the Cornell booters at 10:30 a.m. on the Business School field.

Harvard was held to a 0-0 deadlock by Columbia last week and could have trouble scoring today against a traditionally defense-conscious Cornell squad.

Last year the Redmen crowded all the men they could muster around their goal in an attempt to stop the Crimson forwards. The strategy failed in 1963 when Chris Ohiri boomed two kicks through the defensive wall, but without the Nigerian's accurate toe, this year's Harvard squad may be in trouble.

The only hope for a better-then-dull contest would seem to be some uncharacteristically daring tactics by the Cornell team. The Redmen may figure from last week's Columbia score that the Crimson are vulnerable this year.

If the Redmen do loosen up, the Crimson just could surprise them with a scoring barrage.
