Penn, Brown Tie Lions Edge Princeton, 2-0

For several years the Ivy League has been one of the nation's toughest soccer leagues. Last Saturday four teams indicated that they could challenge Harvard, the defending champion, for the Ivy title, as Brown and Penn played to a 1-1 tie and Princeton stayed close to Columbia in a 2-0 loss.

Columbia

Columbia, regarded as the strongest contender to upset Harvard, needed two penalty kicks in the first half to edge a tenacious Princeton attack. Although the Tigers finished at the bottom of the league last fall, they outshot Columbia 11-10 in Saturday's game.

Tiger center halfback Laszlow Adam hit the crossbar twice and center Louie Difoe once. "We outclassed them on the field," Princeton coach Jack Volz said. His squad could win against any Ivy team this fall.

Brown, trying to find sophomores to fill the gap left by the graduation of All-American forward Herman Ssebazza, was supposed to be in a building year this season. But the Bruins played Penn to a 1-1 tie in Providence.

"I was extremely surprised by the score," Harvard coach Bruce Munro said. "I thought Penn should have won by two or three goals."

Preseason polls showed Penn ranked seventh in the nation, while the Bruins were listed as the nation's tenth best team.

In non-league games. Yale lost to Army, 1-0, when the Cadets scored on a penalty kick with 10 minutes left in the game. The Bulldogs are 1-3 for the season.

Dartmouth, playing without All-American halfback Charlie Silcox, edged Amherst, 1-0, on a fourth period goal by football kicker Wayne Pirmann.
