Babson Junior Varsity Squad Sloshes by Frosh Booters, 2-1

The Crimson freshman soccer team lost yesterday, 2-1 to a bigger and more experienced Babson J.V. squad, in a spirited game played under less than ideal conditions.

The freshmen kickers, with only four weeks' practice behind them, lost the first point to Babson when a kick by the Beavers' Bruce Brown skipped off Crimson goalkeeper Pete Dugerian's hand, 24 minutes into the second half. The Crimson team rebounded less than a minute later, with Mark Zimering scoring a goal, assisted by Eric Zager.

According to Babson coach Bill Rogers, the game then started to get "hairy." "After our second goal Harvard started putting the pressure on. They [the Crimson] played excellently-they were really up against a J.V. team.

Crimson Goal Prevented

Babson's Steve Baliki scored the Beavers' second point, assisted by Bruce Brown. Babson goalkeeper Dennis Donahue, who played the entire game, was in top form: assisted by the Babson halfbacks, he helped prevent the Crimson frosh from scoring a second point.

Rogers, conceding that the Crimson booters "outplayed us in a few instances," added, "they were well coached. Getchell has an excellent team. Had the weather been better the outcome could have been different; for one thing we might not have scored that first goal."

Crimson 'keeper Pete Dugerian smashed in the nose by a ball, was replaced by Hal Weeks, who came off the bench ice cold. Babson maneuvered superbly and sloshed through to the goal after a drop called on Weeks.

After drying himself off from the drenching he received on the field. Crimson coach Dana Getchell responded warmly to questions. He gave his squad high marks. "We played a heck of a game," he said. "We were up against an older, bigger, more experienced team of soccer players. Today we played together as a team.

Getchell said his team's main problem was the age and experience of the teams they are scheduled to play. "Some of these guys (on the Babson team) were 23 to 25 years old," he said. "But nobody pushed us around." Well, almost nobody.
