Sixteen lettermen uere among the thirty-odd varsity soccer candidates who reported for drill early in September. This group was to become in the words of Coach Eli Marsh, one of the two or three best teams ever to play for Amherst. Wlitli their first undefeated season since 1942, the Amherst squad turned in an imposing ts-If-I record while copping the Little Three Crown for the third straight year as well as winning the coveted title of New England Champions. llowie Burnett at center for' ward, star and captain of last year's freshman team, did an able iob of filling All'American Ben Stoltzfus' shoes while yetv erans Kell Smith, Paul Griffiths, -lohn Heehe, and Wfoody Crowther completed the forward line. The three horsemen, Fred llollister, Whit Spaulding, and Don Dunbar, returned to continue their imposing halfhack play while Tom Wlyman and May Hamill proved invaluable at the fullback slots. Captain Don Nesbitt guarded the nets for his fourth consecutive year, having played every game while here at Amherst. This was the starting team that held the University of Connec- ticut to a 1-I tie in a preseason exhibition game. Paul Griffiths on a neat pass from Burnett scored for the ,leffmen early in the first period. Late in the half, UConn registered to put the score at f-I. Here it stayed throughout a rugged and tense second half. Tom Wfyman and Max Hamill played brilliantly at full- back in holding last year's national champions to a deadlock. AMHERST 4 - M.I.T. I M.l.T. fell to the Amherst eleven in the Purple's first official game of the season 4-l. Sophomore Howie Burnett was the sole scoring punch, accounting for all four of the goals. One of these came on a pass from Crowther, one on a penalty shot and the other two by his own aggressive and clever play. The Sabrina team showed drive and teamwork in their opener by continually pushing deep into the engineers territory. This was accom- plished largely through the offensive efficiency of the halfback line with john Martin replacing the injured Fred Hollister, The M.l.T. squad showed occasional spark but failed to score until the final period, W Jltiiitiiler ll.-LXIPSON, txiptiitii NESBITT, tfettclv MARSH AMHERST 2 - HARVARD O The ,leffs shut out Ilarvard in their second game. Both jeff goals carrie in the first period, Griffiths tallied from inside right on a penalty center by Don Dunbar and a few minutes later Hank Eisner headed a corner kick from the other outside, johnny Heebe, for the final score of the game. The struggle became almost exclusively defensive after this with deep drives by each team. Captain Nesbitt and Max Hamill continually kept the Crimson team from paydirt while the forward line could not seem to press deeply enough through the Harvard defense to score again. AMHERST 4 - SWEDISH-AMERICAN 2 The Amherst hooters played a second exhibition game, this time against the Swedish-American team, a semi-professional club from Worcester. Both teams played a deliberate passing game but Crowther, Smith, Kane, and lrvin proved more effi- cient near the goalmouth and each scored for the Sabrinas with the final count 4-2. - v . ..h:. - sm Page Ninetyssix

I The jeff' machine, however, failed to click when it met the University of Massachusetts, a team which has been a nemesis for the jeff hooters for the past two years. Despite a statistical advantage of corner kicks and shots, the only Amherst score came when Burnett iarred the hall from the goalie's hands in the third period to tie the game at I-I.
