Tommy Taj lm the soccer coach qf the year SOCCER ...mont Champions WHEN the whistle blew to end the Army-Navy soccer game on Thanksgiving Day, few people saw the victorious Navy captain, Bill Chaires, grab the game ball, dash among the two thousand spectators, and present it to his proud mother. She wasn't the only person who was proud of this year's great soccer team. Midshipmen, interested alumni, and the ever-loyal folks', of the players, realized that the whistle had completed one of the most successful, and grueling, seasons in the history of Navy Association Football-un- defeated in seven games-with a season of daily scrimmages stretching from August 5th to November 25th. There can never be enough credit given to a certain little Scotsman, Tommy Taylor, for his splendid job of coaching this 1943 soccer team to the National Championship. His help to every player bore fruit. He was voted the outstand- ing soccer coach of the yearn by the National Soccer Coaches' Association. Four of his players won national recognition- Captain Bill Chaires, Art Calisto Qrecently from Peruj, goalie Sam Gorsline, and long kicking fullback George Reaves, were named to the All American soccer team. 35+-M ,F 3-15.31 460 The Captrziu-All Americrm Bill Cbaire: Manager Simvzelink talks things over with the referee 9 Four morzibs of scrimmage on Lawrence Field put our boys on tap

The early season practice under an August sun did much to discourage the listless candidates, and to season the zealous. The booting practice slowly turned to dribbling and passing. Finally, along with chilly blasts on Lawrence Field came the daily menu of scrimmaging for the twenty-six men retained on the varsity squad. Well, what happened now is recorded as history. But the chapter represented by this season will always be prominent in the annals of Navy athletics.
