The Browne and Nichols soccer team of nineteen lifty-seven will not go down in the record books as one of B. and Nfs hest teams. However, the experience given the younger players and the many highlights throughout the season served to make last fall a profit- almlc one as fan' as B. and N. soccer is concerned. Wheii the season opened at Gerry's Landing there were four underclassmen on the B. and N. starting lineup. They included: goalie, Peter Caplang left lmllhack. Donald Tucker: left inside, Dick Chalfeng and right inside, Bill Bazley. The senior members of the squad consisted of: right fullback, Bill Adamsg lelt fullback, Steve Heinemang right halfback, Ionny Narcusz center halfback, Donald Emeryg left outside Charlie Woodardg center forward, Iohn Reimersg and right outside lohn Van de Graaff. Standouts in the re- serves were juniors Bob Reischauer and Langy Lom- bard. and sophomore Kyler Coon. After losing the opening game and tieing the Brooks School. B. and N. came to life against Belmont High. Belmont had beaten many of B. and N.'s toughest op- ponents and was the heaviest team B. and N. faced

Tfzr wolf uffilckf. 9 During the week previous to the Rivers game, the Asian flu struck. Sometimes, there were only enough men to make up one practice team. Despite these handicaps, we gained another victory, 640, on a touch- down scored by Chuck Bailey. Our winning streak was short lived. Un October twenty-sixth, BRN met a strong Belmont Hill team. Although the final score was 28-13 in favor of Belmont, the hitherto green BSN team began playing good foot- ball. All BRN scoring in this game was done by Art Cunningham. Un Saturday, November second, the team set out for its annual swimming meet with Brooks. The pond was somewhat shallower this year than it was two years ago, and as a result, a little more yardage was gained on both sides. What the Brooks squad lacked in skill they made up in size, and defeated us 13-0. We ended the season with a victory. On Friday, November eighth, a beautiful day, we met Roxbury Latin on BSLN Field. After some uncertain moments, BRN achieved a lZ-6 victory on touchdowns by star halfback, Chuck Bailey. During the season, some very amusing things hap- pened. Doug Iackson's growling and snarling, and his ferocious playing were standard team jokes. Probably the funniest incident occurred during an intersquad scrimmage in practice one day. Coach litter was quarterbacking the offensive unit, Charlie Andresen was playing defense: at Mr. Strodel's word, Charlie rushed in and tackled Mr. litter-the air turned blue. . . l Prospects look good for next year. A team with at least a year's game experience behind each member, will be returning almost intact. Of course, the loss of Art Cunningham, Iohn Shapiro, Parky Batchford and Rick Butler will be felt, but led by co-captains Doug Iackson and Chuck Bailey, the team should be able to absorb the shock.

Heineman shoots. all season. However, with the aid of some fine de- fensive work by Bill Adams, the H. and N. booters were able to hold Belmont to a scoreless tie. Before B. and N. was to win a game, they were beaten successively by Governor Dummer and Milton. Finally, against Roxbury Latin the forward line came to life and scored twice to give the team its first win 2-0. The highlight of the season was the Lawrence Academy game. The rain and mud-covered Held pre- vented the ball from bouncing out of control. ln the midst of the downpour the mud-covered B. and N. players could hear Coach Stonestreet, clad in a lashing outfit, yelling, Go get ,em boys, you love it, you love it. With these words of encouragement, plus the fact that they did ulovev the mud, the team turned in its most decisive victory, winning 3-0. Although losing to Nobles in the Final game, the sophomores on the squad showed great improvement. With eight lettermen returning, the prospects for B. and N. soccer look bright for next fall. As usual, Coach Stonestreet will be looking for eleven men who are willing to give all they have towards a winning endeavor. I am sure he will find them. xldunzr xmrcx, fin fH'1lL'fl.t'C Hand: you all.
