leader. Wesp, Sukhsvasti, and de Meli proved outstanding lt2 THE CAERHLEAX ifltrnirm nf Svnrrrr, 1923 After a lapse of a good many years, Chestnut Hill Academy revived soccer in l927. Since no younger boys have as yet been developed, the record of the l928 eleven, under Coaches Otto Sokol and Albert Smith, was far from a complete failure. For the first time in its history, the lnteracademic League add- ed soccer to its ever-increasing list of sports. Virtually every member of last yearls team had graduated or been drafted for football this season, so the coaches set about the task of training the players for the future, rather than to make an impressive showing this year. The season opened at Germantown Academy on October lfl. The Chestnut Hill team time and time again swept down the field only to make an erratic try for goal. After a hard game the home team triumphed by the close score of 2 to 1. The Interacademic League champions from Penn Charter visited St. Martins the following week and very easily de- feated our aggregation by a 9-0 count. The visitors were much more aggressive and experienced than our clan. The defense was weak when the eleven met Haverford away from home several days later. It was easy for our op- ponents to chalk up a 7-0 win. Playing on the home turf. the dark and light blue came back before a large group of supporters to tie Episcopal. Despite two extra periods, the final figures read l-l. The Hillers took another defeat when the players from Friends' Central won over our team by a 4 to 0 score. All the goals were scored in the last half. The season closed on November 23 against Friends' Select. ln this game our players displayed the best form ol' the sea- son. After two extra periods had been played the teams were still deadlocked by a l-l count. Much credit should be given Captain Noi Svasti not only for being our best player, but also for proving himself a great players, iftraulta Chestnut Hill Academy, l, Germantown Academy. 2.
