CHESTNUT HILL ACADEMY 109 ilrnirur nf Snrrrr, 19311 On September 22, the first soccer practice was held. Seven lettermen had returned, and these formed the nucleus about which Coach Allen and Assistant Coach Godson were to make a team. Some will, in all probability, consider the season unsuccessful because of the fact that only one game was won. On the contrary the season was most successful, inasmuch as the coaches had a good deal of raw material to work with and round out into a team. To them goes un- limited credit for their patience and able coaching. To the team goes the credit for its aggressiveness in the face of all odds. ln the early part of the season, one letterman was in- jured and forced to remain out of play for the season, and at various times during the season other members of the team were unable to play, but the plucky Chestnut Hill hooters always had lots of fight. The following, however, deserve special mention: Captain Firth, Captain-elect De Ceballos, Rincon, Sukhsvasti, and Hammond, veterans whose work has been outstanding consistently. Miller, our goal-guard, play- ing soccer for the first time, Doeller, Hyde, and Sawyer, new men who developed rapidly, are also to be complimented for their good work. After two and a half weeks' practice, we had our first encounter, namely, with Friends Central on October 9. It was a hard-fought, well-played game, which finally ended with the score two to one in favor of Friends Central. We met them later in the season in a practice game and defeated them 2 to 1. ln the second game with Friends Select on October 16, the Academy soccermen again met defeat by the score of 2 to O. We were decisively defeated in our next encounter, 8 to 0, by Germantown Friends, the lnterac soccer champions, a smooth-working, fast team. However, in the next game, the team was able to find its stride. We journeyed to Germantown and defeated Germantown Academy to the tune of 2 to 0 in an exceptionally fine game. An exciting game was that played against Penn Charter, which ended in a score of l to 0 in favor of Penn Charter. Our next game was a 4- to 0 defeat by Haverford School, another formidable combination. In the last game of the season, Chestnut Hill was defeated by Episcopal 1 to 0 in by far the fastest and most exciting game of the season.
