Sacco: 7957 Overcoming seemingly impossible odds-the loss of Bob Swanson for most of the season, the flu epidemic, and a misunderstanding over the eligibility requirements-Coach Dale Harper's soccer squad ended the season with a very good record of 7 wins and 3 losses. The Chieftains were captained this season by Roger Steves, who led the team with ten goals scored, John Thompson, and honorary captain, Bob Swanson. Backing these boys were seniors Captains Steves, Thompson, Swanson, and Coach Dale Harper. 66 John Donahue and Gary Avedekian, who played fullback, Gill Jones, who played wing, Robby Curran, who was considered the most improved player of the year, goalie Danny McTeague, who made 70 saves, and Chuck Smith and Steve Drago, who were used as Jack-of-all-trades, hav- ing played each position with equal mastery. The entire team aided by head manager, George Browne, helped to make Conard's first soccer season a successful one.
