This year the soccer team was beset by trouble from the very beginning. The first game with Albany State had to be postponed because the Rams didn't have a coach, and the authorities refused to give the team any permission to play until they procured one. Finally Zoltan'Hradetzky, Ram fencing coach, was named mentor of the soccer team. a Fordham had only three days to prepare for their first game after the naming of the coach, but never- theless they played very well in losing to Bridgeport, l-O. The next game was also a lossg Fordham was constantly on the offense but just couldn't get the breaks, as they were beaten by Fairleigh-Dickinson 2-l, in overtime. The losing streak continued as .the booters were beaten by Seton Hall and Hofstra. However, the Rams, led by Captain Nick Crispi, Dealy Hall senior, continued to improve. This improvement paid off as Fordham travelled to Hartford, and tied Hillyer College. Soccer Finally, in the last regularly scheduled game, the booters hit their peak and beat Rider College 4-l, as Jean-Pierre Anselme knocked in two goals. For the first time everything seemed to go right, and as a re- sult the Rams wound up on top. Fordham travelled to Washington for a post-season game against C1eorgetown's experienced eleven. The game was a hard-fought battle between two evenly- matched teams, with the final score being Hoyas 3, Rams 2. Graduation will take four men who have given their all for the soccer team during their stay here at Dealy Hall. Nick Crispi was Captain of the squad for the last two years and also coached last year, while Joe Thompson, the little man from Honduras, has played just about every position for the club. Also leaving are John Brennan, star fullback, and Bob Cummins, who has served as a crusading manager for the past three years, campaigning successfully to gain a respected place on Rose Hill for soccer. Brennan uses his head for double duty. Front Row: J. Thompson, P. Esposito, J. Sivigny, Captain N. Crispi, V. Chang, M. Azzu G. Owen, J. Mendez. Back Row: J. Brennan, D. O'SulIivan, D. Schroth, P.
