With six returning letterinen, this year's soccer team was large in number, consisting of fourteen eighth graders and thirteen ninth graders. With the addition of Sam Martin from the football team we faced Central Jr. High in our first game. This was our most serious setback, we lost the game 5 -0. St. Bernard's was our next oppo- nent. We knew this would be a tough game, but nevertheless, we played with tremendous spirit. At llE1lfLlI1'16 we were on top l -U, but in the third quarter our opponents had tied the score. With a quick score in the last period, St. Ber- nard's won the game which could have gone either way. Again at home, we faced Fairfield in the most evenly played game of the season. Despite shots which hit the crossbar and shots which were stopped within an inch of a goal, neither team was able to score. Irv Fish, as goalie, should cer- tainly be credited with a shutout in this game, for he made some spectacular saves. In our next game which was closer than the statistics show, we were beaten by Eastern Jr. High 4 -0. The following week we played Choate in one of our most inspired games. The whole team played very well and was not ashamed of losing, for Choate had definitely a better team. Realizing that we hadn't won a game all season and that we faced our biggest rival in our next game, the team worked much harder as a unit. This next game meant the most to us, so we trav- eled to Brunswick determined to win. After two quick goals had been scored by John Knowles, in the opening quarter, we held that lead until the half. In the third quarter, after a score by Jim Kitendaugh, we felt confident of a victory, but a goal by Brunswick set us on our toes again. They managed to score one more goal in the last peri- od but that was not enough. We left the field jubilant with our first victory. In our next and final game, with that same eagerness with which- we played Brunswick, we journeyed to Rye and emerged the victors. Our forwards this year were Jim Kitendaugh, Alex Aubry, John Knowles, Bruce Landis and Sam Martin, alternates were Ricky Williams, Bob Searls, John Richardson, Neil Weathers, Wade Hampton, Tiger Bates and Jeff Neuberth. In the halfback positions were Bill Rogers, Walter Hin- ton and John Plowden, Jeff Baker, Flip Stevens, Scott Muller, Paul Wilson, Robby Moore and Tom Greenwood were the alternates. David Nel- son and Peter Milhaupt were the fullbacks with Teri Towe, Guy Lawrence and Dwight Stevenson also playing there. Our ever-ready C?J goalie was Irv Fish.
