The soccer team completed a suc- cessful season with a 2-0-6 slate. This commendable record was accomplished with only six seniors on the Varsity squad. The prospects for next year are very bright, since ten of eleven Varsity starters are returning. During the year the line was sparked by Dick Altschuler and his very effective dribbling, plus Eds Fleming and his bullet-like shots at the goal. The half-backs were ignited by captain Joe Miller, while the fullbacks were kindled by novice John Jackson. The goal was ably defended by Jerry Estes and sophomore Mike Kirschner, who allowed only 17 goals to be scored on Harriton in league competition, while the Rams scored 28. Encouraged by more than five hundred spectators, the Harriton soccer season had its highlight in the game with Lower Merion. The result was a one-to-one tie with Fleming scoring the Rams goal in the last two minutes of play. Dick Altschuler and captain Joe Miller were chosen for the Suburban League Team at the season ' s conclusion. John Jackson was voted the most improved player and was awarded the hialveston Cup. Joe Miller was voted the most valuable player. Captain Joe Miller receives the game ball from coach Ted Copeland after completing the final game of a successful season.

Narrowly defeated in their initial outing, the team rebounded and won the second game against Ridley Township, 4-0. Nevertheless, the girls still had a hard fight ahead of them, for they lost the next game in the last minutes of play to Harri- ton ' s rival Haverford, 4-3. At this time, coach Barbara Heylmun with the assistance of captain Rita Carson introduced a new method called minute-to-minute play and instilled in the team a strong desire for victory. The result was new-found confidence and a dynamic spirit, for the team won its next five games with scores of 4-0, 5-0, 2-0, 4-0, 2-0 respectively. The evidence of the team ' s ability shows in their scoring of 25 goals while holding their opponents to a total of 7. High scorer for the season was Rita Carson with I I goals. While referring to the achievements of the team, one should remember that it was a splendid combination of the forwards and the strong backfield that built such an outstanding record during the past season.
