Soccer .Soccer at Haverford in 1957 was successful and exciting. Despite the fact that three of the start- ing eleven were married, the team enjoyed a record of seven wins and three losses, the wins headed by a 3-2 victory over Swarthmore, and the losses being to such eastern powers as Navy, Princeton, and Pennsylvania, The Swarthmore game, the winning goal of which can be seen being scored by Werner Muller on page fifteen, marked the emerging of Haverford as a team, and as a team, for three quarters they were as good as any team in four years This final victory was the culmination of a long season for Coach Lester who stepped into the big shoes left by Jimmy Mills who went to the Olympics, Lou Matlock made the third team All- America, , S- iiJ«?

I ■ ' iiii tfH :s -JB- In a school that does not emphosize football to the extent of supporting it through scholarships, the success of the season hinges on the outcome of one game, Swarthmore. This year ' s contest was played in a ram which even washed out Bouncing Binny ' s drum and kazoo corps, Haverford ' s answer to a marching band. The gome, as might be ex- pected, wos largely a defensive one, with our line showing a definite advantage over theirs. Each team received a number of breaks but cou ' d not capitalize on them. The tensest moment came when, late in the game, Swarthmore drove to cur one yard line, only to be stopped by a fumble. The picture of the actual fumble can be seen on page fifteen. Though generally outplayed, Swarthmore managed to hold Haverford to a 0-0 tie. Receiving the trophy as the outstanding player on Haverford ' s side of the Swarthmore gome was Dan Naumon, Senior end His value to the team can not be over-stated. Though he suffered a con- cussion in the Wesleyan game, Dan came back to give Haverford a wonderful performance this year. Superb on defense, his timely passes and place kicks often saved the day for Haverford. Since our purpose is to speak of the Seniors on the squad, we have looked at Joe, Skip, and Danny. In a very great way, looking at them is like looking at the team, not only because they held it together, but because the kind of spirit which they showed was typical of the Haverford Football Team of 1957.

As soon OS Jimmy Mills left, Clive Coroneos stopped running laps. Last spring Clive hod been heard to soy, What me get married, me ze Latin Lover? Surely you are kidding, Johnee? Besides acquiring a wife, Clive had four full years at Haverford cutting classes, sleeping through classes, not being able to find his classes, etc. He found a little time in this strenuous schedule to play a little soccer. Adapting his class cutting techniques, he started cutting corners on his laps. Though demonstrating a rather odd example as captain, in a game he was a good one, and those who witnessed his incredible goal in the Swarthmore game will not soon forget it. George School fought the Westtown trend on the soccer field in the presence of Dick Forman. Dick played about every position on the line, usually left inside, but all with equal ability. His biggest trouble was combining his interest in soccer with that in birds. As Haverford ' s most active ornithologist, the crowd felt that Dick dur- ing a game might become distracted by the beauty of the day and the glory of the birds which seem to hover round our soccer field, but this distraction never came about. Besides his ornithology, Dick has been active in the Glee Club, but one doesn ' t hear him singing much on the soccer field, (but then who could hear much over the wails of Versocir ' ) Bob Bookhammer added the maturity needed in the line, and also the ability. Though he reputedly started here before Mills was coach, he did not ploy in any way like an old man. As a matter of fact, he was probably the most valuable lineman on the team. Bob was in his glory at the Swarth- more game. Not only did he play a fine gome, but also he was the object of much alumni speculation. One man with three little girls was heard to say, Is that Bobby Bookhammer? He was a Sophomore when I was a Freshman. The grand daddy of Haverford soccer was one of the sparks on a team of which Haverford could be really proud, and at times amazed. I -8 Hi
