For the first year in its history, the Hun School of Princeton has put into competi- tion a soccer team. The team performed rather well, even though it was the first soccer team to be formed by Hun. Boys from other countries, as well as boys from the U.S.A,, worked together to make the team successful. Each one contributed his share of the work by attending every daily practice, conducted by Coach George For- ner, at present attending the Princeton Theological Seminary. As may be seen by the record, the coach was successful in teaching the many boys who were on the soccer field for the first time even the fine points of the game. As the time approached for the first game, the team had gained a great deal of confidence in themselves, and the team asa whole. After the first game the boys had enough confidence to take them through a successful season. The team was composed of boys from the following countries, U.S.A., Colombia, Arabia, Venezuela, Italy, Mexico, and Panama. The most exiting game of the season was played under adverse weather conditions. In this game, during which Hun defeated Solebury 4-3, George Castro was the out- standing player, as he scored all four goals. Won4 - Tiedl - Lost2 Hun 1 Pennington H. S. 0 Home Hun 2 Princeton H.
