OCCQI' With five returning lettermen, it looked as if the Milton Soccer Team might again win the Gummere Cup. As it turned out, there was not enough strength and experi- ence for the Team to end up with a win- ning record. In the first game, the Squad looked better beating Brooks 3-0 than it had in any pre-season practice. Frank Davis, playing soccer for the first time at Milton, scored first. Tony Bradley, likewise playing his first year of soccer, scored the second goal. A penalty kick by Phil Perry accounted for the last Milton tally. The next opponent was the Harvard Freshmen. The defense played brilliantly, especially fullback john Farrington and goalie jim Perkins, who held the Crimson to the lone goal of the afternoon. The team might have won an unprecedented victory against the Frosh if there had been a good scoring punch. Facing a powerful Tabor Team, Milton made a very creditable showing until the final period. Going into the last quarter, the score was tied at 1-1, but towards the end of the game Tabor put in two quick goals to win by a 3-1 margin. The Team missed Perkins who had sprained his ankle in practice. The defense again played well. At this point in the season, with the Team desperate for a scoring combination, Cap- tain Phil Perry, a natural center halfback, was moved to center forward. This paid off in the next game, as Milton beat Browne 81 Nichols 3-1, Perry scoring first on a break. Harry Eldridge came through with the other two goals. Governor Dummer proved to be too strong, as their two Liberians each scored in a 3-0 Milton defeat. No Milton player excelled in this game. A windy day at St. Mark's found the Orange and Blue outplay- ing the opposition but losing in a 2-1 game. Henry Cortesi scored the lone Milton goal. Belmont Hill came up with an upset, beating Milton 1-0 as the Team played its worst game of the year. It was the first time a Belmont Hill Soccer Team had ever won a game from Milton. The Team played its best game against Nobles. The opposition scored early in the first quarter, but Ebby Faber quickly put in the equalizer. From there on, Milton kept the ball in the Nobles half of the field most of the time, although there wasn't another score until Tony Bradley found the nets in the third quarter. Ebby Faber scored again and Henry Cortesi put in the final tally to make the score 4-1. Durant, Cortesi, and Perry all played very well in this game. In the final game, Milton faced a strong Graduate Team which was soundly beaten, 4-0. This was the first time in three years that the Grads had been defeated. Faber picked up two goals and Robertson and Perry each scored once, the latteris being on a penalty kick. As the season drew to a close, the Team showed the scoring power which was so badly needed in earlier games. The retum of Jim Perkins also strengthened the Team greatly. Fullbacks john Farrington and David Brayton are to be commended for their out- standing defensive play. The halfback line of Durant, Hartmann and Cortesi proved to be very effective and will doubtless form the nucleus of next yearis Team. Tony Bradley, playing inside, improved rapidly and Faber developed into a real scoring threat as he scored four goals in the last two games. jim Perkins showed the po- tential of being a stand-out goalie in the few games which he played. Perry was the high man in evaluated points, closely fol- lowed Bill Hartmann. Much credit is due Mr. Koehler for his excellent coaching. Best of luck to him and to Captain-elect Bill Hartmann in bringing the Gummere Cup to Milton again next season.
