Hampered throughout mOS'C of the season with injuries befalling such key players as Gene Swee- ney, Walt Dabberdt, TCTH Thompson, and Dick DICYSIU freshman coach Robert Vander- warker and the 1963 Soccer Team closed out a discouraging year- Discouraging seasons, however, which have dominated the Mari- time sports scene during the paS'C few years, appear to be coming to an end, at least as far as soccer is concerned. When next season rolls around, the Mariners will not be repre- sented in the Metropolitan Soc- cer Conference 5 instead they will play independent ball. The change has undoubtedly been made to avoid the repeated shellacking the team has re- ceived over past years from Pratt, C.C.N.Y., Army, Adelphi, and Lon-g Island University. All of the aforementioned clubs have been real powerhouses led by at least one All-American CL.I.U. may have two this yearj. Enrollments in all of those col- leges, with the exception of Adel- phi, which had its most success- ful season this year, are about four times greater than at the Mari- time College. Further, these teams not only have more time to practice, but the players also carry lighter aca- demic loads than the soccermen here. These factors, plus scholarship and foreign born stars, sometimes Five and six years older than the oldest Maritime player, clear- ly support the move out of the league. SANDBERG TIES BROOK- LYN, 1-1 George Sandberg headed in Dave Sheridan's perfect thirty yard pass from the right side with 5:30 remaining in the game to give the Privateers a 1-1 tie with Brooklyn College, conquerorg of the defending league cham- pions, Pratt Institute, in a Metro- politan Soccer Conference con- test on Newport Field, November 12. The tie, which sent the soccer- men into overtime for the.ii1'St time this season, left Maflflme with a 1..8-1 overall record On the year and a 6-0-1 ledger in league play- Sandberg and Tom Malanchuk knocked at the Brooklyn goal with fast breaks all game IODS: fed beautifully by John Wilkins, Sheridan, and Skip Pendzick, but never could tally. It was Brook- lyn's All-American fullback, Hel- mut Poje, that thwarted almost every attempt by Sandberg and Malanchuk with some spectacular defensive maneuver. Meanwhile, at the other end of the field, Dave VanBrunt was having his best game as a Mari- time goaltender. He, with the help of the Privateer backfield, damp- ened every scoring attempt from the field and sent the game into a O-O intermission stalemate. Brooklyn's lone goal came on a penalty shot, following a hand- ball with seven seconds left in the third period, by Henry Spadac- cini. SHERIDAN AND PETROV EXCEL Sheridan tallied with 26 sec- onds left in the City College en- counter, November 9, cutting the Beaverfs winning margin to 5-1, and preventing another shutout. Maritime, with Val Petrov showing the form that should give him graduating Captain Sweeney's fullback position next season, rallied defensively in the second half after being down 4- 0 at halftime, while the offense gathered momentum in the final chukker, indicating that its long slump was over. Sheridan, Malanchuk, Terri Th0mPS0f1, and Earl Stuart pounded the fading City defense with shot after shot in the H1131 quarter, but charging saves by the Beaver goalie left the Privateers scoreless until the final seconds.
