SOCCER The Soccer Team started their 1953 season with much enthusiasm. Coach Watts had high hopes for these fellows, but unfortunately we did not hit the win column too often. The first game against confident University of Baltimore proved to be a real battle. The final score was in favor of Baltimore, but no spirit was lost due to fine tactics displayed by the Purple Knights. Another game which lingers in our memory was played at Salisbury. The wind blew the dust to cause one side to play defense against the wind. A goal was made each quarter by the team with the wind. In the second game against Lincoln, we can still picture .lair dos Santos evening the score with one minute to play in the game. From a defense position he carried the ball fiftyyardg through three opponents for a goal. Next year will find three members graduated, but we look with anticipation to Carman, Grohs, Hoffman, Streett, Wentling and Travillag also the goalie, Bowser, and the boy who can make the ball talk, Jair. -J

No matter what the odds were, the preliminary game was a well fought contest. The first trip was to Oxford where they overcame Lincoln in the last ten seconds with Milt Schisler's lay-up shot. Action then took place at Baltimore University and the game was close until the last quarter when depth on the opponent's bench brought them through. Elizabethtown brought another defeat which Could have injured the morale of many squads, but not this team. Coming back against Lincoln with greater determination, the Knights came out victorious once again. The game that drew the greatest crowd of the season was played against Philadelphia Bible Institute. Unfort- unately, we were defeated. Pete Hoffman lead thc ranks in scoring and was a vital asset as pivot man. The rebounders, Jack Matlick and Grant Griebenow, kept the opponents jumping. John Carman and Ed Moyer were the forces out front who started the plays, and each handled the ball very effectively. J'.V. L. to R.
