Coach Of the Lafayette Coilesc Soccer Team
In the Pennsylvania State Intercol-
legiatc Soccer League this season the
playing Of the backs overshadowed that
OF the forwards. There was an abun-
dance OF good defensive players who
turned aside the many attacks OF the
opposing forwards.
This can best be shown by the num-
Der OF low scoring games and tie con-
tests. The Lehigh and Swarthpore.
Lafayette and Swarthmore. Haverford
and Lafayette, Swarthmore and Penn
sylvania matches all ended in ties.
while the first three were OF IL score.
In addition Lehigh managed to win from
Lafayette 10.
For this reason the selecting OF the
halfbacks, fullbacks and goal keepers is
much harder than picking five forwards.
The men have been chosen for their
work throughout the entire year, and
not for one single game. The final
selection gives Lafayette sour Swarth. =.
more three, Pennsylvania two, and
Haverford and Lehigh one each. Thus
every team in the association Is rep
resented.

Macintosh, Of Pennsylvania; Brewer,
Of I.ehigh, and Paul, of Lafayette. were
the leading goal tenders. Paul had
more opportunity TO show his ability
than the others and his work therefore
