Brown Leads Soccer Race

Harvard's 3-1 win over Columbia last Friday has placed the Crimson booters in undisputed possession of second place in the early Ivy League standings, Moving up will be quite a trick, though, as defending champion Brown is already firmly entrenched in first place, having disposed of Yale and Penn, League runners-up last year.

In what may be the crucial game of the fall, Brown held off a strong Yale challenge to edge the Elis, 4-3, in New Haven last Saturday. Yale was considered to have the best chance of keeping Brown from copping its third straight titles after it tied powerful Army 2-2 the week before. But a goal by Bruin flash Vic de Jong gave his team a 4-2 lead which held up; and now Yale can only hope that someone else will bump off the Brownies.

Penn, which was clobbered by Brown, 6-1, two weeks ago, overcame Cornell at Ithaca, 4-2 to even its record. In a real oddity, Princeton, already beaten by Columbia, helped Dartmouth open its Ivy schedule at Hanover with a 0-0 tie, if that can be considered "opening" anything.

Brown's Gary Kaufman opened up an early lead in the individual scoring race with three goals after two games.
