Bauer, asmilh, Gurney, Pearsall, Marlin Although a1l other activities in Ithaca in October were eclipsed by the g•·id contest be– behveen the Big Red and their foes from the Chenango, a tooth and nail struggle between the occcr teams of the rival universities preceded the afternoon's main attraction. A stalemate was threatened when neither team was able to find the goal, but just seven min– ute before the end of the last period, Tommy McDowell booted in a goal from way back to open the season with a l-0 for Jim Dalgety's charges. The outstanding game of the year was the tight con– test played at We t Point. But with the Army team boasting superior re er es, the Cadets came through with a 2-0 verdict . lapp and Johnson were outstanding on the defense as they tumecl back the Army forward lines time and again . Although the eason record is not too imposing, thjs was the fir t time the Colgate kiclters had attempted a big-time schedule, and the majo•·ity of the game were clo ely contested.
