The Crimson soccer team lost its last contest before the Yale game when Springfield won a 1-0 decision from it Saturday afternoon on Soldiers Field.

Despite a reorganized Harvard forward line, the visitors managed to keep the ball in Crimson territory for most of the game. The strong defensive work of full-backs, and the goal-guarding of Thomas, however, held Springfield to a scoreless tie until late in the second period, when Fowler took the ball from a hard scrimmage near the Crimson goal and scored on a straight kick.

The Freshmen soccer men, in a game also played on Soldiers Field on Saturday, defeated St. George's School, 3-0.
