The University soccer eleven, in the first of the week-end tussles against Dartmouth, went down to defeat before the invaders in a closely contested match on Soldiers Field yesterday. The final score, 5-1, gives no linking of the closeness of the conflict, almost half the play taking place in the near vicinity of the Green goal. Harvard's shooting was wild, and this together with Captain Forest's fine work in the Dartmouth Cage, kept the University score down.

All the Dartmouth scores were made by the right side of the line and the center forward. Sager was the high scorer of the game with three tallies to his credit.

Both elevens scored once in the opening session. Gans putting the ball in the net shortly before the end of the period.

The scoring in the second period was all Dartmouth's, the University defense being pierced four times by the speedy Dartmouth forwards.
