The University soccer team was held to a 1 to 1 tie by a powerful Syracuse eleven on Saturday.
In spite of the fact that the Syracuse team had defeated the Dartmouth players, who beat Harvard, and were generally conceded to have a decided edge, the Crimson booters displayed a superiority in all departments of the game.
The first score came early in the second period when E. C. Tatham '31 scored on a well placed shot from scrimmage. From this point on the Harvard team kept the ball in enemy territory for the majority of the time, but due to the lack of coordination of the forward line they were unable to score again.
The tying Syracuse tally came on a penalty kick in the last period. A desperate rally brought the ball to a threatening position, but the game ended with the ball still in scrimmage before the Syracuse goal.
The summary follows: Score-Harvard 1; Syracuse 1. Goals--Tatham, Shantz. Referee--Horrocks, Linesmen--Cooper and Stern. Time--four 22-minute periods.
