There was neither rain nor mud here yesterday, but the varsity soccer team repeated last weeks sorry performance against Brown anyway, and lost to Yale 6 to 3.
Yale, like Brown, won the game early simply by outhustling Harvard's defensemen. Before the first period was over they had put three shots past goalie Nat Bowditch, and they led 4-0 before Harvard woke up.
Harvard did have flashes of briliance all afternoon, but, save for about ten minutes in the middle of the third quarter when they scored twice and missed several other good shots, the Crimson never mounted an intensive attack.
Yale's first three goals, scored by Johnny Griswold, Joe Upton, and John Kerry, were all untouchable blasts which the fast linemen got off after beating Harvard's fullbacks.
Charlie Njoku scored two of the Crimson's three goals to take the Ivy League scoring league.
His closest rival, Penn's Rodger Lorberbaum, is two goals behind but has one last chance to catch Njoku today in Penn's game with Cornell, Jim Saltonstall registered Harvard's other tally, when he put in a rebound on another Njoku shot.
