The Junior Varsity soccer team puts its three-year undefeated record on the line today when it takes on a tough team from Southeastern Massachusetts Institute of Technology at 3 p.m. here.

S.M.I.T. will provide tough opposition, according to Harvard coach Seamus Malin. "They're loaded with a bunch of Portuguese kids who are good ballhandlers. Since it is our first game it could be tough."

The J.V. is loaded itself--loaded with promising young sophomores. John Runyon and Stu Micklejohn will be starting at halfback and forward respectively, and combined with the experience of players like John Metzger and Ben Phinney will make up another powerful J.V. squad.

Metzger scored two goals against M.I.T. with the varsity Monday and Phinney also played with the varsity in that game. The defensive chores will be handled by veterans Hillary Worthen and Andy Abbott.

"We have good depth and have had some nice surprises," Malin said. "Gene Warner, for instance, who had never played soccer at Harvard before, came out this year and promises to be one of our top players."
