Minutes later, Yehia, again cutting toward the goal, took a good pass from left halfback Abi Azikiwe, and caught the Lion goalie going the wrong way, drilling his shot off his opponents outstreached hands. It was Yehia's seventh score of the young season...
There is no doubt that the eleven players who start this morning for the Crimson will be anxious to show that they belong in the Ivy elite. Goalie Dick Locksley wants to show that he is ready and able to mind the nets against any opposition. Halfback Richie Hardy and fullback Bob Gray are also eager to show their stuff.
