Only an archaic scoring quibble gave the varsity its victory over Princeton in a three-way meet with the Tigers and Yale. By triangular scoring, the Crimson finished third, with 48 points, against Princeton's 47 and Yale's 26. Traditionally, though, the contest is scored as three dual meets, although none of the conditions of a two-team clash prevails.

...barrage leveled by Brown is the worst defeat McCurdy can remember. The Bruins, led by Bob Lowe, ran wild against the Crimson, who just managed to tie Cornell for last place. Later, in the fall's climactic encounter, Yale outscored the varsity, 26 to 48 by three-way scoring...

(Columbia's soccer squad is not in the League as yet; it may be next fall.) When the Crimson did get excited about these mid-week encounters, it was usually over some real or imagined scoring record. In the season's opener against Tufts, the varsity tallied six goals after its customary slow start; since the 1958 team had also notched six scores, the Crimson went all out for a seventh, which...
