Football Wanes
Soccer Gains
By Diane Lewis
Soccer, the worid’s most
popular sport, is coming to
America. Just as football
overtook baseball as America’s
number one sport a few years
back (excluding the World
Series, of course) sports
experts are saying it’s time fora
change.
Here at Capitol Campus you
have an opportunity to develop
soccer watching skills and
avoid the rush that’s sure to
come.
Many of you are probably
shaking your heads in disbelief
and mumbling that you've spent
years studying the pros and
cons of the veer offense and
memorizing play books and
statistics and you’re not about
to let those years go down the
tube.
Don’t panic! Tm not
suggesting that you abandon
football. But rather that you
expand your sports knowledge
to include soccer.
For those of you who have
never been to a soccer game it’s
not too late. The Capitol
Campus Soccer Club still has a
few home games left (Ihey play
Spring Garden Saturday at 1:00
p.m.)
To get you started here are
some of the basic elements of
the game:
1. The soccer ball is approxi
mately 27 inches in diameter
and weighs about 15 ounces.
2. The soccer field is slightly
larger than a football field. At
each end are the goals which
are eight feet high and 24 feet
wide. The goal is lined by an 18
yard square known as the
penalty area.
3. The game is divided into two
45- minute halves with a ten
minute break between halves.
4. After a coin toss to determine
which team will kick off and
which goal each team will
defend the game is started by a
place kick.

5. The game is continuous-The
clock is stopped only when a
goal is scored or for substitu
tions and injuries.
6. No player is allowed to
intentionally touch the ball with
his hands or arms except the
goalie when he is in his own
penalty area.
7. When the ball goes out of
bounds over the touchline
(sideline) a player of the team
opposite the one that last
touched it throws the ball back
in.
8. When the ball goes out of
bounds over the end lines it is
put back into play by a comer
kick if it was last touched by a
member of the defending team
or a goal kick if it was last
touched by a member of the
attacking team.
9. For serious fouls by the
defensive team in their own
penalty area a penalty kick is
awarded. For serious fouls
outside the penalty area a direct
kick is awarded. For minor
infractions anywhere on the
field an indirect free kick is
awarded.
In soccer, as in all team
sports, strategy is important
Here are two examples of the
kinds of things a soccer team
might do to gain an advantage
over an opponent
1. A triangle passing situation
when three attacking players
form a triangle around a
defensive player. This gives the
attacking player with the ball
two possible pass receiveis.
2. Tying to draw an opponent
off side. Off Side is a
complicated rale with a lot of
exceptions. Basically, a player
is off side when he is in the
opponent’s half of the field and
is closer to the goal than the
ball.
These are, of course, just
basics. To really appreciate the
excitement and action of soccer
you have to go to a game. Why
not this week?

Kicker Results Are In
By Diane Lewis
A tie game with Messiah on
Tuesday night was the high
point of last week for the
Capitol Campus Soccer Club.
Two successful penalty kicks by
Omar Bakar accounted for
Capitol’s goals which tied the
game at the end or regular play.
After a twenty minute overtime
in close to freezing tempera
tures, the strong defenses of
both teams froze the score at
2-2.
On thursday the Capitolites
thought they would have an
easy game, for a 'change-until
the Valley Foige bus drove into
the parking lot a half-hour late
and an international troop or
soccer players marched into the
locker room.
The Capitol Club stayed cool
and played a good defensive
