Young Tigers

Coach Stephens claim is
entirely justifiable, for although the
Tigers are young, they are presently
ranked fifth in the South and
described in soccer circles as
"talented and determined."

Clemson head coach I.M.
Ibrahim has lost his two All-ACC
and All-South defensive standout,
Joe Alfandre.

Other returning lettermen
include: forwards John Bellack and
Jack Mansmann; halfbacks Ed
Camara and Bob Bolick; and
fullbacks Alan Griffin, Keith Lalor,
and Jim Powell.

There are also several new
players in the Clemson lineup, who
Tiger athletic officials feel "could
provide the punch the Tigers need
to be in contention for the ACC
title."

Lebanese star Nebeel Kammoun
leads the field and is followed by
Brazilians Roberto Bradford, a
halfback, and transfer from Miami
Dade Junior College, and forward
Lou Forline, an All-Metropolitan
selection from Washington, D.C.

Virginia's 1971 lineup is almost
identical to the 1970 edition, which
won both the ACC and All-State
Championships.

By now, the names of right
inside Jay Connor, left inside Steve
Kennelly, left wings Fred McGlynn
and Ted Knetzger, and right wing
Phil Crane are very familiar to
Virginia soccer fans. These players
have provided an explosive
offensive punch for two seasons
and will hopefully continue to do
so.
