CAMPAIGN SEASON

Kerry Knows Soccer

John Kerry threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the
Yankees-Red Sox game Sunday night at Fenway Park. But
Kerry, the presumptive Democratic candidate for
president, could try to lure votes from a different
fan base by publicizing his soccer pedigree more than
he has.

According to the British soccer magazine FourFourTwo,
Kerry started playing the game at boarding school in
Switzerland, then he played at prep school in New
Hampshire and in college at Yale.

Nicknamed the Camel by his teammates because of his
size, the shape of his face and his loping running
stride, Kerry also liked to show off his dribbling
skills, sometimes drawing the ire of his teammates.
"He did like to freelance too much," John Griswold, a
former teammate, told FourFourTwo.

By the way, Kerry's position at Yale: right wing.
