'On The Ball' rough 'n tumble athletic nat ural, has somehow avoided the attention of Penn State stu dents. The story behind Jeffrey and his soccer career at Penn State revolves around the refusal of another man to accept the same position. Back in 1924, the Altoona car shops had a brilliant soccer team composed of English, Scottish, and German workers and man aged by one Bill Smith. The records compiled by this team so impressed Nittany officials that they invited - 'Smith to join the College staff as soccer coach. Smith did not want the job, but he did tell of a member of his team whose feet had the gift of magic and who possessed great potentialities in the soccer world. Thus it was that Bill Jeff,' rey was added to the Lions athletic family to begin his meteoric career and emblazon a modern success story in three chapters—from the braes of bonny Scotland. to the car shops at Altoona, to the Penn State campus.
