in the Good Neighbor policy but
finds it hard sometimes to prac

Senor Lombana, who is better
known as "Jake" on the Penn
State campus, earned all-Ameri

and represents one of the few ex
perienced players available to
Coach Bill Jeffrey as the 1943
season approaches, "
But more important to the
South American youth than wins
and losses is his "personal determ
ination to uphold 'Coach Jeffrey's
reputation for turning out win
ning teams.
Lombana, who went to France
and Belgium for his early school
ing, is particularly anxious to
win the Temple game this year.
"Temple will be a tough .game,"
he promised, "because that was
the one team that beat is last
year, and_ we're going—out- of -our
way to make that one tough,"

Colgate brings to town a team
which Coach Andy Kerr describes
as "creditable" but the lineup 111 7
dicates that Kerr's description is
somewhat conservative. Although
not revelling in the abundance of
material Which the Lions ran into
last week, Kerr has nine gridders
from last year's Colgate squad to
use as a nucleus.
Kerr has a wealth of good backs
.but the individual sparkplug.:is
Mike Micka; 185-pound two-yearl
varsity fullback who has returned
to continue as a key ball-handler
and line backer-up in • Colgate's
double-wing formation. Other full.:
backs are Eddie. Schneider, 190-
