Between The Lions
.Selection ol' team captain Johnny Hamilton as tlhe outstanding
Lion scccer player this season .brings ’a talc that tinds the assistant
executive secretary o'f the Alumni Association, Ridge Riley, a peren
nial guest' at the lannual soccer toanquet..
The' award provides for the inscription of the top performer's
name on a trophy provided by former Lion All-American hooter Ed
Mandel. Mandel picked^up the trophy in Italy following the invasion.
Jose Lomitoano received 'the first (presentation in '1943 and asked to
take it to Bogota, CoTomlb'ia to "show to his folks. The trophy was for
gotten 'about until it came time do make 'the (award dn 11944. Jess Haft
man goVthe nod then, tout 'it cam e wittaobt (benefit of 'the trophy which
had failed' to 'arrive from 'South America.
Lombano finally did gel the award in the mails, and it arrived in
Philadelphia last year. Jeffrey asked'Riley to pick it up on his next
trip to the Quaker Cijty, and it so happened' that Ridge was on jiis way
to the Army-Navy game in Phiily'and agreed to perform the detail.
So [Ridge—in Lou (Bell’s Car—went to the address Jeffrey 'gave him
and found it 'to toe the (Customs House. A permit wjas necessary before
th e package Could toe (had, (and this meant another trip across town.
The (breakdown of Lou’s Car followed, and la taxi ride 'and the cost of
the permit totaled to about *l-7 'before Ridge Could retrieve the trophy.
Riley insists that Bill kept pushing off payment of -the debt-until
one day a local jeweler called Ridge and offered to give him the same
trophy for $3,50. It seems that Jeffrey turned in the trophy for a
proper inscription, and it. bore th e title of the Penn State Alumni As
sociation. Naturally Riley got the bill! "
Ridge Anally cornered the IScotsman on 'the deal, and Jeffrey
offered 'to have Riley 'ait each of. the scccer 'banquets (for the next ,14
years or so until the 'deibt could lb e repaid. 'However, Ridge thought
it over 'and decided he couldn’t Wait that long 'anid (brought along Lou
Bel'l&s a guest to the affair-—making the debt drop twice as fa^t."
With a guest each year, Riley's still got 6 free meals coming; and
if he wants to| sweat it out himself he can come around for ih 6 next
12 yfears! ■ . : •
.The ibanguet, which dropped the curtain on a successful soccer
season, 'als'o (brought 'tihe title of te'am captain for if 94.7 to Dean Kart
m'an. Hartman succeeds Hamilton who made his toowing-ou't appear
ance'as team'commander.' J ' ' ■■ •
Incidentally, Hamilton's selection as topi performer made hi™ the
outstanding choice for ihe .past two'seasons. He also copped' the award
in 1945. ‘ . .
Paul Bender, Timmy Petroff 'and Dean Hartman 'also made 'a fight,
ing ibid-ifior fe'p honors:. Bender makes jtois ; todW from soocer cpmpeti

■Coach-Jeffrey is gradually completing his Middle Atlantic all-slai
aggregation roster for the "dream" game in New York, December 1 14,
Dean Hartman and Hamilton will represent the Lion with'~g
good possibility that Gene Graebner and Pelroff will also make
lhe trip.
• They say the Scot’s are reluctant to .give things away, -but Jeffrey
expressed his sincere thanks for the car heia'ter the soccer team pre
sented him at the (banquet.
