Except for a tie in 1942, Bill Jeffrey's socermen boast a clean slate in their twelve encounters with the booting Bisons. Victims of the Scot's first postwar team by a 6-0 count last season, the Buck nell performers are currently under the direction of Bill Lane, a newcomer to the Bison's coach ing staff. Lane, a graduate of Bucknell in '39 and a former soccer star, is counting on co-captains Willis Boyer of Flushing, N.Y., and Andy Rice of Lewisburg to sup ply the vanguard for his 35-man aggregation. The Bucknell soccermen made their debut in the Middle Atlantic Soccer Conference when they dropped a 2-1 encounter to West Chester Teachers in their season's inaugural last Saturday. Tomorrow's game will mark Coach Jeffrey's 22nd year as a Lion soccer coach. His won-lost percentage of .817 over the past 21 years has never been surpassed in collegiate annals. Famed not only for his consistently superior teams, Jeffrey is also widely known as an instructor of other soccer coaches. New Track Nate Cartmell, former Lion track coach, is back in college coaching ranks. He has accepted a position as assistant to George Eastment at Manhattan College. PAUL L. GROVE AND HIS ORCHESTRA No Change in Personnel PHONE 4048 OR DU HOUSE The Invaders Between The Lions Penn Staters, there's a favor this column would like to ask of you! Although many of you don't realize this, our College has per haps the greatest soccer coach in the nation in amiable Bill Jeffrey, and annually one of the finest college soccer squads throughout the forty-eight states. Year after year both of these go very much un appreciated by the student body of this campus. Tomorrow, our football season begins, and anywhere from four teen to eighteen thousand fans will jam into New Beaver Field to watch the warriors of Nittany wage battle against the invading Bisons of Bucicnell. The gridiron sport with its glamour and color, body contact which the American sports public loves, bands march ing, and grandstands resounding with songs and cheers returns to State College. • But behind the East stands, on the baseball field. another squad ron from Lewisburg, this one a soccer eleven, will be matching skills with the Blue and White team. and as in the past, only a smattering of fans will be observing this contest. Comparing the football schedule with the soccer slate, one will see that the soccermen are at home only one Saturday when the Higginsmen are away. Therefore, there would be only one time when a decent turnout could greet and applaud the Jeffreymen. But that November 22 home date with Temple occurs over Pitt weekend, which regularly marks the exodus of a great portion of the student body to the Steel City. So again circumstances will do much to prevent a good-sized crowd. As Graduate Manager of Athletics Ike Gilbert testifies, there are always many unpleased people when a schedule is arranged, and the geographical location ; of Penn State puts us at a disad vantage in which we must do more catering to others than is done to us. Though our athletic teams are regularly outstanding , and are among the best ranked in the East, we definitely are not' a sports school! For many are the higher institutions which heavi ly 'subsidize all athletics, and many those which give ex tremely lenient classroom grace and unlimited hours of absence to members of teams. Academic work still is the subject of em phasis here. FACTORS AGAINST US Against an array of handi caps, the graduate manager does his best to please the coaches and athletes, 30,000 alums and 8,100 students. Sat urday mornings, , which seem an excellent time to hold soccer tilts, is out, due to the Faculty Committee's belief that such a game would pull students away from their classes. Friday afternoons are rarely plannable for us, as this eats up the opponents' hours of absence allowable, even though this year will see our soccermen trek to Hamilton, N.Y. for a Friday match with Colgate. But, as Gilbert points out, we sacrificed this in order to place us on the vantage side when we schedule the Red Raiders in the future. RILL JEFFREY The factors are many and complex, but there is one thing which we, as Penn Staters, can do to give otir fine soccermen much-needed recognition. When the Higginsmen jog off the football field at half-time tomorrow, it would be a grand gesture on the part of the students to walk over to the soccer game and give to the Jeffreymen their presence, and a round of applause and encouragement. The team which Jeffrey will field tomorrow is very worthy of a Jeffrey soccer squad, and our coach is pointing toward an un- beaten season. They've got some great boys in Goalie Graebner and Dean Hartman, Ken Hostermen, Shellenberger, Witmer and others. Your sports editor is sure that nothing would please these athletes more than the sight of a surge of spectators to watch them do their best for the glory ...
