PAGE EIGHT Jeffrey Record Shines As the last molecule of air escapes from the soccer ball and as the last Blue and White uniform is put into mothballs one can only look back and reminisce. Another soccer season has passed and the record book for 1949 shows seven wins against one loss and one tie. Discounting the tie, that’s a .875 won-and-lost percentage. That’s good batting in any game but averages like that are nothing uncommon for Nittany booting men. Under the guidance of their veteran mentor, Bill Jeffrey, they have been adding percentages like that to the soccer archives for the past 22 years, Jeffrey’s ten ure at Penn State. DEPARTURE FROM SCOTLAND Jeffrey left Scotland in 1912, to iet away from the game he ioved—soccer. But getting away rom one’s favorite sport isn’t :asy and it wasn’t long after he 'anded in this country that he •ook up the booting game. He played with the Altoona, Braddock and Bethlehem Steel soccer squads and in 1925 became playing manager of the Altoona team. He brought the Altoona soccermen to Penn State for an exhibition tilt with the college eleven. Hugo Bezdek, then athletic di rector at the College, liked the display of power of the Altoona team and the following year ask ed Jeffrey to come to Penn State for a three-month trial period as coach. His team went through the schedule without a defeat and his contract was renewed immedi ately. Since then the Nittany Lions have finished 12 seasons without a defeat, reeling off un beaten records nine years in a row.

One hundred and twenty-six wins against a mere 21 losses, that’s Jeffrey’s record. Outstand- ; ng? It certainly is when you consider that his charges annual ly have encountered the best in collegiate booting circles and an .857 average over a 22 year scan —that’s outstanding anyplace!

PENNSYLVANIA By George Vadasz BILL JEFFREY in ’32 and it wasn’t until 1941, when Army upset the Lions 1-0, at West Point, that the Jeffrey men were again defeated. Between 1926 and 1946 the Lions played a total of 118 games, winning 84, losing 15 and tying 19. The average score per game for the Jeffreymen was 3.3 to the opponents’ .78. • “The war years were pretty hard on our record,” said Jef frey. “In the 15-year stretch from 1926 to 1940 we only lost six games, while in the five years be tween 1941 and 1945 we lost nine games.” THE RECORD Only twice in his 22 years as head coach did his charges end with a record below the .500 mark. In 1944 the hooters won three while dropping * four con tests and in ’43 they won seven, lost two, tied 4. In 1932, they broke even with three wins and three losses. In ’27, ’43, and ’45 they lost two encounters. That’s 13 losses for five years while the remaining 17 years his charges dropped only eight en counters. Jeffrey considers his '35 outfit the best he has ever coached.

Y, won seven straight games with out giving up a goal. Ray Bell, a State College lad, guarded the nets that year and during his three year tenure of goal-tending only three shots went past him a record that still stands. BILL McEWEN “Highest scoring man that ever played for me,” comments Jef frey, “was Bill McEwen, the captain of the 1936 team. Bill scored 21 goals his sophomore year and during his three years here he had 40 goals.” Captain of the 1928 soccer crew, Dick Marshall, from Munhall, is another Jeffrey great while Bud Anderson, performer on the ’3l outfit, was the greatest outside man that Jeffrey ever tutored. Jeffrey looks back with great sorrow to that depression year of ’32. His men lost three con tests by close margins. October 4, 1941 the Lions’ encounter against Gettysburg was cancel led because of an infantile para lysis epidemic at that school. Highest margin of victory for the Blue and White came Octob er 20, 1939 when the Lions out -cored Carnegie Tech, 13-0. ALL GREAT “It’s hard to look back and name the outstanding players of my tenure,” the veteran Scot says, “I wouldn’t want' to leave any one out but I want to make sure such “greats” as Mousa Berry, Egypt’s great center for ward of 1930; fulback Bob Schu ler, captain of the 1940 team and the present assistant graduate manager of athletics at the Col lege, Walter Hosterman, all were too flight performers.” It’s all in the record books now, ~one but not forgotten. . . .
