Jeffreymen To Defend
Long Unbeaten Skein
A seventeen-man contingent of booting Jeffreymen will be out
to annex victory number five of the current soccer campaign when
it invades Hamilton, N. Y., tomorrow for a soccer fracas against
Colgate.
Not only will the Blue and
White be out to keep its ’49 slate
unmarred but Jeffrey’s proteges
will also be gunning to run their
unbeaten skein to eleven.'
This season the Red Raiders
have chalked up two wins and one
setback, the victories being a 4-3
thriller against R. P. I. and a 4-1
rout over Syracuse. Dartmouth
downed Colgate 2-0.
Meanwhile the Nittanymen ran
up impressive margins in subdu
ing West Chester, 6-0; Bucknell,
5-0; Syracuse, 6-1; and Navy, 3-0.
COMMON FOE
Both Colgate and Penn State
have had one common opponent—
Syracuse. The Lions, by trounc
ing the Orange by two more goals
than did Colgate, are established
a better-than two goal favorite
in tomorrow’s game.
Last season the Nittanies, on
their home field, slammed Colgate
by a 4-2 margin as Harry Little
led the way in the scoring col
umn.
Ron Coleman, star forward who
was injured at Syracuse two
weeks ago, is back in uniform and
is expected to start at inside-left.
“Other than that,” Jeffrey
states, “I’ll stick with the same
starting lineup. They’ve done all
right.” . •
LIEB, BUSS
As usual, lanky Ted Lieb and
accurate-passing Clarence- Buss
will start at the line flanking
gosts with Little and Coleman
lling in at the inside positions.
Joe Lane will be in the center
of the line to greet the game’s
opening whistle while Harry
Lawroski,. top performer against
Navy last weekend, will be the
number-one relief-man.
Jeffrey, still undecided last
night about his other reserves,
stated: “It’s hard to pick the
others, they are all ' good.” ,-He
plans to let Spence Boyer, Pete
Buzad, Bud Fenton and Dick
Yeagley flip a. coin—the two
losers will drop out while the two
victors will make the trip.
HALFBACKS
Will Kraybill, an ex-Lancaster
booter will be at his usual left
halfback position while Dick
Hannah, an ex-Frankford star,
will be -the right halfback. Cap
tain Ralph Hosterman will be
setting up pass plays from his
center-half slot.
Ready to spell the trio of half
backs, considered by experts to be
one of the best in collegiate cir
cles today, will be Red Emig and
Doug Diffendeffer.
Reliable Chuck Margolf along
with Bill Yerkes will be called
upon for fullback chores with
Jack Kurty ready for relief. Ron
Coder and George Lawther will
share the goal-tending duties.

Lawther Sees Mexican Cagers
Propping for Future Titles
Those rumblings on the Mexican basketball menu are not'
caused by indigestion, but rather indications of a dormant ulcer
which is expected to erupt into a spray of titles within the next few
years.
According to no less an authority than John Lawther, former
Nittany court coach, the Gay
Caballeros will soon have to be
recognized as outstanding conten
ders for the ’52 Olympic atnateur
court throne,
Recently returned as prexy of
a basketball clinic in Monterey,
Lawther. saw for himself the
giant steps being taken by Mexi
can sports officials in their zeal
to build up the cage game.
NATIONAL APPEAL
As “Gentleman John'’ himself
puts it, “The sport’s appeal seems
to be national. Although it is com
paratively young, no matter how
far you go into the hinterlands—
to places where Spanish is not
even spoken;—you can always see
two signs of the times . . . coca
cola advertisements' and a basket
ball net.”
The nationally-known zone
master upended the popular be
lief that the average Mexican ath
lete is on the small side. While
talking to Major Diaz, head coach
of the Mexican entry, he was in
formed that two six-foot, ten-inch
giants had seen action in that
country’s Olympic encounters.
“The most striking difference I
can see between .the Mexican and
American dribbler is
ment,” said Lawther.. “As it is
with all athletes of Spanish an
cestry they can bekeyed-up.to.an
amazing pitch and'then suddenly
stage a complete reversal of form.
BETTER SHOTS
As to which country produces
the better shotmakers, Lawther
believes that the Mexican has the
edge: “The" game beyond the Rio
Grande places much more empha
sis on a. running attack with lit
tle worry given l to defense.”
Many of the Spanish teams play
a “Rhode Island” type of game
where defense is thrown to the
winds and the burden is placed
upon the point producers. This
causes their greater shooting ac
curacy.
One of the outstanding fea
tures of Mexican basketball is
the tremendous amount of enthu
siasm which has greeted outdoor
play. Although all the larger
cities have well-equipped gymna
siums, it is in the smaller hamlets
that the idea of the outdoor arena
has really become popular.
NO RICKEY
Just; as night baseball struck
the United States with a sudden
ness and took hold during the war
years, so outdoor cage champion
ship play is now the thing in
North on Route 45
Bill Luther Named
Week's Top Player
Bill Luther, standout Nittany
halfback, was awarded the sec
ond weekly citation as the out
standing football player of the
week.
The award, presented by a
group of coaches and writers,
was given to Luther on the basis
of his stellar performance in the
Michigan State game last week.
John Lawther
(and -.without - a’ Branch
Rickey to produce it).
Following Mexico’s defeat to
the.U. S. in the .1948 Olympics,
Coach" Diaz said, “We weren’t
ready for the' Americans, BUT
we’ll be prepared the next time.”
It could be that the senor was
only whistling in the dark, but
to a few observers the tune may
be a “Dance Macabre” to the fu
ture ambitions of many top-notch
court teams.

Manpower Outlook Dark
As Lions Signal Drill
The outlook concerning injuries continued dark in the Nittany
Lion camp last night as the Lions ran through signal drills in prep
aration for tomorrow’s final home football game with Syracuse.
Ray Hedderick and Chuck Beatty, first string centers, and Ed
Hoover, tackle replacement, remain safe bets to sit out the coming
tilt. Hoover will be sidelined for
the season. And in tackling drills
Wednesday, Jack Storer, end,
came up with a painful charley
hotse that threatens to keep him
out of heavy duty.
Head Coach Joe Bedenk indi
cated yesterday that Ken Bunn,
senior, would probably fill the
center slot, if his injured knee
holds up. Bedenk may also call
on sophomore Joe Shumock.
The availability of fullback
Fran Rogel, at least for limited
service, helped buoy the Lion
hopes, Rogel leads the
team in yards gained rushing, (he
has 172), although he has been
sidelined with an ankle injury for
.two weeks. With him in there,
Bedenk cain field a more driving
offense. ‘ „ ■ '
Missing Rogel’s power at Michi
gan State, the Lions, for the-first
time in three weeks, dropped be
low their five opponents in rush
ing and total offense effectiveness.
State’s five opponents to date have
rolled up 1299 yards, 818 rushing
against the Lion frontwall. The
Lions have moved for a total of
1107 yards, 764 along the ground.
