Penn State, , in romping through
eight straight outings this, year,
has tallied 33 points as compared
to the opposition's eight. Only
once in the past two seasons, at
Annapolis' against Navy last year,
did the Lions suffer a setback.
This year's victims included
West Chester, Bticknell, Syracuse,
Navy, Colgate, North Carolina,
Maryland and Temple.
Meanwhile - the University of
San Francisco, coached by a good
friend of Jeffrey's, Gus Donoghue,
has stormed to the Pacific Coast
championships, which includes
such. West Coast powerhouses as
California, Stanford, San Fran
cisco State and Southern Cali
fornia.
"The winner of the game,"' com
ment Jeffrey, "will not necessarily
represent the United States at the
Cup next year, but there is a
possibility that he might be con
sidered."
The World's Cup Tournament,
to be staged at Rio de Janeiro will
be played in a stadium, being
built now to seat 165,000 specta
tors.
Sixteen nations, the world over,
will be represented. Jeffrey ex
pects Spain, Italy, Scotland, Great
Britain, and other such soccer na
tions, to send teams, along with
Brazil, Cuba, Argentina and the
United States.
The January 1 affair, at St.
Louis, will mark the second post
season tussle for the Lions since
