Jeffrey Still Spreads Gospel
As Soccermen Fight Cold
Not long ago, in spreading the soccer gospel, Penn State's boss,
Bill Jeffrey used to tell everyone, "you're never too old to play
soccer," but now, as his charges are 'prepping for their New Year's
Day bowl game, at St. Louis, Mo., against the University of San
Francisco, the smiling Scot is changing his tune.
With near sub-zero temperatures. engulfing the Nittany Valley
and with snow covering the soccer layout, Jeffrey tells his boys, as
they drill 'earnestly for their sternest test to-date, "it's never too
cold to' play soccer.
It's an odd combination of soccermen that is seen booting that
pill around, garbed different 'indeed from the usual soccer shorts
and jerseys.
There's Senior Ted tieb and All-American Dick Hannah.
Both .are finding furlined mittens to be the "answer to' keeping
fingers from freezing. v -

• Aside from the usual locker
room kidding, Ron Coleman,
the only sophomore to make
the varsity .starters, this year,
is the main topic of discussion.
In fact never has one athlete
received so much attention that
has the friendly ,Coleman.

State; in winning nine straight outings this year, scored , 33
points against the -opposition's eight. Likewise, in copping seven

Delta U Nears
IM Mitt Title
By MARV KRASNANSKY
With an unofficial point total of
65 and three men still in compe
tition as intramural boxing moves
into the semi-final round tonight,
Delta Upsilon looms as the team
to beat for the IM boxing title.
The prospects for the DU's are
even brighter than a first look at
the recordg indicates. All three of
the DU color-bearers are contend
ers in their weight divisions.
Harry Papacharalambous, a 135-
pounder, is almost a sure bet to
advance into the finals, while Jim
Doughty has looked particularly
good in scoring TKO victories in
both his fights to-date. The other
DU representative is Mike De-
Bone, a sharp-hitting 165-Pounder
who was impressive in his only
fight. Papacharalmbous scored a
TKO in his one bout.
• PKS RIVAL
Nearest rival of the DU's is Phi
Kappa Sigma, which currently has
two men in the tournament and
60 points in the bank.' Ron Coder,
who should have no difficulty
beating Alpha Zeta's Dalton Rum
berger for the heavyweight title
and Fred Shihadeh, a good 128-
pounder, are the Phi Kappa Sigma
representatives. The Phi Kaps'
championship hopes were badly
shaken Monday night when they
dropped. two matches. Alpha
Gammato be overlooked- is. Alpha
Gamma Rho, which, although it
has only 50 points at the present
time, has three men throwing
leather. They are John Hanby,
who faces Shihadeh tonight, Dick
Dum, 165-pounder, and light
heavyweight Charley Wilson.
Sigma Nu, the defending charm
pion, has 45 points and two boxers
to lean back on and is still a con
tender. The same / is true for Sigma
Phi Epsilon, which' also has 45
points and two men in competi
tion. Other darkhorses are Phi
Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Theta, and
Theta Chi.
:Penn State and Georgetown
gained an even split in their bas-_
ketball encounters last season.
The Hoyas won the first one by a
49-41 count, but the Nittany
Lions copped the second, 61-42. '
Georgetown University's bas
ketball team boasts many six
footers, Dan Supkis being the
tallest at 6' 7"..
