TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 19, 195 D Jeff Eyes National Honors In 25th Soccer Campaign Bill Jeffrey will spend his Silver Annivt'rsary as coach of the Nittany Lion soccer forces trying to improve on the record he achieved during his twenty-fourth year. An improvement on a season which included eight victories and a tie for the national collegiate championship can mean but one thing— the undisputed possession of na tional honors. Jeffrey, who began a auarter century ago to develop "boys with educated feet," is looking ahead to his eight 1950 opponents as potential additions to the 14- game winning streak now in pro gress. Lion Court Team Accepts Spartan Tournament Bid Another hint that the powers behind the' Nittany Lion basket ball machine are pointing toward bigger and better things popped up during the past summer. On a day when soaring tem peratures were more suitable to sunbathing than sports, came the news that for the second succes sive year Penn State's basketball team will participate in an inter sectional tournament during the 1950 Christmas holidays. 2nd In Dixie Classic Last year, cast as decided un derdogs, the Nittany courtmen clawed their way into the finals of the Dixie Tournament at Ral eigh, N.

January 2, 'On The Ball'— (Continued from page four) But the high-and-mighty magistrate bade the game go on And Liverlips fouled a slider that landed on a lawn "Four-eyes" looking plateward, seeing the batter's muscles thrum Thought, "I hope dey got cold water, 'cause I fear my time has come." Our hero makes an awful curse and slams his bat upon the plate Out squirts a quid of I terbaccy, through teeth clenched in hate And now poor Schultz he holds the ball, and now he lets it go And now confetti darkens the sky as the fielder watches it go. Oh, open the winder, Aunt Minnie, my Pirates are coming back Yodels the happy troubadour prostrate upon his back And filing out of old Forbes Field; Jumpy as a flock of wrens, The crowd is boasting 'cause old Liverlips came through for them again.

Fifty men, have participated in these sessions, includinz six members of last year's starting eleven. Of these six, four are for wards, which could mean that the Lion offense will be stronger than ever. The 1949 team was held to two goals only twice, by powerful Temple. who succumbed, 2-1, and in the January 1 Bowl Game when San Francisco tied State, 2-2. Defensive Problems The defense this year, however, presents a problem. One starter remains from the '49 club, full back Bill Yerkes. A complete re building job will be necessary. with George "Red" Emig, a re serve last year, and a host of sophomores being counted upon heavily. Impressive among these have been Frank Fulmer. Kurt Klaus, and Jack Charlton, all halfbacks, and Jay Simmons. a fullback. Forward lineman who have been impressive in early drills are Gary Nugent and Gus Bigott, a 32-year-old former All-American who can still hold his own and better, even though playing with men ten years his junior. on the way home from the Spar tan Tournament, while Ithaca and Rhode Island State both will ap pear on the home floor.
