Staid Soccermen Accept
Bid To Jail. 1 Bowl Game
The Pehn State soccer team, acclaimed as one of the nation’s
best, has accepted an invitation to play in the Soccer bowl in St.
Louis on New Year’s day.
Coach Bill Jeffrey said yesterday that he understood that the
Nittany Lions, winners of 23 of their last 25 contests, will meet Pur
due university, Big Ten champion, in the Jan. 1 game, although no
official word has been received. *
This mgrks the second straight
year that Jeffrey’s squad has been
selected for the Missouri* bowl.
Last January’s meeting with San
Francisco, which ended in a 2-2
tie, was"the first collegiate soccer
bowl game ever played.
The 1950 Lions have won eijtit
of their nine games. The lone loss
to West Chester was the first one
inflicted on a Penn State team
dnee 1949.
_ In picking the Nittany hooters,
the bowl committee passed up

Temple, Cornell, and the West
Lions Upset
In '5O Mud
To Finish Season
Sloshing through the sea of mud that turned Forbes field
into the 1950 “Mud Bowl,” Penn State’s footballers tripped a
favored Pitt Panther team, 21-20, to register a victory that
would make any Nittany grid season a success.
But coming as a climax to a year which started with
prophecies of disaster, the victory—fifth for the Lions in nine
starts —turned the 1950 campaign,
the first under the leadership of
Rip Engle, a milestone in the foot
ball history of the College.
Taking over a squad that at
first looked too clumsy and awk
ward to master the intricacies of
the winged-T, Engle knit a team
that in its last five games played
almost as if they had worked the
system for years.
That the 1950 Lions had what
it takes to be a winner they dem
onstrated in the final ten minutes
of play Saturday when, exhausted
by more than three quarters of
sloshing through the mud arid
goo of Forbes field, thev tena
ciously ‘ hung on to a one-point
margin that rested on the educat
ed right toe of Vince O’Bara. That
was playing under pressure, the
kind of pressure that separates
the men from the boys and the
winners from the .vancmish'ed.
“Everybody played well,” £aid
line coach Joe Bedenk yesterday.
It wasn’t even necessary for Be
denk to single out Paul Anders,
the bruising sophomore fullback,
Bill Leonard, the unheralded
sophomore defensive halfback,
defensive end Chuck Wilson; and
O’Bara.
Leonard accounted for the only
touchdown produced by thd de
fensive team all year when early
in the first period he snatched a
Bob Bestwick pass out of the air
on his own 40 and raced 60 yards
without being touched by a Pitt
defender. He helped stave off the
rallying Panthers late in the game
by hauling in another Bestwick
heave. 1
Anders and Wilson earned their
snare of the glory at the expense

Loyalty Oath
Sides Debated
By Speakers
Dr. James J. Reid spoke out
strongly for loyalty oaths from
college teachers at the Hillel
Town meeting Sunday night,
while Dr. Ruth C. Silva opposed
the oaths with equal force, and
Dr. Arthur F, Davis defended a
middle position.
Harold P. Zelko, associate pro
fessor of public speaking;, mod
erated the discussion “Should a
loyalty oath be required of col
lege teachers?” which drew an
unusually large audience.
Defends Oath
Defending the oath, Dr. Reid,
professor of bacteriology said it is
justifiable under the purposes of
the Constitution set forth in the
preamble.
“These intents must be carried
out,” he said. “What freedom
exists but that which is returned
to us by the government without
impairing them?” He also noted
that Communists signing the oath
would then be liable to prosecu
tion for perjury.
Opposes Oath
Dr. Silva, assistant professor of
political science, opposed the oath
on two major issues. She predic
ted that it would not catch the
real Communists, who would
probably sigh it; but the liberal
teachers who would refuse to sign
on moral or religion : grounds.
Silva Slates Danger
Dr. Silva said there was a dan
ger that in a loyalty oath case
certain juries would consider
membership' in legitimate liberal
organizations evidence of Com
munist leanings.
In a middle position, Dr. Davis,
professor of physical education,
said, “I disapprove of the oath,
but, if required, I-would sign it,
and then work for its removal.”
