Background edit

Main article: Penn State Nittany Lions men's soccer

The 1932 season was the Nittany Lions' 22nd season as a varsity soccer program, and their 7th season playing in the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association League. The team was led by 7th year head coach, William Jeffrey, who had previously served as the head coach for the semi-professional soccer team, Altoona Works.

At the conclusion of the 1930 season, at the annual Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association meeting, it was announced the single league would be replace by the formation of two leagues new leagues the Middle Atlantic league and New England league. It was announced Penn State would continue to be a member of the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association but was no longer a member of its sanctioned league and would not be eligible for a championship in either league. The reasoning for not admitted Penn State to either of the two new leagues was the universities location. Penn State was not located in either geographical districts that had been set out by the association. The Middle Atlantic League was to be made up for Penn, Princeton, Cornell, Haverford, Swarthmore and Lehigh and the New England League was to be made up of Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth.

After their dismissal from the league, Penn State and a group of remaining members not admitted petitioned the association to create a third league. Penn State along with the remaining active members Syracuse and Navy as well as the associate members Temple, Western Maryland and Bucknell asked to form a third league, the Eastern League.[1][2]

The 1932 Penn State squad was filmed and featured in a Grantland Rice short documentary film Red, White, and Blue Champions.[3]
