    Great Football Honor
Continued foom page 1
Dunn was a stumbling-block to
Yale, and proved a similar difficult
proposition for all the teams that
met Penn State.
“Some idea of his record and ac
complishments may be gathered
from the fact that his team was
never scored upon save by Yale, al
though their schedule included
games with Yale, Carlisle Indians,
and the Navy. Captain Dunn’s
team defeated the Carlisle Indians and
the Navy. He very persistently broke
through and blocked kicks. Able
to run the hundred inside of eleven
seconds, he was down under his own
side’s kicks with the ends. Beyond
all and giving him added worth are
his earnestness of purpose and char
acter.’’ Such a write-up as the
above needs no comment.
To clearly demonstrate the unique
honor which lies in this official se
lection of Dunn for the All-Ameri
ca team, it may be said here that
during the period from 1889 to 1906
on the eighteen All-America
elevens which have annually been
selected by Mr. Camp, there have
been, besides Penn State, only sev
en other colleges throughout the
country (Chicago, Michigan, Car
lisle Indians, West Point, Dart
mouth, Amherst and Brown) thus
honored, in addition to selections
from the Eastern giants, Yale,
Princeton, Harvard, Pennsylvania,
Cornell, and Columbia, which have
very naturally assumed the lead in
college sport during the past 20 years
and more.
This is, then, a signal triumph for
the gridiron prestige of our college;
but not a whit more than State de
serves, by reason of the clean,
steady, high-class character of the
football played by our Varsity
elevens during the past ten years.
Mr. Camp has clearly displayed his
fair-mindedness and integrity of
purpose by thus selecting a player
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
on one of the so-called “minor’’
college teams, and such action on
the part of this eminent sportsman is
conducive to the welfare of inter
collegiate sport all over our coun
try. For many years State's sturdy
sons have striven for the highly
prized gridiron honor, and we again
congratulate “Mother” Dunn and
his grand eleven!
