The Blue and White itridders have beaten this year after thirty-one consecutive games without defeat, the last reverse prior to this season coin ing In the fall of 1919 "'hen the big Green team from Dartmouth took the Ni'ttny lads into camp. Vet, despite ibee four defeats, the 1922 team has earned a reputation that should mean more to Penn Stale than any numb er of victories. laving up to the teachings of Coach Hugo Bealck. the boys from the .Vlttany valley have maintained the ideals of a eiean. hard Sght In every game they played and president Thomas has been the recip ient of many splendid letters paying tribute to Penn State sportsmanship as evidenced on the gridiron this fall. A green team, with little reserve material, foutfit against great odds all season anil the record made in spite of so many dis-piuniging conditions speaks well for the gameness and bull dog qualities of both players and coaches. Injuries at critical times which held the coaches back in their work of rounding a well-balanced com bination into shape, as well as the loss of fifteen varsity players from last year's squad, some of whom had iwen counted upon for the present season, necessitated an almost continuous shifting of players which was still go j.jg on :l W wk before the team left for the coast. The Penn State fiJnball warriors opened the-1922 season by a flying at tack on St. Honaventure against whom they rolled up 54 points while holding them scoreless. The game was literal ly a walkaway for Bezdek’s proteges, for at no time during the contest was the Blue and White in danger. The second game of the season with scrappy William and Mary College re sulted in a 28 to 7 victory* for Bezdek’s lads. With eight letter men from last year’s team in the Une-up, the Virgin ians put up a hard battle and It took the -best Penn State had to batter down the fighting Southerners. Twice the invaders of tho north held the Lion fer downs within the shadow of Its goal line while the Nittany team's play was very ragged and fumbling nearly co9t the game. Displaying a bettor brand of football than in either of the previous games, Bexdek's grlddors fought their way to a 20 to 0 victory over tho husky Get tysburg warriors on a rain-soaked field In the third game of tbo season. The Battlefield lads had a crack team, con sidering every angle of the game, and la the person of Emanuel presented one of the best onds seon on New Beaver Field In several years. "Mike” Palm ynd Harry Wilson did sensational work for Penn State on the offense, while ‘Tiny” McMahon and “Dutch” Bedenk checked tho visiting attack In short order. In the fourth game of the season, Bexdek’s wrecking crew handed the plucky Lebanon Valley grid men a 32 to 6 defeat. Playing ragged football In the first and second quarters, the Xittany lions hit their stride in the second half and tore big holes In the opposing line. Homan, Lebanon Val ley’s brilliant, little quarterback, wus the star ground gainer for the visitors. The Middlebury warriors were the next opponents for Penn State and a Mg home crowd saw the NiTtany Lions smash their way through the fighting Vermont defense for live touchdowns and three extra tallies, defeating the N'ew Englanders by a 33 to 0 score. Clever broken-field running was re sponsible for al! but one of the six pointers, while a fumble recovered by ‘Tiny" McMahon and rushed behind the goal posts resulted in the fifth touchdown of the game. Twenty-five thousand )>eople saw Penn State battle Syracuse to a no score tie on the Polo Grounds in the next game of the season. The teams were evenly matched and neither goal Une was crossed although there were times wben the pigskin was dangerous ly near to both. The work of the Peen Nlttany team against the big Orange eleven is especially commend able when it is considered that later in the season Syracuse jolted Nebras ka, which in turn defeated the strong! Notre Dame outfit. Despite the 14 to 0 defeat at the bands of the Navy, the Lions put up a splendid battle and in many ways more than held their own. This reverse Henry Grimm The Town’s BEST TAILOR marked the first defeat of the Nittany team in three seasons, but in defeat came a tribute. A letter recently re ceived from Admiral H. B. Wilson of the Naval Academy indicated that the cordial relationship existing l>etween the two institutions was more than ever auKmented by the clean sports manship displayed by the Penn State gridders in that same. In the next game, Bezdek’s lads ral lied and staged a come-back, defeating the strong Carnegie Tech team by a in to 0 score. Tech boasted a tie game with W. and .1. and the latter team defeated so that the task which faced the Blue and White war riors was not an easy one. A startling shift in the line-up, in which llufTord. veteran end. was sent to right halfback, and Wentz, un un known scrub, was given the fullback assignment, added weight to the back field and gave the Lions the necessary punch to register a victory. The only touchdown of the game came near the close of the first quarter when Penn State began a march to the goal, with Harry Wilson and Wentz alternating In carrying the ball. Wil son’s knife-like thrusts off tackle, to gether with several forward passes from Palm placed the bull on Tech's three-yard line. Wilson went over for a touchdown on the next play and “Mike" Palm drop-kicked the goal. The remaining three tallies were collected late in the second quarter when Palm, standing on his 28 yard line, drop kicked the hall squarely between the uprights, making the score 10 to 0 in Penn State’s favor. Palm’s great punting, defensive work and generalship and Wilson’s brilliant 1 running featured the game, while “Jimmie” Robertson. Tech quarter back. was the individual star for the .Skllto.s. The Penn contest, which was decided by the point after touchdown and was in most senses a drawn combat, marked the first Penn State defeat at the hands of the Red and Blue in six years. Fifty thousand spectators saw Penn secure its winning point on a beautiful placement kick by “Tex" Hamer, while Palm’s drop-kick for point ofter touchdown went wide by just a few inches. After a scoreless first half, both teams ploughed through in the third quarter of the game for touchdowns. Both six-pointers were made on for ward passes In approximately the same position and of about equal length. Penn’s score came when they inter cepted a forward pass on Penn State’s 40 yard line and hammered away at the line until they reached the 12 yard line. A forward pass to Miller over the goal line registered the first touchdown of the game. Bezdek’s warriors came back strong, taking the kick-off on the 18 yard Ine and driving straight up the field to the Penn 10 yard line without losing the ball. Wilson figured largely, in the Penn State advance with his smashes off tackle and his uncanny catching ot passes front Palm. Within tho shad ow of tho goal i>osts, the Penn defense stiffened and falling -to gain itt the lino. Palm shot a beautiful pass to Wil son on fourth down and tho latter crossed tho line for a touchdown. In the Thanksgiving Day tussle at Pittsburgh the Panther showed much more roservo strength than the L4on and deserved a victory, and It was only due to the stubborn defensive game of the Blue and White that the score was not larger. Fighting every Inch of the way, Penn State held the Warnerltes scoreless In tho first half, but In the second frame the Panthers uncorked anvttack which could not be stopped. The brilliant running of “Hoot" Flannlgan, Pitt’s groat halfback, and the line-smashing drives of “Tiny" Howltt spelled disast er for Penn State. Two touchdowns were scored in the last half and Wil liams kicked both goals. The nearest that tho Nittany Uons came to scoring was on two attempted drop-kicks by Palm, both of which missed the mark. “Mike” played a HARVEYS’ Baked Goods Ice Cream Quality Assured 220 E.

PRESIDENT THOMAS I DEFENDS COLLEGE (Continued from first page.) tor the re-organization of the state government included the college in its list of state institutions. Penn State] is the only institution of which the! above statements can he made. "There has been no change in the policy of Penn State as to tuition. Tu ition Is free to all residents of the state, as it has always been. Penn State is the only college in Pennsyl vania where no tuition is charged. ’Tile proposition of a, cen^r of control of three large universities widely separated and of many thou sand students is impractical. Real con trol means control of the budget, and I no lioard could economically and efil-| ciently administer the budge,ln of three such institutions. “An institution cannot be compelled! to surrender its buildings and property! and the control of Us affairs to the stale without its consent. Two years a&> tho University, of Pennsylvania considered this question and decided to remain under private control. This renders the question of three state universities somewhat academic. | “It is doubtful If there is need of three state universities In addition toj the large number of excellent private! Institutions. Whether the state needsl three or one, the practicable proceed-1 ure is to start with the institution which the state already has, which is already a university in size and scope, and build for it an adequate plant and provide sufficient funds to maintain It] worthily.
