t the Nittanv Uon. accustomed to
Lad rough-shod upon Its foes, suf
fered the fourth defeat of the year
. .be hands of tne powerful Southern
California eleven in the nosl-season
intersectional clash at Pasadena.
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

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

DEFENDS COLLEGE

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]
