With • the following results. ■ As Newton Heimbach ’35 re marked in his letter, it’s been a long timd since a Penn State foot ball, team won seven games in one season. . In fact, we had to dig W.ay. back into the 1921 annals be fore discovering a parallel case. That year’s squad, .overflowing with veteran players back in col lege after,, serving in the army, went through a hard ten-game schedule without tasting- defeat, only two ties blotting their re-, cord. The pbst-war Lions trounced tegms like-North Carolina State, Georgia .Tech, Nayy, and Univer sity of ’Washington. ‘pitt and Harvard managed to gain dead locks against ;a squad which roll eti'up joints agaipst 5,6.
