Uniforms Limited
Traveling Squads
In Early Grid Days
Selection of ..a traveling squad
was no problem in the earl Y days
of football at Penn State.
Charley. Hildebrand, who played
on. the first team fielded by the
Nittany Lions, recalled today that
the •squad was restricted to 12
men "because there were only 12
Unifoorrns .available."
Hildebrand, now 79 and retired,
came to the campus from Phila
delphia in 1886 and helped or
ganize the team that met Buck
nell twice in 1887. While the re
cords report an earlier (1881)
game against Bucknell, the 1887
season marked the first of 50
consecutive years of intercolle
giate football at Penn State.
Most games were arranged on a
home-and-home basis in•the early
years, and Hildebrand said guar
antees seldom exceeded $5O plus
"`locals." "Locals" he described as.
"meals for the visiting players."
pftimes the squad played two
or more games on the same trip,
