When we saw that noti.ce in a Collegian story last week, we decided to go back through the records and see how Lion teams have made out in the past 60 years cf tusseling with other collegiate elevens. Penn Staters first donned footbal. tegs in 1087 when they met the Bucknell Bisons in the College’s first intercollegiate game. The Lions tasted victory in their baptism in the sport and racked up a resounding 54-0 score. Tho two teams played again that year and this time the Penn Staters won 24-0. However, the Lkms' victory streak ended then when they lost to the Lehigh Engineers in 18 8 9 to the tune of 106-0. Thai score stil stands as Penn State's worst defeat *n intercol legiate football. Captain of the first squad was G. H. Lins. While we’re on the subject of high scores, the records show that Penn State’s high was a 109-7 win over Lebanon Valley in 1920. Oth er free K coring contests were Penn State 80, Gettysburg 0 (1917); Penn State 99, Bonaventure 0 (1917); and Penn State 82, Sus quehanna 0 (1926. i The Lions lone appearance in the Rcse Bowl was in 1923 when they to Southern California, 14-3. That was the year Joe Bedenk, present ine coach and baseball mentor was selected on Walter Camp’s All-Aanerican team. Bedenk never made the trip, however, as he was side-lined with an injury. Only undefeated and untied season wag in 1912 when the Lions won all of theix seven games and ran up a score of 200 points to 15 for their opponents. Other undefeated seasons were 1911 (8-0-1), 1920, 7-0-2), and 1921 (7-0-2). The worst seasons were in 1913, 1931, and 1932 when the Lions won only two games each year. In 1912, Penn State met Ohio State in the first Lion intersectional contest and the Lion gridders won, 37-0. However, the game was not comp eted with the Buckeyes claiming a forfeit. The records list the game as a 1-0 Penn State victory. An undefeated streak of 29 straight ga n\es began in 1919 and ran to 19i22. In 1919, Waller Camp named a Penn State end to his All- Amerioan roster. That end was Bob Higgins and 11 years later that end was elevated to the pest oi head football coach. Since 1916 only two other men have held that position. Dick Harlow, present Harvard coaoh a nd a Col ege grad, held the reins from 191 S until Hugo Bezdek, a one-time manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, tor k over in 1918. Incidentally, from 1912 to 1938, the Lions failed to win a game against Pitt although Penn State held a healthy advantage over the Panthers prior to that. Since 1939, the two teams have each won f- ur games. 808 HIGGINS Fifty-nine seasons have gone by; number 60 is coming up. Win or lose, Penn Slate fans are looking forward to another schedule of top-notch football.
