A Few Football Statistics
When the Lion gik. meets Watihingkn State on September
20, the sixtieth Penn State football campaign wil. be underway. 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.
