E, The Nittuny Realm “It started Christmas Eve,” “One of Many,” “It’s Immortal,” those were some of the clues in a contest last year to identify one of the Bue and White’s gridiron greats, the Lions’ football mentor— Bob Higgins. On Christmas Eve in 1893, Robert Arlington Higgins was born at Corning, N. Y. He was the youngest members of a family of ten. In spite of the objection of his family, young Bob wanted to go places in the gridiron world. Through the efforts of brother, a gridder at Lehigh at the time, the Higgins family finally consented that their youngest engage in the rough game of football. TO PENN STATE After making a gridiron name for himself at Peddie School In Hightstown, N.J., he decided to come to his present alma mater. En rolling at Penn State in 1914, he starred on the varsity football team as a freshman. After playing on the 1915 and 1916 teams he went to war. He went overseas with the 89th Division, rising to the rank of captain. Transferring to the 89th Disivion after Armistice he joined the famous football team of that division in Coblenz. The 89th went on to win the AEP championship and Higgins was named to Grant land Rice’s all AEF team. Returning to the campus for his final season in 1919, he played an end position on Hugo Bezdek's grid eleven. He captained that year’s team to seven victories against a lonely 19-13 defeat, ad ministered by Dartmouth. Fame upon fame was showered upon the great Higgins with the biggest award of all being selection to Walter Camp’s all-American team. - s * dropped back to his own end zone ‘o kick but instead passed to Higgins on the 15. The Hlg then lugged the pigskin for 85 yards for State’s first Incidentally, after that 1919 victory, it wasn’t until 20 years later that the Lion was able to subdue the Panther. Higgins never coached an undefeated eleven until last season but his coaching record is an enviable one. In his 18 years as head football coach at State, Higgins-coached teams have won 84, lost 56 and tied eight. His 1947 team scored 332 points and 50 tallied against it, setting a modern Penn State record by scoring an average if 33.2 points per game.

COOK’S FRIDAY OCTOBER 22. 1948 By GEORGE VADASZ Much of Higgins’ notoriety came to him as the aftermath of a his ory-making pass play against Pi't's Panthers in 1919. Dick Harlow, Bezdek’s assistant, had scouted the Pittsburghers for weeks, noting that Pitt showed great faith in blocking kicks and put as many as nine and ten men in the line when the other team was in the hole. The Lions were m the hole early in the game. Fullback Bill Hess
