WfeOWMSPAT, OCTOBER 17, 1951 Homecoming Originated . This year Penn State is staging its 31st Homecoming Weekend. -*'•;*.•The first Homecoming football game was held Oct. 9, 1920. was an outgrowth of Pennsylvania Day! Back’ in the early 1900’s, Pennsylvania Day was celebrated each on a home football game weekend. On this weekend alumni digni ’ itaries-c’ame back to Penn State to renew ties with their Alma Mater. 1 ‘ About 1915, more and more alumni began to chopse Penn sylvania Day as the/time to re turn to check over the football team .in •. action, and. to revisit the campus. Their return gave -Penn State officials the idea that ••perhaps alumni would be inter bested, in. staging an annual get .btSgether. . ,- At . the first official Homecom ing game, in 1920, .the Nittany -Lions defeated Dartmouth. 14-7 in a hard-fought battle! Glenn Kill inger, Penn State’s All-American, provided. the biggest- thrill ■ when he intercepted a pass with five miiiutes remaining ' in the last quarter. He dashed to,the Dart mouth- two-yard line.; Joe, Ligh ner plunged for the! score!. To date,- Penn State’s record for Homecoming games stands at 17 wins, nine losses/and five-ties. Syracuse is the only -team which has beaten the Lions more than once. Single defeats were suf fered at the hands of Colgate, Pitt, Villanova, Bucknell, and Michigan State, There are few alumni who can remember when Homecoming Weekend started and even: fewer .who can say that they have''at tended all Homecoming football games. There are just two alumni who can boast of doing both. They are Maris (Case#) "3?ox, 'OB, Shamokin, and William Pol lick Jr., 'oB,' Downingtown. They have carried on friendly compe tition since the first Homecoming in 1920, and rain or snow hasn’t kept these two from their seats any year. Casey Fox remembers the No tre Dame game in 1925 when it poured for the entire game, but every one “poured” into the sta dium with every type of covering imaginable. And so Fox and Pollock will be back this year to help celebrate the 31st year of Homecoming this Oct. 20. £>}c^aefetnenis Thompson-Bender Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bender of State College have announced the, engagement of their, daughter, Joanne, to Pfc.
