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.
