Talk
About
(Continued from page four)
. . No sooner does he step
on Penn Stale soil than he be
comes possessed of new life* He
meets the boys whom he has
not seen for many a year; he
talks of the times when they
had real class scraps and mur
derous games; he shakes the
hand of an instructor whom
once he thought of blackjack
ing; he walks up the street as
though he owns the town. He
does; there is no disputing his
ownership.
// “
. . . And on the trip home, as
he sits and muses over the, many
things that happened, of the
many friends whom he met, and
of the welcome he received, he
leans over to Bill, "Gee, but it
was great'."
But "there were other alumni
'days—ln 1924, the Nittany Lions
dropped their first game on Bea
ver Field since 1918 to Syracuse,
10-6, and a Collegian presidential
poll had Coolidge way in front of
Davis and LaFollette in that elec
tion year. __
A year later saw Knute Rockne
bring his Fighting Irish to Nit
tany Valley to highlight the
alumni reunion, and' with Gray,
Weston, McCann, and Michalse
shining, the Lions held Notre
Dame to a scoreless draw.
The Homecoming battle in 1927
was a different story. Intercept
ing nine passes, and with Roepke,
Lungren, and Craig leading the
way, State romped to a 40-6 win
over Lafayette, one of the few
high scoring Homecoming con
tests.
At the tenth Homecoming
celebration two years later it
was once again and
it was Yutz Diedrich, a half
back, who scampered 60 yards
on the last play of the.game to
give the Lions a 6-3 win. It was
one of the truly great moments
in Beaver Field history.
Ten thousand visitors crowded
int 6 State College in 1930 to cele
brate the 75th anniversary of the
founding of the College; State
lost to Colgate 40-0; but President
Ralph Hetzel paused to predict
that Penn State in 1950 would
show an advance to 10,000 stu
dents, a pretty accurate predic
tion.
Thespians advertised that “The
Depression is Over” in plugging
their “Panics of 1931”, and the
Nittany Lions in their second
year under Bob Higgins fell to
Pitt 40-6 in that year’s Homecom
ing attraction.
Hoover took an overwhelming
straw vote victory on campus in
1932, and that year’s Homecoming
attraction was about 60 seconds

■ We should perhaps bring this
column up to date and continue
the story down to' the present
day. But then that would be
stealing the glory from the
15,000 to 20,000 alumni who are
in town today. With these few
suggestions from the earlier
years and the recentness of
the , 40 { s to fall back on, we
should hear some great stories
in - reminiscences of Penn
Slate's past.
A good day to you, Mr. Alum.
