 Class of 1932

STATE COLLEGE, PA.

FOOTBALL

THE SEASON

     State High's first game was with a strong Bedford eleven. Although out - played in the first half, State plainly out - played heir opponents in the second half.
     The next game was one of the hardest fought of the season. The game was played on Philipsburg's new athletic field. The lead was exchanged six different times.
     In the following game the Maroon and Gray regulars were unable to overcome the score which the Howard team had run up in the opening quarter against the State reserves.
     On a dust - covered field State High won a closely contested game from a fast, visiting Cooper Township combination.
     Another of the opponents to go down before the winning streak of S. C. H. S. was Williamsburg. It was a very exciting game.
     The only tie game of the year was with Mt. Union. State High showed several spectacular goal line stands when Mt. Union carried the ball within our five - yard line and then failed to score.
     The Maroon and Gray team rolled up one of the largest scores against the Mifflintown eleven on New Beaver practice field.
     Journeying to Bellefonte for the biggest game of the season, S. C. H. S. entirely out - played their traditional rivals. The strongest effort and the greatest spirit of the season were displayed in this game.
     At Lewistown, in the annual Thanksgiving day game, the Maroon clad warriors closed their season with a decisive victory. After Lewistown had taken the lead in the first quarter State High settled down and showed an excellent brand of football.
