The loss Of Glenn Killinger has
been a sad blow to Bezdek. The
former Penn State quarterback was
one OF the greatest field generals
ever developed. Bezdek took him
rs raw freshman from Harris
burg Tech and developed him into
an All-American player. .r,
This feat alone was enough to
establish Bezdek as a past master
at the gridiron game. However,
when such stars as Charley Way,
Hinkie Haines and Smell are men,
toned II can be CLEANED that de-
veloping All-American players was

the country. He gave the local
fans something to talk about last

one Of the most sensational runs
for touchdown ever witnessed.
