Dezdek has to go back more than
three years to remember the last de-
f.at suffered by one Of his Penn State
stevens. 1t happened up at Hanover,
n H., on October 1S, 1919. Since that
hy Penn State eievens have engaged
d twerty-nine games. They were held
wei. in four and won all the others.
i year ago Penn State was rated by
xsny critics as the leading team in the
mnntry. Fifteen members of that
aaad left college, so Bezaek went TO
gsrk with four or five veterans and
iseloped another winner. SO far this
nason Penn State has ranked third in
soring among Eastern teams, and the
Nit.any Lions have the two leading
eorers In Wilson and Palm. The lat

YHiinger, whose deeds against Georgia
