The Nittany Lions;: A story of Penn State football

This volume by veteran Associated Press writer Ken Rappoport relives the story of Penn State football from 1881 through the news-making era of 1972. Detailed in these pages are those five dramatic eras of Penn State football--the embryonic years which included a great team just after the turn of the century; the controversial years of Hugo Bezdek after World War I; the two historic decades with Bob Higgins; Rip Engle's charismatic teams of the 1950s; and the most recent and most glamorous eras under Joe Paterno, a period which includes a thirty-one game undefeated streak and visits to five bowl games.
