Ohio State’s first-ever game against Penn State in 1912 ended with OSU pulling its team off the field, and the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions would not meet again for another 44 years.
The first gridiron encounter between Penn State and Ohio State on November 16, 1912 was an unmitigated fiasco that devolved into something more akin to an MTV Celebrity Deathmatch than a genteel college football contest.
But after years of slowly mounting pressure to schedule games with bigger foes from abroad, the Scarlet and Gray began to venture outside of Ohio. The 1912 schedule included Michigan, Penn State and the first-ever game with Michigan Agricultural College as well. Ohio State joined the Western Conference that year and would begin playing a Western Conference schedule in 1913.
His team entered the PSU game 5-1 with wins by impressive scores over Otterbein, Denison, Cincinnati, Case and Oberlin, with the loss coming to Michigan, 14-0. Even though some of the men on the roster were regarded as being among the very best to have ever donned Scarlet and Gray moleskins, their names have almost entirely faded from our collective memory.
“According to legend ... ’Shorty’ Miller, the diminutive Lion play-caller, walked up the big guard and said, ‘Well Mr. Pride of Ohio, Mr. Mauthe is coming right through you.’ On the next play, Miller sent ‘Pete’ Mauthe…crashing into Raymond and he went all the way to paydirt.” “The slugging in the middle of the Penn State line toward the close of the game was something awful,” Maxwell said. “Guard Bebout played opposite of me part of the time. He not only kept playing on my damaged nose every play, but used foul language as well. It was the roughest football game that I was ever in.”
