Harry G. Fry ’32

Football

A four-sport athlete at Bucknell, Harry “Pete” Fry played a vital role on Bucknell’s 1931 football team, one of just three undefeated grid teams in school history. Fry played both back and end on that team, and he was a key player in Bucknell’s landmark 14-13 win over undefeated Fordham at the Polo Grounds in the final game of the season. In that contest, Fry scored the game-winning touchdown on a short pass play, after he set up the score by throwing a 45-yard pass to Hall of Famer Clarke Hinkle. A versatile athlete who also punted for the Bucknell football squad, Fry was a leading scorer on the Bison basketball team, was a star pitcher and outfield in baseball and competed in track and field as well. A native of Picture Rocks, Pa., Fry was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. He died in April of 1997. (Bucknell Hall of Fame Class of 1997)
