Item Description
Robert Arlington Higgins played college football at Pennsylvania State University, where he was a three-time All-America, and then professionally with the Canton Bulldogs in 1920 and 1921. Higgins served as the head football coach at West Virginia Wesleyan College (1920, 1922–1924), and Washington University in St. Louis (1925–1927).
He returned to Penn State in 1928, first as an assistant coach, before becoming head coach in 1930. He served as head coach there for the next 19 seasons. He led the Nittany Lions to only the second unbeaten season in the school's history, culminating in a tie versus Southern Methodist University in the 1948 Cotton Bowl Classic. It marked only the second time that Penn State had played in a bowl game.
He compiled a career college football record of 123–83–16. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1954.
