Pete Fry

Induction:
1997
Class:
1932

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 outfielder 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.
