Great credit for the splendid work of
the Cornell football team this fall and
the general improvement of the sport at
ithaca in the last two years. is due In
great measure TO the success of the
present coaching system. headed by DIR.
Albert II. Sharpe. formerly OF Phlladel-
phia. Sharpe, with his two assistants,
Daniel A. Reed and Ray Van Orman,
has laborcd patiently against great odds
to overcome the humlliating record OF
Cornell football for a decade back and
TO restore 1t to sound basis at Ithaca
That they have succeeded, in great meas
ure, the progress of the team this fall
fully proves.
Doctor Sharpe, who is n graduate OF
Yale and has been a star player on sew
eral Yale teams, went to Cornell from
here. where he had been physical director
of the Penn Charter School. He went
at a time when Cornells football fortunes
had been at a low ebb for several years.
Cornell had been trying the graduate
system Of coaches, but, although one or
two good teams were developed, the
season Invariably ended with a defeat at
the hands of Pennsylvania. The Penn
game became a bugaboo for Cornell teams
and the alumni began to despair.
1t was Carnells players themselves who
first suggested Sharpe's name. The
alumni were in n receptive mood and
the Executive Committee of the Football
Alumni Association made no objection.
Sharpe went to Ithaca in the fall of 1912.
II is said that he remarked that II allowed
to work out his own plans he would turn
out football team that wculd beat Penn
sylvania by the time his three-year con-
tract expired. Whether he said this or
not is immaterial; the fact is that he
did turn out a team last fall that beat
Pennsylvania, and all Cornell is certain
that he has another winning team this |
season.
