Penn in the last five years but | think
this is Corncll's year. and we are going
to surprise the Red and Blue.
Lack of daylight practice in the
past prevented us from defeating Penn,
but this year, with powerful search
lights sweeping over our gridirOn, We
have had lots Of practice that has just
fitted US for the battle of the season
this afternoon.
Penn has scored twenty two victories
over Cornell since the series started
while the visitors have four to their
credit One game resulted in tie.
From 1893 until 1901 Cornell went
without scoring a win. Starting with
1902 and continuing until 1912 Cornell
failed to win.
In 1913 Al Sharpe brought n team
to Franklin Field that won. The same
coach won in 1914 and 1915 when
George was coach at Penn. Folwcll
took charge in 1916 and halted the Cor
nell string. In 1917 and again in 1919
Folwell checked in with victories. Last
year the present coach, Heisman, turned
in a victory.
