2007 Cornell Big Red Football
Fourth Season As Head Coach • Cornell ‘87 The Roger J. Weiss ‘61 Head Coach of Football When Jim Knowles ‘87 stepped back onto campus in January 2004, his main goal was to revitalize the entire Cornell football program. From alumni and fans to players and parents, everyone believes that mission is accomplished. The next goal is to lead the program to its first Ivy League championship since 1990. Knowles was named The Roger J. Weiss ’61 Coach of Football by the MeakemwSmith Director of Athletics and Physical Education Andy Noel, becoming the 25th head football coach at Cornell. In the three years since, Knowles has posted a 15-15 record and an 11-10 mark in Ivy play. One of his first priorities was taking back Schoellkopf Field and making it one of the most difficult places to play in the Football Championship Subdivision. He has succeeded, motivating his team to a 12-4 home record in three seasons. His 2005 team went 4-1 at home and posted its first winning season overall (6-4) in seven years. The 2006 squad went one better, going 5-1 for its first five-win campaign at Schoellkopf since 1971. Included were two wins over ranked teams (No. 23 Albany and No. 15 Princeton) and a victory over reigning Patriot League champion Colgate. In 2006, with a roster featuring 65 freshmen and sophomores, including 23 members of the two-deep and eight starters, Cornell got progressively better each week. The Big Red finished in the top half of the Ivy League for the third straight year and won three of its final four games. Seven different players earned All-Ivy honors as Cornell finished its second straight season with at least a .500 record for the first time since the 1999 and 2000 campaigns. Known as a defensive mastermind, Knowles’ 2005 squad finished second nationally in rushing defense (88.3 ypg.) and gave up just 33 yards total on the ground in the final three contests. The Big Red also ranked fourth nationally in total defense (261.3 ypg.) and 18th in the country in scoring defense (18.0 ypg.). The offense more than held its own, ranking 10th in the country in rushing offense (248.6 ypg.) and posting two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season for the first time in school history and the second time ever in the Ivy League. Senior offensive tackle Kevin Boothe earned first-team All-America honors and was selected in the sixth round of the NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. On special teams, place-kicker A.J. Weitsman set school records for most field goals

The offense controlled the ball, but also struck for big plays all seasonm including three scoring passes of greater than 50 yards. Cornell special teams also set a record with eight kick blocks on the year, while the kick return squad averaged 20.6 yards, its highest total since 1978. Knowles, 42, spent nine seasons as an assistant coach at Cornell (1988-96), helping lead the team to Ivy League titles in 1988 and 1990. He coached the linebackers (1995-96) and running backs (1989-94) and served as the recruiting coordinator (1995-96) and directed special teams, with one season in charge of the defensive line (1988). Along with the 1988 Ivy League title, the Big Red’s rushing (113.8) and scoring defense (13.7) ranked No. 1 in the East and was 10th and seventh, respectively, in the nation. In 1990, the team featured the No. 11 rushing offense (237.0) in the country. Knowles served as the linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Mississippi during the 2003 season. Ole Miss had a standout year, as it posted its first 10-win season (10-3) since 1971 and claimed the Cotton Bowl with a 31-28 win over Oklahoma State.

hands of national champion LSU. Prior to accepting the job at Ole Miss, Knowles spent six seasons at Western Michigan University, where he served his last two years as defensive coordinator. He coached the WMU linebackers in 2002 after working the previous five seasons with the defensive line. In his second year as defensive coordinator, Knowles helped the 2002 Broncos finish first in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and 28th nationally in total defense (330.7), playing a schedule that included three Top 25 teams. The defensive unit, which included MAC Defensive Player of the Year Jason Babin, ranked second in the MAC in pass sacks (33) and pass

defense (179.5). Babin went on to become Western Michigan’s first-ever first round NFL pick (Houston Texans). The WMU defense held three teams to less than 100 yards rushing and limited three others to less than 100 yards passing. The Broncos held opponents to 217 first downs, fewest in the MAC, and the defensive line extended its quarterback sack streak to 33 games. Knowles’ first year as defensive coordinator in 2001 saw the Broncos rank first in pass defense (179.8 yards per game) in the MAC and 17th nationally. WMU also paced the MAC with quarterback sacks (33). His defensive line unit was rated as the second-best in the league by one preseason publication as All-MAC performers Anthony Allsbury (first-team) and Jason Babin (second-team) ranked among the top eight players in sacks. Prior to being named defensive coordinator at Western Michigan on Jan. 17, 2001, Knowles worked exclusively with the down linemen. During the 2000 season, his defensive line unit was partially responsible for helping the Broncos compile 38 sacks and 15 forced fumbles in 12 games. In addition, the Broncos held opponents to 139 points and posted three shutouts — the most scoreless games since 1971. By season’s end, Western Michigan ranked among NCAA Top 20 units in four categories: scoring defense (fourth, 11.5 ppg.), total defense (ninth, 283.3 ypg.), pass defense (13th, 178.0 ypg.) and rushing defense (20th, 105.3 ypg.). Two of Knowles’ players, Allsbury and Chris Browning, earned All-MAC first and second team honors, respectively, as first-year starters. In 1999, Knowles worked closely with Jeremy Johnson, who went on to earn All-MAC honorable mention. He also developed a two-time all-league selection in Dan Falcon (1997-98) and the MAC’s leading sack artist in 1997 with all-league pick Ryan Bauer. During Knowles’ six seasons at WMU, the Brown & Gold generated 207 sacks — including a high of 41 in 1997 — which averages to 34.5 per season. A three-year letter winner at defensive end as a player for Cornell, Knowles earned All-Ivy honors and honorable mention All-Eastern College Athletic Conference accolades in 1986. He graduated in 1987 with a bachelor’s degree from the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Knowles, a Philadelphia, Pa., native, earned All-Catholic and All-City honors as a linebacker at St. Joseph’s Prep. He also competed in crew and wrestling. Knowles and his wife, Nancy ’83 (MBA ’89), have a daughter, Halle, and two sons, Luke and Jack.

CLAYTON CARLIN Fourth Season At Cornell • Juniata ‘87 Assistant Head Coach The John B. and Ann M. Rogers ‘45 Defensive Coordinator/Safeties Coach In four seasons as assistant head coach under Coach Jim Knowles, Clayton Carlin has helped turn around both the defensive and offensive units as coordinator. After two years directing one of the top rushing attacks in the Football Championship Subdivision, Carlin will move back to the defensive side of the ball in 2007. He will also be in charge of working with the safeties. In his first go-around as defensive coordinator in 2004, Carlin instituted a gameplan that helped the Big Red engineer one of the greatest turnarounds in Ivy League history, going 4-6 a year after a 1-9 season. That squad became the first Ivy League squad to post a winning conference record (4-3) a year after going 0-7. That season, Carlin’s defense regained dominance at the line of scrimmage. After ranking last in the Ivy League and 104th out of 121 teams nationally in the FCS against the run at 205.0 yards allowed per game in 2003, he helped cut that average to 101.1 yards per game to rank first in the Ivy League and seventh nationally. Three members of the defense earned All-Ivy honors for the first time in their careers, with Ryan Lempa ‘05 and Kevin Rex ‘06 leading the way with second-team nods. His dynamic offense was one of the most effective and entertaining in the FCS the last two seasons. Despite having an offense that featured just four seniors on the two-deep in 2006, Cornell ranked second in the Ivy League and 24th nationally in rushing at 182.1 yards per game. First-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American Luke Siwula ‘08 was a second-team All-Ivy pick, while three members of the offensive line also earned All-Ivy honors. In his first year as coordinator, the Big Red ranked 10th in the country in rushing offense (248.6 ypg.). The team had two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season for the first time in school history and the second time ever in the Ivy League. Cornell scored 278 points that season (27.8 ppg.), the most in any season since the 1949 squad posted 284 points in going 8-1. Six of his players earned All-Ivy honors, with offensive lineman Kevin Boothe ‘06 earning first-team All-America honors before being picked in the sixth round of the NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. Quarterback Ryan Kuhn‘06 became the first quarterback in Ivy League history to both run and pass for 1,000 yards in a season, while backfield mate Siwula had the 10th-most yards in a season in school history (1,086). Carlin joined the Cornell football staff after spending the 2003 season as the secondary and special teams coach at New Mexico State, where he also served as an assistant from 1997-99. He left NMSU after the 1999 season and was an assistant for one year at Villanova before heading to Buffalo, where he worked for two years. Carlin was the secondary coach at Buffalo, and in 2001 the Bulls ranked 18th in the nation in pass defense, allowing just 180 yards per game. He was wide receivers coach all three seasons in his first stop at NMSU and also served as special teams coordinator in 1999. Prior to his arrival at NMSU, Carlin spent three seasons as a graduate assistant at Nebraska where he worked primarily with the defensive backs. He was part of the two Husker national championship teams in 1994 and 1995. A native of Philadelphia, Pa., Carlin joined the Nebraska staff after serving two seasons as the secondary coach at Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, Pa. For five seasons, from 1987 to 1991, Carlin coached at his prep

alma mater, St. Joseph’s Preparatory High School in Philadelphia. After one season as secondary coach in 1987, Carlin spent four years as St. Joseph’s head coach. A 1987 graduate of Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa., Carlin was a three-year starter at defensive back for the nationally ranked Eagles. Carlin earned his master’s degree in 1998 from Nebraska in educational administration. Carlin and his wife, Kathleen, reside in Lansing with their four children, Carsen, Julia, Clayton Jr., and Brady.

Coaching/Staff
Bruce Barnum rejoined the Cornell football staff in April 2007 as the offensive coordinator and brings with him a reputation for developing explosive and exciting high-powered offenses. He will work with both the tight ends and running backs after returning to Ithaca after having served as assistant offensive line coach and junior varsity coordinator for the Big Red during the 1991-92 seasons. Barnum spent 10 years, including six years as offensive coordinator and another as defensive coordinator, leading Idaho State to unprecedented success. Under Barnum’s leadership, ISU’s offense ranked among the national leaders each season. His 2005 squad rushed for over 1,700 yards and 23 rushing touchdowns. The year before he directed a 3,000-yard passer, only the fifth in school history, and was instrumental in the development of Sale’ Key, who set the school’s career receptions record. Barnum’s offense rolled up 3,611 passing yards overall, the third-most in school history, and ISU’s 305 completions were the second-most in school history. In 2003, the Bengals racked up 394 points, the second-most in school history. Idaho State’s offense was among the nation’s best, ranking sixth in passing, 20th in scoring, and 21st in total offense. His 2002 offense scored over 30 points a game and averaged 412.2 yards per game. The team’s 331 points matched the 2001 output. Barnum’s offensive line produced two All-Big Sky selections and one All-American, while the offense totaled 10 all-league selections. Barnum made ISU’s defense one of the Big Sky’s top units in 2000, including allowing only 16 points to Weber State, 14 points to Montana State, and 17 points to I-A Utah State. In that Utah State game, Barnum’s defense stuffed Emmett White, who won the Division I-A all-purpose

18th Season At Cornell • Slippery Rock ‘78 Associate Defensive Coordinator Defensive Line Coach Pete DeStefano has been a constant on the sidelines for the Big Red since 1993 as defensive line coach, making him the second-longest tenured assistant football coach in Cornell history. He will serve in the role of Associate Defensive Coordinator for the third straight year. He has coached or recruited 30 All-Ivy League players during his tenure. DeStefano has played a large role in scheming a defense that has allowed opponents just 108.1 yards per game rushing in the last three years, among the best marks in Division I-AA over that span. Cornell also posted its third straight year with at least 20 quarterback sacks last season after reaching that mark just three times in the previous seven years. In 2005, DeStefano’s defensive line helped Cornell’s defense rank second nationally in rushing defense (88.3 ypg.), giving up just 33 yards total on the ground in the final three contests. The unit ranked fourth nationally in total defense (261.3 ypg.) and 18th in scoring defense (18.0 ppg.). The line featured first-team All-Ivy pick Matt Pollock and two-time second-team selection Jonathan Lucas. He has also been instrumental in developing kick block schemes that helped the 2004 team to a school-record eight blocks. The team has blocked 39 total kicks in DeStefano’s tenure. DeStefano believes that hard work brings success, and often points to Seth Payne ’97, a nine-year NFL defensive tackle, as proof. After recruiting Payne, who barely weighed in at 225 pounds, DeStefano watched the tackle blossom into a fourth-round NFL draft pick. DeStefano started his Cornell career as the head freshman coach and academic counselor for the athletic department in May 1990. Prior to

Prior to his stint at Allegheny, DeStefano coached at Edinboro University, serving as head junior varsity coach and defensive coordinator in 1981, with the varsity offensive line in 1982 and with the defensive ends in 1983. He was also strength coach and helped with recruiting. A 1978 graduate of Slippery Rock University with a bachelor of science degree in physical education and health, DeStefano received his master’s in educational administration from Edinboro in 1982. While an undergraduate, he played tight end for three years and received honorable mention All-Western Pennsylvania Conference. From 1978-81, DeStefano coached at Clinton Central High School.

Fourth Season At Cornell • Albion ‘92 Assistant Offensive Coordinator Offensive Line Coach Brian Coon enters his fourth season as the Big Red’s offensive line coach and his third as assistant offensive coordinator. His tutelage has produced six All-Ivy offensive linemen in three seasons, while helping direct one of the most effective rushing offenses in Division I-AA. Coon assisted in the development of first-team All-American and sixthround NFL Draft pick Kevin Boothe‘06, a unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection in each of his final two seasons while working with Coon. Eric Miller ‘07 earned All-Ivy honors twice, and returning linemen Ted Sonnenberg (two-time All-Ivy) and Brian McGuire (All-Ivy in 2006) have also helped anchor one of the top lines in the Ancient Eight the last three seasons. Coon’s talented line helped Cornell finish 10th nationally in rushing (248.6 ypg.) in 2005 and protected two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season for the first time in school history and the second time ever in the Ivy League. The success came despite the fact that three starters had never taken a varsity snap prior to 2005. The 2006 squad also ranked among the top 25 rushing offenses nationally despite the loss of both Boothe and first-team All-Ivy quarterback Ryan Kuhn, a 1,000-yard rusher. Coon served as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at

GUY HOLLIDAY First Season At Cornell • Cheyney ‘87 Wide Receivers Coach Guy Holliday enters his first year as an assistant coach at Cornell and will take over working with wide receivers under Jim Knowles. He comes to Ithaca from Mississippi State where he served as wide receivers coach for four seasons. Under his watch, Holliday’s receivers played a key part in the Bulldogs’ 2003 campaign, hauling in 2,424 yards in the air, the fourth-best singleseason receiving total in school history. He helped senior receiver Justin Jenkins caught 62 passes, tied with NFL All-Pro receiver Eric Moulds for fourth on the single-season list. Prior to his time at Mississippi State, Holliday spent three years at Western Michigan as tight ends and receivers coach. Pass-catching tight end Mo Afariogun was a three-time all Mid-American Conference pick and caught 39 passes and five touchdowns as a senior for Holliday. He also helped lead the special teams, with his kickoff and punt return units ranked among the conference’s best. He was part of the 2000
team that went 9-3 and claimed the MAC Western Division title. That team won at Iowa and dropped a narrow 19-14 contest to Marshall in the MAC championship tilt. Holliday served as offensive coordinator at Alabama State from 1995-99. He helped the Hornets become the No. 1 passing team in the Southwestern Athletic Conference during his time there. Prior to arriving at Alabama State, Holliday was the offensive coordinator at Tuskegee from 1992-94.

The 2006 season saw Roper’s running backs lead the Big Red to a top 25 national finish in rushing, with Luke Siwula ‘08 earning All-Ivy second team honors. Roper’s work with place-kickers A.J. Weitsman ‘06 and Peter Zell ‘08 and punters Michael Bolling ‘08 and Nick Maxwell ‘09 provided great dividends for the Big Red the last two seasons. As a senior in 2005, Weitsman’s accuracy greatly increased as he set five school records, including field goals in a season (14) and extra-point conversions without a miss in a career (42). Zell picked right up, ranking among the national leaders in field goals (nine) and hitting on all 22 extra-point efforts in 2006. Bolling had 23 of his 52 punts downed inside the 20, with no touchbacks in 2005, while Maxwell averaged 37.2 yards per kick and Cornell ranked among the top 30 teams nationally in fewest yards allowed per punt return in 2006. Roper’s tight ends were also generally regarded as the top blocking unit in the circuit, helping the team rank 10th in the country in rushing offense (248.6 ypg.), while producing two 1,000-yard rushers for the first time in school history in 2005. Last season, Cornell’s rushing unit ranked among the top 25 nationally and second in the Ancient Eight. Roper joined the Big Red coaching staff after working as a graduate administrative aide and graduate assistant coach at Mississippi with

wide receivers, tight ends and kickers. He also assisted in the preparation of scouting reports. Roper was part of the 2003 Ole Miss squad that won the Cotton Bowl and finished the season with a 10-3 record and a 7-1 mark in SEC play. Two players coached by Roper, place-kicker Jonathan Nichols and punter Cody Ridgeway, were ranked among the nation’s top special teams players. Nichols, the 2003 Lou Groza Award winner as the nation’s top kicker, earned first-team All-America and All-SEC honors, while Ridgeway earned second-team All-SEC accolades after ranking third in the SEC and 11th nationally by averaging 44.2 yards per punt and leading the SEC in net punting. Nichols finished his career with 15 school records, including the school’s career scoring mark (344 points) that also ranked sixth all-time in SEC history. He finished his career with a streak of 117 consecutive PATs made. Prior to arriving in Oxford, Roper served as an undergraduate assistant coach for John Blake’s staff while attending the University of Oklahoma from 1996-1998. While in Norman, Roper prepared scouting reports and assisted in the preparation of the offensive game plan. Roper was a recipient of the 1996 Presidential Leadership Scholarship as an entering freshman at Oklahoma. A native of Knoxville, Tenn., Roper graduated from Mississippi in 2001 with a degree in political science and went on to receive his master’s two years later in higher education/student personnel. He was a fourtime member of the Chancellor’s Honor Roll. Roper and his wife, Rebecca, reside in Ithaca.

defense to Division I-AA runner-up for fewest points allowed per game in 1986 and a seventh-place finish in I-AA in 1988. In both 1986 and 1988, Noyes’ defense topped the Ivy League and the East in the same category. The defense’s 1986 performance was also the best-ever at Cornell since the formation of the Ivy League. In 1990, while Noyes was the offensive line coach, Cornell had three first-team All-Ivy linemen for the first time ever. In 1993, the Big Red was sixth in the nation in total defense, 13th in scoring defense, 17th in rushing defense and 21st in pass efficiency defense. Overall, his teams recorded 21 career shutouts, including 12 with Cornell. During his 21 years of coaching at Cornell, Noyes recruited 18 captains and coached or recruited 25 first-team All-Ivy selections. He recruited 10 starters on the 1988 Ivy championship team and 14 starters from the 1990 championship squad. Noyes previously served as the defensive coordinator at Bucknell for six seasons under the late Fred Prender and Bob Curtis with emphasis on the linebackers. A 1968 graduate of the University of Bridgeport, he was co-captain of the football team as a senior. The former linebacker was a three-year starter and was named to the school’s all-time team in 1969. Noyes and his wife, Carol, reside in Ithaca and have three children: Jennifer Noyes ‘98; Justin Brion; and the late Ronnie Brion ‘00.

General Information
The Offense The Big Red’s productive ground game is expected to again be the focal point of the offense, but with two experienced quarterbacks returning, a veteran offensive line and plenty of talented skill position players dotting the roster, Cornell will again look to the air for points. Quarterbacks Junior Nathan Ford returns as the incumbent starter and will again have the ball in his hands after a solid sophomore campaign. Sophomore Stephen Liuzza, one of the team’s top athletes, will also likely earn playing time, while a group of other quarterbacks will all scramble for snaps. Ford has the combination of physical talent and poise necessary to run the Big Red’s intricate offense. With the ability to throw the deep ball or scramble out of the pocket, Ford’s exceptional passing skills and creativity within the confines of the offense will allow him to continue his success. In his first season as a starter, Ford piled up 1,417 passing yards and 345 rushing yards and 14 combined touchdowns (eight passing, six rushing). He threw for a career-best 309 yards against No. 18 Harvard and was named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week after accounting for four touchdowns (two rushing, two passing) as the Big Red snapped its 10-game losing streak to Colgate. Ford missed much of spring practice while leading the Big Red baseball team in batting and earning second-team All-Ivy honors, but did plenty to keep himself atop the depth chart with his performances in practice. Liuzza distinguished himself during his rookie campaign in 2006, setting a freshman record for passing yards in a season (139) and a game (114 vs. Penn), earning Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors twice. He finished fourth on the team in rushing, recording 135 yards on 25 carries and scoring two touchdowns. As important as the results, Liuzza brought excitement to the field every time he touched the ball. He had a freshman and Big Red quarterback record 81-yard touchdown run in a win over Dartmouth, outracing the entire Big Green squad. Liuzza also took snaps at wide receiver, even catching a pass for nine yards at Columbia. Liuzza came off the bench to lead the Big Red to a comeback win against Penn in the season finale, going 7-of-14 passing for 114 yards and also scoring a touchdown, while tallying 22 rushing yards. Juniors Shane Connolly, Tyler Lucas and Tom Piselli, sophomore Ben Ganter and freshmen Robbie Brown and Ty Siam will all have the opportunity to earn playing time in fall camp and in competition as the season progresses.

Running Backs The Big Red will rely heavily on its talented and productive returning backs, including two-time All-Ivy selection Luke Siwula. The senior enters the campaign just 22 yards shy of 2,000 for his career. He will share carries with junior Shane Kilcoyne and impressive sophomores Randy Barbour and Isaac Minor. A first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American in 2006, Siwula is plainly one of the most productive and toughest backs in

Cornell history. Siwula piled up 885 yards and four touchdowns on the ground and caught 11 passes for 141 yards and two more scores as a junior to earn second-team All-Ivy honors. He had three 100-yard games, including two contests of more than 140 yards, to move into sixth on Cornell’s career rushing list with 1,978 yards. Siwula has the speed to get to and through a hole and the strength to break tackles and gain extra yards after contact. A workhorse, Siwula will again be a focal point in the offense. A hard-nosed runner with good football instincts, Kilcoyne is expected to get his share of carries after an outstanding sophomore campaign. Kilcoyne averaged 5.0 yards per carry in ranking second on the squad in rushing in 2006, posting 350 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. He added six catches for 22 yards and also returned six total kicks on the year. Kilcoyne, whose father John was a first-team All-Ivy offensive lineman for the Big Red, ran for a career-best 78 yards and a touchdown against Columbia. Both Barbour and Minor will be strangers to fans of the varsity team, but both showed tremendous promise in running wild at the junior varsity level as freshmen, and each are special talents. Barbour is a shifty back with a low center of gravity who can bounce off hits and run through tackles when he isn’t blazing past a defender. Minor also possesses great speed and has the hands to split out at receiver. Both players saw time on special teams as freshmen and will compete to tote the pigskin in 2007. Freshmen Anthony Ambrosi and Vin Falkiewicz will be dynamic options in the backfield and will have a chance to show off during fall camp with an eye on stealing carries as rookies. Wide Receivers/Tight Ends A half-dozen productive and talented receivers dot the Big Red roster in 2007, including returning starters Zac Canty and Jesse Baker. The duo has plenty of help, as Cornell utilized three-, four- and five-receiver sets regularly in 2006. Juniors Tommy Bleymaier and Brian FitzPatrick and sophomores Matt Kenney and Bryan Walters also return in the thick of a stiff competition for playing time. C a n t y Zac Canty emerged as the team’s go-to re-

Offensive Line Competition will also be fierce on the offensive line, where three experienced starters return and will be challenged by a maturing and talented group of underclassmen. Fifth-year seniors Ted Sonnenberg (6-4, 279) and Brian McGuire (6-2, 297) join junior Steve Valenta (6-5, 297) as keys to the running attack that has ranked among the top 25 nationally each of the last two seasons. Sonnenberg, a two-time All-Ivy pick at center, is a rare four-year starter and a calming influence on the offensive line. He enters the season with 26 consecutive starts, the longest stretch on the squad. McGuire has opened 20 straight games at right guard and, like Sonnenberg, earned honorable mention All-Ivy status in 2006. The duo has helped Cornell average 215.4 yards per game over the last two seasons with 40 rushing scores. Valenta served as left tackle a season ago and is again expected to protect quarterback Nathan Ford’s blindside. He possesses quick feet to go along with his superior strength and will be an All-Ivy candidate as a junior. A number of players will have an opportunity to earn the remaining two spots. Six players who spent the 2006 campaign on the twodeep have a shot to earn starting snaps. Seniors Matt Cosh and Loren Rosenberg, juniors Josh Barvin, Justin Mortensen and Babak Motamedi and sophomore Quentin Bernhard all have a leg up on the competition. Converted tight end Ryan Adams was also Steve Valenta impressive in the spring. Sophomores Andrew Bohl, Ben Neighbor and Jordan Tuttel and freshmen Matt Kearney, Mark Key, Paul Ostick and Dom Valdner will all have a say regarding who deserves time on the line as well.

ceiver as a sophomore and enters the 2007 season as one of the top returning pass-catchers in the Ancient Eight. He started all 10 games a season ago, catching a team-best 41 passes for 499 yards and three touchdowns. The 5-8 burner had a career-high seven catches for 93 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown catch, in the Big Red’s win over Ivy co-champion Princeton. A big-game receiver, Canty also had five receptions that went for 74 yards and a touchdown at Harvard, 71 yards on five grabs against Ivy co-champ Yale and 49 yards on his five receptions against No. 23 Albany. He is dangerous after the catch thanks to his shifty running style. Baker has the size (6-2, 194) and speed to be a foil to Canty’s ability out of the slot. A tremendous athlete with a good feel for getting open on the outside, Baker ranked second on the team with 22 catches for 320 yards and a pair of scores in 2006. He hauled in seven passes for 96 yards, both career highs, in the first half at Harvard before leaving the game with a concussion. He also notched four catches for 80 yards and his first collegiate score in the win over Colgate. Bleymaier is a big-play receiver with tremendous football instincts who will play a key role in Cornell’s revamped vertical passing game. He is expected to again be one of the team’s deep threats thanks to his great hands, precise route running and straight line speed. Bleymaier has made his 11 career catches count, as seven have gone for first downs, including his two receptions as a sophomore in 2006. A converted high school quarterback and college defensive back, FitzPatrick showed the capability of becoming a go-to receiver as a sophomore. The 5-10, 183-pounder caught 12 passes for 141 yards in 2006 while playing in all 10 games. After seeing action as a running back and on special teams as a freshman in 2006, Kenney will bring his varied skills to wide receiver as a sophomore. An athlete with good hands and tremendous instincts, Kenney was particularly impressive during spring ball, including seven receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Red-White Spring Game. Walters is not only a good-looking receiver prospect, but he was also arguably the league’s top special teams player. A two-time Ivy League weekly honoree, Walters ranked 14th nationally in kickoff returns (24.6 yards per return) and 27th in punt returns (10.2 yards per return). His 274 yards in punt returns broke a 58-year-old school season record, and his 88-yard kickoff return in the fourth quarter against Penn proved to be the game-winner. He caught three passes for 33 yards in limited time at receiver as a sophomore. Also out to earn time are junior Horatio Blackman, sophomores Idris Akinpelu, Josh Gajdos, Mark Longo, Owen Pataki and Nick Zerante and freshmen Doug Dolan, Ricky Hawkins and Myers Hendrickson.

The tight end position will be wide open with several different players possessing a variety of skill sets up for the job. Juniors William Macias, Alex Spooner and Zach Vredenburgh, sophomores Avery Fenton and Zach Owens and freshmen Nick Pizzurro and Jadd Schmeltzer will all have the opportunity to impress the coaching staff in the fall. The early favorite for the job is Spooner, who is the lone player to see significant varsity action at the position. The 6-1, 227-pound pass catcher hauled in two passes for 20 yards as a sophomore on the way to earning his first letter. Classmates Macias and Vredenburgh both bring tremendous athleticism to the position, while Fenton and Owens bring size and blocking ability. Rookies Pizzurro and Schmeltzer provide a combination of both receiving and blocking and will have a chance to earn immediate playing time.

The Defense With 10 players who saw starting action returning from a season ago, the Big Red defense expects to be formidable once again in 2007 and reclaim its status among the top squads in the country. With depth all over the field, expect Cornell to do just that. Defensive Line The Big Red defensive line has continued to produce at a high level, particularly creating havoc against opposing rushing attacks the past three seasons. That is expected to continue as a new batch of tackles and ends emerges to earn playing time in 2007. Returning starters and All-Ivy candidates Frank Kunis and Graham Rihn, both juniors, will headline the group, with seniors Spencer Hansen and Jeff Rosage and juniors Dario Arezzo and Lucas McCarthy also competing for starting jobs. Kunis is a prototypical space-eating tackle and emerged as a key cog on the defensive line as a sophomore, making 26 tackles, including two for a loss. He started six contests and saw action in all 10 games. At 5-11 and 269 pounds, Kunis possesses great strength and solid footwork. Rihn also had a strong sophomore campaign, making 10 tackles, with 1.5 tackles for a loss and a sack. He intercepted his first career pass against Colgate and broke up three passes on the year. Rihn earned varsity time as a freshman as well and has steadily improved both his strength and his quickness. Both Hansen and Rosage provide senior leadership to the group. Hansen is the team’s long-snapper and a reserve on the line with the ability to play either tackle or rush end. Rosage converted from tight end this spring and impressed the coaching staff with his seamless adjustment and toughness. Both will have an opportunity to see snaps. Arezzo has seen valuable time as a reserve at end in each of his first two seasons and is expected to make a big leap as a junior. Arezzo has the combination of strength and quickness that could make him a top defensive lineman. He saw action in nine games as a reserve during his sophomore campaign, posting five tackles, as well as a fumble recovery. A converted linebacker, the 6-1, 236-pound McCarthy had 10 tackles and two sacks while seeing action in all 10 contests in 2006. He made his first career start in a win over Dartmouth, and had a careerbest three tackles against both Brown and Princeton. McCarthy possesses the speed to get to the outside and the size and strength to play a role in the run game. Juniors Bennett Gerli, Jonathan Ruch and Billy Schuh, sophomores Ricky Ballou, Trevin Cowman, William Hart and Mike Nwaka and freshmen Chris Ciarvella and Matt Frank Kunis Green all have their eyes on earning time this season as well with associate defensive coordinator Pete DeStefano employing a rotation on the line to keep players fresh.

Linebackers One of the most inexperienced positions a season ago will be a strength of the Big Red this season, as both starters return to East Hill and will again be leaders on one of the stingiest run defenses around. Seniors Ryan Blessing, an All-Ivy pick in 2006, and Doug Lempa provide steady, consistent play and will mentor several young players who will serve as their reserves. Blessing earned honorable mention All-Ivy honors after recording a team-high 70 tackles and five sacks in his first season as a starter to go along with six total tackles for loss and two pass breakups. He played his best in the Big Red’s victories, leading the team in tackles in wins over Colgate and Princeton and registering nine tackles and two sacks in the triumph over Dartmouth. A talented performer with a high motor, Blessing will again be looked at to direct the defense. Lempa developed a reputation as a big-play linebacker and continued to live up to that as a junior, starting all 10 games and ranked just behind Blessing with his 62 tackles. He added six tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and recovered a fumble. Lempa has the toughness to go along with the physical ability to be one of the elite linebackers in the Ancient Eight. Also seeing significant time should be junior Brian Ostrowsky. The converted running back has the speed and size (6-1, 223) to successfully emerge as one of the league’s top hitters. Ostrowsky saw action at linebacker and on special teams in all 10 games a season ago and made a pair of tackles to earn his first varsity letter. Juniors Luke Kairys and Ryne Posey, sophomores Chris Costello and Aaron Levine and freshmen Brandon Lainhart, D.J. Luby and Ross Mosher will compete for the backup spots. Defensive Backs/Safeties Perhaps no position for the Big Red will be as deep or experienced as the defensive secondary in 2007, as four starters return. Competition should again be fierce, with All-Ivy junior safety Tim Bax and big-play seniors Michael Boyd (whip) and Colin Nash (cornerback) leading the way. Junior Gus Krimm also made a name for himself in his first season as a starter at safety in 2006. Bax was an honorable mention All-Ivy selection as a sophomore and enters his junior year as one of the league’s top defenders. He recorded 57 tackles and a team-best 7.5 tackles for loss while starting all 10 games in 2006. The big-play free safety also posted two interceptions, five pass breakups and a forced fumble. His 41-yard interception return vs. Princeton set up a 1-yard touchdown that put Cornell ahead in its win over the Ivy champion Tigers, and he closed out the season with 10 stops and three tackles for loss in the win over Penn. One of the team’s top defenders and one

Competition will be the key word in both kicking slots despite having returning starters at both positions. Both senior Michael Bolling and junior Nick Maxwell have starting punting experience, while newcomer Drew Alston also has the reputation for having a strong leg. Senior Peter Zell, who ranked among the national leaders in field goals and made all 22 extra-points a season ago, will have to hold off freshman Brad Greenway, a second-team all-state pick from California and the 2006 San Diego Tribune Kicker of the Year. Bolling made a name for himself as one of the Ivy League’s top punters in 2005, providing a strong and accurate leg and good hangtime. Bolling averaged 36.7 yards on 52 kicks and pinned the opponent inside its own 20-yard line on 23 occasions, including at least once in each of the team’s 10 contests. Bolling had five kicks of 50 yards or more, including a career-best 54-yard kick at Dartmouth, and did not put a punt into the end zone for a touchback all season. He opened the 2006 campaign as the starter, averaging 38.4 yards on his seven kicks with one placed inside the 20-yard line. Possessing a strong leg and good technique, Maxwell averaged 37.2 yards on his 44 punts as a sophomore, with four kicks over 50 yards and 11 of his punts placing his opponent inside its own 20yard line. Maxwell saw his first extensive varsity time in the win over Albany last season, punting five times for an average of 42.0 yards, including a career-long 51-yard effort. Zell made his first year as the team’s starting place-kicker count, ranking 34th nationally with his nine field goals and made all 22 of his extra points. Zell connected on a career-best three field goals against both Yale and No. 23 Albany. Included was a game-winning kick with 6:22 left in the contest against the Great Danes. The team’s leading scorer with 49 points, Zell booted a career-long 45-yarder against Albany, helping him to the Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week award. Sophomore Bryan Walters will again be the featured returner of both punts and kicks after ranking among the national and Ivy League leaders in both categories. He averaged 24.6 yards per kick return and 10.2 yards per punt return as a rookie and broke a 58-year-old school season record for punt return yardage in a season. His 88-yard kickoff return in the fourth quarter against Penn proved to be the game-winner and helped him earn Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week. Cornell’s top gunner on the kick and punt return team continues to be junior Marcel van Eeden. A member of the Big Red’s Ivy championship track and field team, he has 21 special teams tackles in his Marcel van Eeden first two seasons.

starting position at corner or see significant time in the defensive backfield. Senior Chi Chi Madu, junior Anthony Sabo and sophomore Frank Morand have head starts after seeing varsity action a season ago, each earning a letter. An excellent athlete at 6-2, 214-pounds, Madu has been a top special teams player and backup safety the past two seasons and will have a chance to earn a starting position as a senior. The converted running back made eight tackles, including his first career sack at Columbia, during the 2006 season. Another in the hard-hitting stable of young safeties, Sabo lettered as a sophomore after playing in 10 games, including his first career start at Harvard. He ended the season with 26 total tackles and a pair of sacks to go along with a pass breakup in his first year as a regular. At 6-2, Morand has the height of a safety, but the speed and agility to cover the conference’s bigger receivers. The cover corner will have an opportunity to take over a starting role after collecting five tackles and a pass breakup in eight contests as a rookie in 2006. At defensive back, junior Marcel van Eeden, sophomores Conner Hare and Nate Staruch and freshmen Emani Fenton, Aaron Randolph, Doug Suhey, Tyler Vivian and Andy Wade will also be in the mix. Sophomores T.J. Hochanadel, Carl Landers, Sam Patterson and Blake Thomas and freshman Dempsey Quinn are the other candidates to earn a spot in the rotation at safety.
General Information
of the Ivy League’s most underrated players, Boyd is a three-year starter. The hard-hitting Boyd has good speed and football sense, making him perfect to sit in the whip safety position. He finished 2006 ranked tied for second on the squad with his 62 tackles and added six tackles for loss, a sack, and four pass breakups to the cause. A two-time first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic AllDistrict selection, Boyd had two tackles for loss in games against Bucknell and Columbia and posted a season-high 11 tackles at Harvard. After moving from wide receiver to defensive back as a sophomore, Nash emerged as one of the conference’s top cover corners during his junior campaign. The 5-11, 174-pound athlete intercepted a team-best three passes and broke up nine others in 2006, ranking sixth on the Big Red in tackles with 47. He started all 10 games on defense. Nash picked off passes in consecutive games against Albany, Harvard and Colgate and broke up five total passes in the final three games of the year. He was given the team’s Stone Travel “Big Play” award for his game-changing efforts. Krimm is another big hitter out of the backfield who developed into one of the team’s big-play defenders as a sophomore, ranking fourth on the team with 58 tackles (41 solo) with a pair of sacks. Krimm added five pass breakups and a forced fumble. He tied a career-high with nine tackles in four different games, including his first varsity start in the season opener at Bucknell. He opened all 10 games for the Big Red at strong safety a year ago. Several players come to camp as early favorites to claim the open

Yale running back Mike McLeod accounted for all three of the Bulldogs’ touchdowns as the visitors defeated Cornell, 21-9, at Schoellkopf Field. The reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Year had 104 rushing yards and two scores and added a 41-yard touchdown reception. McLeod put in a workmanlike performance, as his longest run of the day was only 14 yards, but that long rush went for a touchdown after breaking three tackles. His game-clinching 9-yard run with 2:39 remaining was of the same variety, bouncing off several would-be tacklers en route to the end zone. For the second straight week, the Cornell offense moved the ball but could not convert its yards into points, while the defense put together a solid effort, but not enough to give the Big Red its first win of the season. Big Red sophomore quarterback Nathan Ford was 13-of-21 for 173 yards passing. He also led the rushing attack with 66 yards on 11 carries. Ford’s favorite target was sophomore Zac Canty, who had five catches for 71 yards, both career highs. Defensively for the Big Red, Ryan Blessing, Colin Nash and Michael Boyd each had seven tackles, while Doug Lempa had five tackles, including two for a loss, as well as a pass breakup and a sack. Senior Matt Grant had his fourth career interception, returning it 30 yards in the third quarter. Matt Polhemus joined Yale’s attack with a 9-of-19 passing day for 131 yards and a touchdown. He also threw an interception.

Junior Luke Siwula recorded his seventh career 100-yard game, but the Cornell football team came out flat and never recovered in dropping a 20-5 decision at Bucknell at Christy Mathewson Stadium in its season-opener. CornellwasthelastNCAAfootballschool to kick off and it showed, as the Bison looked like a team with two games under its belt to sharpen its skills and timing. Siwula rushed for 105 yards on 13 carries and also caught three passes for another 27 yards. He was joined in the backfield by Shane Kilcoyne, who rushed for 74 yards on 10 carries. Though the offense was kept out of the end zone, it did rack up 436 yards of totaloffense,including234ontheground.In his first collegiate start, quarterback Nathan Ford was 18-of-36 for 202 yards and was intercepted twice. His favorite target on the day was classmate Jesse Baker, who caught four passes for 46 yards. Defensively, sophomore Gus Krimm had nine tackles, while Anthony Sabo added eight. Senior co-captain Jonathan Lucas had five tackles, including 2.5 for a loss, while Michael Boyd had five tackles and two for a loss. The Cornell defense was solid after the first quarter, allowing just 186 yards in the final three quarters, but the offense’s inability to convert on third downs (4-of-16) and four turnovers proved to be deadly. For the Bison, quarterback Andrew Lair had 77 yards and a score on the ground while completing 5-of-7 passes for an additional 99 yards. Peter Kaufman had 54 yards on six carries with 41 yards coming on his first quarter touchdown. Josh DeStefano (48 yards) and Kevin

Harvard Stadium
Harvard’s Clifton Dawson scored three touchdowns and the Cornell football team’s furious rally fell short as the 18th-ranked Crimson remained unbeaten with a 33-23 win at Harvard Stadium. Sophomore quarterback Nathan Ford was 20-of-33 passing for 309 yards and a touchdown. It was the 18th 300-yard passing game in school history. He also ran for a touchdown in the loss. Nineteen of his 20 passes were completed to sophomores, with Jesse Baker catching nine of the passes for 96 yards, while classmate Zac Canty caught five passes for 74 yards and the Big Red’s lone touchdown in the air. Junior Luke Siwula led the ground game with 49 yards and a score on his 15 carries. Defensively, junior Michael Boyd had a team-best 11 tackles, while classmate Colin Nash had three tackles, including one for a loss and an interception for the second straight week. Dawson opened the game with a 93-yard kickoff return for a score and added 97 rushing yards on 18 carries. The Big Red defense did hold him under 100 yards for the fourth straight year, but he did plenty of damage with his legs anyway. Chris Pizzotti was 15-of-24 passing for 231 yards, with six of his passes going in Corey Mazza’s direction. The senior wide receiver had 99 yards and a touchdown. Harvard collected seven sacks against a Cornell offensive line that had allowed just one in the team’s first three games. Brad Bagdis had three sacks to go along with his eight tackles, while Daniel Tanner and Ryan Tully each had a game-high 12 tackles.

Brown took advantage of Cornell mistakes and was able to convert on its scoring chances as the Bears earned a 28-7 Homecoming win over the Big Red at Brown Stadium. The visitors came into the contest with some momentum after a big 38-14 win over Colgate, but that quickly faded as untimely penalties and poor execution on both sides of the ball led Brown to the victory. The scrappy Brown squad controlled the second half and ran for 220 yards as a team, with Dereck Knight posting 96 yards. Joe DiGiacomo was 17-of-27 passing for 183 yards and two touchdowns in the victory. Sophomore Nathan Ford was 9-of-16 for 117 yards and a touchdown. He also was intercepted once. Luke Siwula ran for 49 yards on 16 carries, but had zero yards on his only carry in the second half. Zac Canty caught four passes for 73 yards in the loss. Brown dominated in first downs (2311), rushing yardage (220-76) and total offense (403-193). They also held a 33:5426:06 time of possession advantage. Junior linebacker Doug Lempa had 13 tackles, while sophomore safety Tim Bax had the team’s lone interception in the loss. Gus Krimm and Jonathan Lucas each tallied nine tackles, while Ryan Blessing chipped in with eight. Lucas McCarthy registered his first career sack.

With a Homecoming crowd behind them and a defense that made big plays early and often, the Big Red football team snapped a 10-game losing skid to Central New York rival Colgate with a decisive 38-14 victory at Schoelkopf Field. The win was the first by Cornell over Colgate since 1992. The Big Red defense limited the Raiders to 191 yards as Cornell built a 31-8 lead before Colgate picked up 160 yards as the home team dropped back into a prevent defense for the final four possessions. Cornell held Jordan Scott to 42 yards on 17 carries, but he did score two short touchdowns. Both Colin Nash and Graham Rihn intercepted passes, the latter on a tipped pass by Matt Darby, and Matt Grant recovered a fumble, all coming in the first 18 minutes of play. Nathan Ford threw for a pair of touchdowns and ran for two more, while Luke Siwula pounded out 145 yards, including 100 yards after the break, on 29 carries with a touchdown rushing and receiving. Jesse Baker had another big day catching the football, making four grabs for 80 yards and scoring his first collegiate touchdown. Ford finished the day 9-for-17 for 144 yards with two scores and added 38 yards on the ground to go along with his two touchdowns. The Big Red offense piled up 220 yards on the ground despite a 37-yard loss on a bad snap early in the first quarter. Mike Saraceno was 15-of-28 passing for 219 yards and was picked off twice. He gained 84 yards on the ground, helped out

CORNELL 14, NO. 15 PRINCETON 7 Schoellkopf Field
It was a fitting ending to a CornellPrinceton football game. The Tigers, trailing by a touchdown with under a minute to play, driving toward the end zone. A Big Red defense on its heels. A senior making a big play. Another Cornell-Princeton game came down to the wire, with the Big Red ending the Tigers’ hopes for an undefeated season with a 14-7 victory at Schoellkopf Field. Cornell’s win over the 15th-ranked Tigers marked the second time this season the Big Red knocked off a ranked squad at home and the third time in the last two seasons. On the day Cornell honored fallen teammate Jaime McManamon ’07, who passed away during the spring of 2004, it was fitting that the defense he would have been leading made big plays all afternoon, including an interception by senior Matt Grant in the waning seconds to capture the victory. The defense forced three turnovers and posted three sacks in the win. Grant and Tim Bax each intercepted passes, while Ryan Blessing forced a fumble that was recovered by Doug Lempa. Jeff Dicks, wearing McManamon’s number 57 as the honorary captain, had three tackles, forced a fumble and had his first sack of the season, an 11-yard loss. Gus Krimm had a team-best nine tackles, while Michael Boyd added nine. The home team limited Princeton to just 69 yards at halftime. The Big Red offense pounded the ball on the ground, running 42 times for 129 yards, with Luke Siwula piling up 98 yards and scoring a touchdown to lead

Cornell rushed for 261 yards as a team and held off a late Dartmouth charge to claim a 28-25 win over Dartmouth at Schoellkopf Field. Sophomore quarterback Nathan Ford rushed for a careerhigh 80 yards and two touchdowns and also passed for a score as the Big Red evened its record at 4-4 (2-3 Ivy). Dartmouth slipped to 1-7 (1-4 Ivy) with the loss. Big Red quarterbacks combined for 171 yards rushing, as freshman backup Stephen Liuzza ran for 91 yards, including an electric 81-yard touchdown run, the longest by a quarterback in Big Red history. Ford’s 80 yards came on 16 carries, while he was also efficient passing at 7-of-10 for 96 yards. His one touchdown went to junior Luke Siwula, who carried 17 times for 67 yards. Gus Krimm had a team-best nine tackles, while Ryan Blessing made seven stops and had two of the team’s six sacks. The Big Green trailed 28-10 with 10:12 to play before scoring twice to get within a field goal. Milan Williams scored twice on the ground, including a 1-yard run with 4:46 to play to get Dartmouth within three. He ended the afternoon with 55 yards on 11 carries and scored twice. Mike Fritz added 298 yards in the air on 21-of-35 passing. His favorite target was Ryan Fuselier, who grabbed five passes for 96 yards and also caught a two-point conversion.

Schoellkopf Field
The script could not have been written more perfectly, as the 18 members of Cornell’s senior class were hoisted on the shoulders of their teammates and carried off to the home locker room to ring the Victory Bell. Few would have guessed the reason they were doing so would rest squarely on the shoulders of two wide-eyed freshmen. The Big Red football team evened its record at 5-5 and closed out its first five-win season at Schoellkopf Field (5-1) since Ed Marinaro’s magical 1971 campaign with a nail-biting 28-27 victory over Penn at Schoellkopf Field. Backup quarterback Stephen Liuzza played a majority of the contest after an injury to starter Nathan Ford sidelined the sophomore, and Liuzza took full advantage. The Slidell, La., native was 7-of-14 for 114 yards and ran for 22 yards, including an 8yard scoring run. Bryan Walters, who earlier in the afternoon broke a 58-year-old Cornell record for punt return yards in a season (274 yards) had an 88-yard kickoff return that proved to be the game winner, part of a 162 total return yards on the afternoon. Luke Siwula rushed for 52 yards on 21 carries, while Shane Kilcoyne had 26 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Anthony Jackson caught two passes for 81 yards, including a 74-yard strike in the fourth quarter to pace the offense. Ford gutted it out early and completed 4-of-7 passes for 46 yards and the team’s lone first-half touchdown, a 15-yard strike to Zac Canty. The Big Red defense limited Penn to 43 rushing yards on the afternoon and 27 yards of total offense in the first half. Tim Bax had a team-high 10 tackles.

For the second consecutive trip to New York City, Columbia dominated the first three quarters. This time, the Big Red couldn’t do enough in the fourth to capture the victory as the Lions earned a 21-14 victory over Cornell at Wien Stadium. The Big Red committed three costly turnovers. The first, by Adam Brekke off an errant pass by Nathan Ford, was returned 25 yards to put the Lions up 14-0 with just eight seconds remaining in the first quarter. The second pick resulted in Craig Hormann finding a wide open Jamal Russell for a 33-yard score down the left sideline that proved to be the game-winner with 4:12 left in the third quarter. The last came as Cornell was attempting to tie the game with a final scoring drive with under two minutes to play. Cornell outgained the Lions in total yardage (314-282) and posted over 200 yards rushing, but an inspired Columbia squad sent its seniors out with a victory in the team’s final home game of 2006. It also left Cornell winless on the road for the year (0-4), while posting a 4-1 record at home. Luke Siwula had 93 yards on 19 carries to lead the Big Red ground game, while Shane Kilcoyne added 78 yards on 14 carries and reached the end zone once. Michael Boyd had a team-high nine tackles, while Tim Bax posted seven stops. For Columbia, Jordan Davis notched 89 yards on 19 carries to pace the ground game for the Lions, but it was the efficiency of quarterback Craig Hormann

2007 Cornell Big Red Football
Cornell Football Timeline
Few collegiate football programs have the storied history of Cornell University. With 120 seasons of football in the books, the Big Red has collected five national titles, won 600 games and has had legendary players and coaches perform on historic Schoellkopf Field. Names such as Glenn “Pop” Warner and Heisman Trophy finalist and NCAA record-breaker Ed Marinaro have suited up for Cornell, while seven College Football Hall of Famers (including Warner, Gil Dobie and Carl Snavely) and multiple-time Super Bowl winner George Seifert have set the strategy as head coaches. Now, with Cornell alum Jim Knowles ‘87 leading the program, there’s little doubt that history will continue to be made.

1869 The first football game, an intramural contest featuring 40 players per side, occurs on campus. 1874 Cornell president Andrew D. White refuses to let Cornellians travel for a football game against Michigan in Cleveland because “I refuse to let 40 of our boys travel 400 miles merely to agitate a bag of wind.” 1887 Cornell relents, and the first intercollegiate game under modern rules is played against Union College on No. 12, 1887. Union wins the game 24-10 in the contest played where Day and Stimson halls stand today. 1888 Cornell picks up its first win in program history, topping Palmyra 26-0 in the season opener on Oct. 20 en route to a 4-2 record. 1892 Glenn (Pop) Warner ‘94 saw his first football game at Cornell, thinking it was “just a schoolboy scramble with a few bloody noses,” gave it a try, and went on to become the best known of the sport’s pioneering coaches. He caused more rule changes than all other coaches combined.

1897 Warner begins the first of his two coaching stints at Cornell, going 5-3-1 with wins over Syracuse and Penn State. He ended his Cornell career with a 36-13-3 record. 1901 Cornell wins a record 11 games, going 11-1 under first-year coach Ray Starbuck. Cornell outscores foes 324-38, dropping an 8-6 decision to Princeton in the eighth game of the year. It was the first points the Big Red had allowed all year.

History/Records
2006 YIR/Ivy League
The Playing Fields Schoellkopf Field has been an indelible mark of Cornell football since it opened in 1915 and this year will be the 92nd season at the home field. A gift from Willard Straight ‘01 and the family of Henry (Heinie) Schoellkopf ‘02 made the construction possible for the current stadium. The Big Red’s first year on the field was one of its best, going 9-0 and winning the national championship. In 1915, General Electric Company completed work on a flood searchlight system for the field, and in 1924 a construction project was completed to bring capacity from 9,000 to 21,500 by adding the famed Crescent. In 1947 that was increased to its current capacity of 25,597 and a press box was added. In 1971 a gift was made to put artificial turf on the field, and it has since been resurfaced three times, the latest in 1999. A new press box was built in 1986. Schoellkopf Memorial Hall, which houses the Big Red football offices, locker rooms and a tradition room, finished a renovation in 2006. Schoellkopf Field is the fourth-oldest Division I-AA stadium, opening in 1915. Only Penn’s Franklin Field (1895), Harvard Stadium (1903) and the Yale Bowl (1914) are older. Its capacity of 25,597 ranks as the eighth-largest stadium in Division I-AA. Tennessee State’s Coliseum seats 67,500 to lead all stadiums. The record crowd, when there were bleachers in the end zones and beneath the Crescent and west stands, was 35,300 for Michigan, Nov. 10, 1951. The playing area before World War I was Percy Field, alongside Fall Creek, the present site of Ithaca High School.

Jerome “Brud” Holland ‘39 The college football Hall of Famer is known for much more than being the first black football player at Cornell. A two-time first-team All-American at end, Holland scored 10 career touchdowns, and later watched as his son, Joe Holland ‘78, became one of the school’s all-time leading rushers. But it was his greatness as a statesman that earned him international fame.
1919 The Big Red plays its first of six games in seven years at the Polo Grounds against Dartmouth and Columbia, going 3-3.

The Trustees’ Cup
Since 1995, the winner of the Cornell-Penn football game has been awarded the Trustees’ Cup. Alumni from Penn and Cornell gathered at the New York Penn Club on Sept. 6, 1995 for the dedication of the Trustees’ Cup, which thereafter has been presented to the winner of the annual football game. The idea evolved from a series of discussions between officials and alumni of both universities, focusing on what would be the best way to honor one of college football’s most celebrated rivalries. The decision was made to establish an award to be presented at an annual luncheon, with the winning team taking the prize home and displaying it for a year.

1943 In the heart of World War II, travel restrictions limit options for a venue to play a contest against Dartmouth. They were unable to travel to each other as no rail line ran between Ithaca and Hanover. Instead, the two teams met in Boston and played at Fenway Park in the shadow of the “Green Monster.” The Big Green won 20-0.

Cornell overcame a 14-0 deficit in the first quarter to beat the powerful Buckeyes 23-14 in Columbus. The rumor of an invite to the Rose Bowl was quickly quelled by the Big Red administration, which did not want to further strain the players ‘ academic situations.

Cornell 23, Ohio State 14 (Oct. 28, 1939 at Columbus, Ohio) The powerful Big Ten champs jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the second quarter with 86- and 72-yard touchdown drives, but Cornell rallied, scoring the game’s final 23 points to claim the upset. Walter ‘Pop’ Scholl ‘41 ran for a 79-yard touchdown, passed for a 26-yard score to knot the game, then watched as Hal McCullough gave the Big Red the lead for good.

Cornell 32, Columbia 26 (Nov. 13, 2004 at New York, N.Y.) First-year head coach Jim Knowles ’87 preached all year to his players that they must believe in themselves. He saw the result of that belief in one of the most improbable comebacks in Cornell football history. The Big Red rallied from a 26-7 deficit with 9:33 to play for a 32-26 victory over Columbia. D.J.

Some of Cornell’s Greatest Games ...
Coaching/Staff
Arguably the greatest example of sportsmanship in the history of athletic competition, the Nov. 16, 1940 Cornell-Dartmouth game has become known as the “Fifth Down Game.” The Big Red, ranked No. 1 in the nation and riding an 18-game win streak, seemingly escaped Hanover, N.H., with a 7-3 victory against the underdog Big Green, scoring on a 6-yard touchdown pass by Walter Scholl on the game’s final play. After reviewing game film on Monday, Coach Carl Snavely and acting athletic director Robert J. Kane wired Dartmouth officials to tell them Cornell scored on an inadvertent fifth down, as referee Red Friesell had lost track of the downs. After Snavely called a team meeting later that day, he let the players make the decision on how to handle the situation. Led by captain Walt Matuszak, Cornell voted to forfeit the contest. Though there were no rules compelling the outcome to be changed, in an unprecedented act of sportsmanship, the Big Red relinquished claims to the win. The Big Green accepted the forfeit and the 3-0 victory. It remains the only time a collegiate sporting contest has been decided off the field after the completion of a game.

Cornell Football Legends Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner • Gridiron’s Greatest Strategist
Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner was a colorful individual during his playing days at Cornell and then during an illustrious, uninterrupted 45-year coaching career. Warner was born in Springville, N.Y., on April 5, 1871, only two days after the first college football game between Princeton and Rutgers. Not only was he one of Cornell’s outstanding football players, but he also excelled in track and field, and was its heavyweight boxing champion in 1893. Upon graduation from Cornell Law School in 1895, Warner began his coaching career at Georgia. He returned to his alma mater for the 1897-98 seasons, then went to Carlisle from 1899-1903. “Pop” came back to Ithaca for a second stint coaching the Big Red from 1904-06, before heading back to Carlisle, where he coached legendary Jim Thorpe. After leaving Carlisle in 1914, Warner later coached at Pittsburgh (1915-23), Stanford (1924-32) and Temple (1933-38). At the age of 67, he returned to his permanent residence of Palo Alto, Calif., and served as an advisory coach at San Jose State from 1939-40. After coaching 44 All-Americans and introducing so many of the football practices that we still use today, Warner returned to his oil and water paints, and to his work bench. His imaginative mind produced the screen pass, the rolling block, the naked reverse, series plays and the unbalanced line. He also introduced the numbering of players, huddle, wearing of headgear, spiral punt and the blocking dummy. Warner was the only coach ever to actually invent a system of offense. “Pop” died on Sept. 7, 1954, at age 83, 25 years after founding the Pop Warner Youth Football League, which is still a mainstay for nearly all young football players. Thirty-nine years after his death, Warner passed the late Amos Alonzo Stagg and became the second winningest coach in major college football. In 1993, Warner was credited by the NCAA with six more victories, increasing his total to 319, with Stagg having 314. His overall 44-year coaching record was 319-106-29. On July 25, 1997, the U.S. Postal Service issued four stamps commemorating Warner, Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers, George Halas of the Chicago Bears and Paul “Bear” Bryant of the University of Alabama.
Pete Gogolak • Just For Kicks
A football innovator, Pete Gogolak introduced soccer-style kicking to American football. He was the first player to kick soccer-style in the college and professional ranks. While at Cornell, Gogolak set a major college record by connecting on 44 consecutive kick conversions from 1961 to 1963 and still holds the Cornell record for consecutive conversions and career conversion percentage (.982, 54-of-55). His 50-yard field goal vs. Lehigh in 1963 was the nation’s longest in a major college game. He booted nine career field goals, including eight of 40 yards or more. After Cornell, Gogolak signed with the Buffalo Bills after being drafted in the 12th round of the AFL Draft. He played two seasons with the Bills, including kicking for the 1965 AFL champion team. He was named kicker of the AFL all-pro team and in 1984, was named to the Silver Anniversary all-time team. After playing out his option with Buffalo, Gogolak signed with the New York Giants and played 10 seasons, becoming the franchise’s all-time leading scorer and kicking the longest field goal in team history (54 yards). As of 2006, he is still the leading scorer in Giants history. Gogolak’s family came to the United States from Hungary in 1956. His brother, Charlie, is the all-time top place-kicker in the history of Princeton football. The family’s story was featured in Life Magazine in 1963.

Gary Wood • The No. 1 Option
In a game where quarterbacks beat teams with their arms and their legs, Gary Wood was a pioneer. Wood remains one of the great all-around players in Ivy League history more than 40 years after he last dressed for the Big Red. A three-time AP All-Ivy first-team and two-time Coaches All-Ivy first-team pick, Wood was named to the AP’s All-East squad as a senior. He set Ivy League records for career total offense (3,457 yards) and rushing (2,156 yards) as well as single-season total offense (1,612 yards in 1962) and rushing (813 yards in ‘62). He also held the record for total offense in a game (387 yards vs. Penn, 1962). An explosive player, Wood scored on plays of 40 yards or more six times in his three seasons, including an 89-yard kickoff return and an 80-yard run in 1963. He was named one of four “Most Spectacular Players” of the 1962 season and was named national “Back of the Week” by the AP and Sports Illustrated for his 1962 performance in a win over Princeton. He remains the only player in Ivy League history to rush for 2,000 yards and pass for 1,000 more. That doesn’t even take into account his 1,326 yards on 50 returns (26.5 yard average). After graduating from Cornell, Wood joined the New York Giants. Standing just 5-11 and weighing 185 pounds, many said he was too small to play quarterback in the NFL. Wood proved his naysayers wrong, playing five years with the Giants and another with the New Orleans Saints. He later played with the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League.

From scrawny freshman to three-time All-Ivy selection, defensive end Seth Payne ’96 remains the school’s career leader in sacks with 19 and has gone on to make a name for himself with the NFL’s Houston Texans. As a member of the Big Red, Payne was named first-team All-Ivy as a senior after leading the team with a careerbest nine sacks and ranking among the top five on the team in tackles with 84. During his career he earned the defense’s Big Play Award, Most Improved Player, the Sid Roth Award twice (designated for the team’s most valuable down lineman), and the Red Helmet Award for the outstanding varsity player on defense. The four-year letter winner capped off his career by being selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fourth round of the 1997 NFL Draft. After five productive seasons with the Jaguars, including 51 starts, Payne was selected by the Texans in the league’s expansion draft and made an immediate impact. He started all 16 games in 2002, leading the Texans defensive line with 147 tackles to rank third on the team. His only sack of the season was a safety late in the fourth quarter that led Houston to its first win in franchise history, a triumph over the storied Dallas Cowboys. Payne was voted by teammates as the recipient of NFL Player’s Association 2002 Unsung Hero Award, and was selected to USA Today’s 11th annual “All-Joe Team” as one of the most underrated players in the NFL who makes a difference with their work ethic and demeanor.

In his final season, Derrick won the Asa Bushnell Award as the Ivy League’s Player of the Year, after being named the league’s Sophomore of the Year in 1981. He became only the fourth person in the history of the league to go over 1,000 yards in one season when he ran for 1,056 markers in seven Ivy games in 1983. A two-time All-Ivy firstteam selection, Harmon rushed for 3,074 yards on 546 carries in three years and ranks third on Cornell’s all-time rushing list and in career rushes. He set the school’s single season record for yards per carry (5.9 in 1983) and the career record for yards per carry (5.6, 198183). During his three years, he had 14 games of over 100 yards rushing.

The beauty of Ithaca and the Cornell campus is unmatched. Ithaca is host to over 150 waterfalls, all of which lie within a 10-mile radius of downtown. Tompkins County is also home to three of the six gorge parks in New York state. Among the amazing sites is Taughannock Falls (above). At 215 feet high, Taughannock has a greater vertical drop than Niagara Falls. Below, Ithaca Falls is one of the more spectacular sights, located just minutes from the Cornell campus.

In the mid 1800s, two New York state senators, Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, shared the bold dream of founding a “truly great university.” Cornell, a plain-spoken inventor, wanted “an institution where any person can find instruction in any study,” including the mechanical arts and agriculture. White, a scholarly graduate of Oxford and Yale, yearned to establish a university where “truth shall be taught for truth’s sake” in the arts and sciences. Together they created a nonsectarian university that was the first in the eastern United States to admit women and that pioneered the concept of elective courses. Their egalitarian vision and innovative ideas, which set Cornell apart at its opening in 1868, continue to guide the university today. Cornell includes 13 colleges and schools. On the Ithaca campus are the seven undergraduate units—the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning; the College of Arts and Sciences; the College of Engineering; the School of Hotel Administration; the College of Human Ecology; and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations—as well as four graduate and professional units: the Graduate School, the Law School, the Johnson Graduate School of Management, and the College of Veterinary Medicine. (The Weill Medical College and the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences are in New York City.) An Ivy League university that is also the land grant institution of New York State, Cornell is a unique combination of public and private divisions committed to teaching, research, and public service. Cornell’s 13,700 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate and professional students come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Interdisciplinary study and research are
Cornell hallmarks, as is attention to undergraduate education. The university’s 2,200 faculty members are active teachers as well as researchers—Nobel laureates often conduct introductory courses— and the lines of traditional disciplines are easily crossed. Engineering students dabble in photography; theatre arts students explore the world of computers; physics majors learn landscape architecture. National Science Foundation studies on programs in research and development at U.S. universities consistently rank Cornell among the top 10 or 11 in total research and development expenditures, and in federally financed expenditures. Cornell ranks second among U.S. universities in funds allocated by the National Science Foundation for programs in academic science and engineering. Cornell has five national research centers: the Center for High Energy Synchrotron Studies, the Floyd R. Newman Laboratory of Nuclear Studies, the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (which operates the world’s largest radio-radar telescope, in

Cornell may be a cutting-edge research university, but that doesn’t mean undergraduate education is an afterthought. A Cornell undergrad could spend the morning in a meeting with a professor for an independent study and the afternoon in large survey courses like psych 101. Students here work hard. Besides attending classes, there’s reading, writing, and research, not to mention preparing for exams. But students still find time to build friendships, volunteer off campus, hold part-time jobs and play sports. And while some students spend their four years close to campus, many go farther afield. They study natural medicinals in South America, marine biology off the coast of Maine, and public policy in Albany, N.Y. In addition to university-run programs in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Rome, Italy, Cornellians travel to sites around the world, polishing their language skills and broadening their horizons.

Arecibo, Puerto Rico), the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility, and the National Science and Technology Center for Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization. The university also has four national resource centers: the Latin American Studies Program, the East Asia Program, the South Asia Program, and the Southeast Asia Program. Cornell University Library’s 17 Ithaca-campus units provide an array of reference, information, and instructional services. At the southeast edge of the Arts Quad, Olin and Kroch libraries house the largest concentration of resources in the humanities, social sciences, and area studies, including extensive Asia collections, and rare books, manuscripts, and archival materials. Mann Library, on the Ag Quad, has materials in agriculture, biology, biotechnology, and related fields. Other libraries specialize in African and African American studies, engineering, entomology, the fine arts, hotel management, industrial and labor relations, law, management, mathematics, music, the physical sciences, and veterinary medicine. Famed for its woodlands, gorges, and waterfalls, the 745-acre main campus is on a hilltop overlooking Ithaca, a lively city of about 30,000 situated at the southern end of 44-mile-long Cayuga Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of New York state. Campus attractions of special interest include the Johnson Museum of Art, the Cornell Plantations, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Sapsucker Woods wildlife sanctuary. The heart of New York state’s wine-growing region is less than an hour away, as are the Corning Glass Center and Museum and the Watkins Glen auto circuit. New York City is about a four-hour drive from Ithaca.

At a research institution, scholars don’t just acquire knowledge — they help create it. Cornell’s faculty members have garnered such prizes as the Nobel and the Pulitzer, not to mention MacArthur “genius” grants and countless other honors. These same luminaries teach undergraduate classes and include students on their research teams. Cornell serves as a land grant institution, receiving funding from New York State for its colleges of Human Ecology, Agriculture and Life Sciences and Veterinary Medicine and for its School of Industrial and Labor Relations. In return, the university offers reduced tuition to state residents in those colleges and helps citizens apply the research generated here to improve the state’s economy and the health of its people. A network of more than 200,000 alumni around the world supports the efforts of current students by sponsoring internships, offering career counseling and mentorship, and providing much of the financial support that maintains the university’s world-class libraries, laboratories, and faculty. Four thousand courses offered by nearly 100 departments, more interdisciplinary programs than you’ll find at any other university in the country, research opportunities for undergraduates in nearly every field, and faculty-guided independent study give you the wherewithal to shape a program that speaks to your interests and passions and grows with you over your four years here.

TOM HOWLEY 13th Year at Cornell Assistant Director of Athletics for Athlete Performance Tom Howley has been the strength and conditioning coach at Cornell since July 1995. In that role, he oversees the design and implementation of athletic performance programs for Cornell’s 36 varsity sports. The comprehensive, year-round programs include strength and power development, mobility skill training and conditioning, and are implemented in a motivating, team-oriented environment. Prior to his arrival at Cornell, Howley was the assistant director of strength and conditioning at East Carolina University from 1991-1995. During these seasons, the Pirates participated in two bowl games (1992 Peach Bowl and 1995 Liberty Bowl), qualified for the NCAA baseball regional tournament (1994) and played in the NCAA basketball tournament (1993). Howley was a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Auburn University from 1989-91, where he earned his master’s degree in exercise physiology. The Tigers were the 1989 Southeastern Conference co-champions, the 1990 Hall of Fame Bowl and the 1991 Peach Bowl champions. Howley also served as an assistant coach with the special teams. A 1988 graduate of Tulane, Howley earned a bachelor of arts degree in history and was a three-year letterman and two year starting offensive lineman on the football team. The Green Wave played in the 1987 Independence Bowl his senior year. He was the recipient of the New Orleans Quarterback Club Student-Athlete Award as a senior. Howley is an active participant in the Cornell University/Ithaca College chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He and his wife, Amanda, reside in Ithaca with their daughter, Anna Corrine.

Champions are crowned during the season, but championships are earned long before competition begins. Cornell’s 900 varsity athletes have exclusive access to one of the newest and best training facilities in the nation—the 8,000-squarefoot Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center. Completed in June 1997, this impressive $2 million addition to Bartels Hall reflects the university’s strong commitment to athletic excellence. Coaches and team members alike credit the center, its world-class equipment, and first-rate staff with adding immensely to the success of the Big Red athletic program. The Friedman Center contains freeweight, selectorized, plyometric, and cardiovascular equipment and has been designed to meet the diverse training needs of Cornell’s athletes. The center can accommodate up to 100 users at a time without compromising safety or function. Its unique features include air-conditioning, a 175-watt stereo system, and damage-resistant flooring. Cornell’s varsity strength and conditioning program—nicknamed “Big Red Power”—focuses on enhancing performance and preventing injury. The new facility and equipment enable the staff to prescribe year-round sport-specific programs with variety and precision. Before the training programs are designed, the muscular and metabolic needs for each sport—and for each position within the sport—are analyzed. Athletes are then assessed to identify their individual strengths and weaknesses, and follow-up assessments are conducted at regular intervals. Comprehensive workouts are prescribed to address deficiencies and promote the development of skills used during competition. Injury prevention also is emphasized. Through resistance training, the number and the severity of injuries are reduced. If an injury does occur, the strength and conditioning staff works closely with the sports medicine staff to ensure a safe and complete rehabilitation. The objective is to allow the athlete to resume full participation as soon as possible.

Athletic training at Cornell University is dedicated to providing all student-athletes in the department with the highest level of health care. The care given by the Big Red training staff goes well beyond the daily medical concerns that every Division I program has regarding injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. The total health care of the individual is the goal of the Cornell program.

CHRIS WLOSINSKI Ninth Year at Cornell The Andrew ‘78 & Margaret Paul Assistant Director of Athletics for Student Services and Compliance Chris Wlosinski took over the role of the Andrew ‘78 and Margaret Paul Director of Student-Athlete Support Services in August 2001 and was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director for Student Services and Compliance in March 2005. In her position, she has assumed a dedicated role focused on student-athlete support and compliance with NCAA and Ivy League rules. Cornell and its counterparts embrace a philosophy that includes the notion that student-athletes should experience a mainstream collegiate life, but the university also recognized the extra demands placed on this special population. In August of 1998, the position, the first of its kind in the Ivy League, was created, a role that asks Wlosinski to work as an available and reliable adviser who understands the lifestyle student-athletes lead and assists them in balancing their academic, athletic and personal challenges. In this capacity she also serves as a liaison with the colleges and directs student-athletes to appropriate campus-wide resources for academic and personal needs. When Wlosinski first joined the Big Red program, she worked collaboratively with the director of student-athlete support services, coaches and administrators to provide counseling and academic support services serving 36 varsity sports. She developed and maintained personal contacts with ad-

ministrators and professors throughout Cornell’s seven colleges, and she assisted the director in monitoring the academic progress of student-athletes. Most of Wlosinski’s time is devoted to personal meetings with student-athletes, and while the bulk of her work focuses on freshmen, sophomores and transfer students, she does assist athletes from all classes and across all colleges at Cornell. Wlosinski came to Cornell in August 1999 and worked in compliance, student services and event management. In June 2000, she accepted the position of associate director of alumni affairs and development for athletics where she served until assuming her current position. Prior to joining the Cornell staff, Wlosinski spent a year each as an athletics administrative intern at Bates College and Plymouth State College. She also served as a special education teacher for the learning disabled for seven years in Lancaster, Pa. Wlosinski graduated from Millersville University in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in special education and from Plymouth State College in 1999 with a master’s degree in education.

Schoellkopf Field has undergone many great changes, resulting in today’s magnificent structure. During the 19th century, many of Cornell’s athletic teams trained on Percy Field where Ithaca High School now stands. During the early 1900s, though, Cornell’s population grew quickly and Percy Field was no longer suitable for the growing number of Cornell athletes. Gradually, the idea of having adequate athletic facilities on campus developed. The Alumni Field Committee was created to consider this possibility and they persuaded the university set aside land for a field. The committee“strove, pled, and prayed” for donations to the proposed athletic facilities. Because of a generous donation from Willard Straight ’01, the construction of a field house was made possible.

The Ivy League The Ivy League is truly one of a kind. While the 2006-07 academic year marked the 50th season of official Ivy League athletic competition, the rivalries and traditions in the League go so much deeper. The first official athletic competition between League schools was more than 150 years ago (1852, Harvard-Yale rowing) and the first football game was more than 130 years ago (1872, Columbia-Yale). In the early days, the Ivy schools dominated college athletics. All-America status, Olympic medals and national championships were routinely earned by students from the Ancient Eight. Today, Ivy Leaguers continue to claim national titles and Olympic medals — as well as All-America and Academic All-America status. Hundreds continue athletic careers as professionals and hundreds more as coaches and athletic administrators. The student-athletes also are among the nation’s leading public servants, doctors, journalists, lawyers, scientists, scholars, business leaders, entertainers, educators and so much more. The success of the League comes without athletic scholarships while maintaining self-imposed high academic standards. The Ivy League has demonstrated a rare willingness and ability, given the pressures on intercollegiate success throughout the nation, to abide by these rules and still compete successfully in Division I athletics. Sponsoring conference championships in 33 men’s and women’s sports, and averaging more than 35 varsity teams at each school, the Ivy League provides intercollegiate athletic opportunities for more men and women than any other conference in the country. All eight Ivy schools are among the “top 20” of NCAA Division I schools in number of sports offered for both men and women. The term “Ivy colleges” was first in October, 1933 by Stanley Woodward of the New York Herald Tribune to describe the eight current Ivy schools (plus Army). On Feb. 8, 1935, Associated Press sports editor Alan Gould first used the exact term “Ivy League.” The first “Ivy Group Agreement,” signed in 1945, applied only to football. It affirmed the observance of common practices in academic standards and eligibility requirements and the administration of need-based financial aid, with no athletic scholarships. The agreement created the Presidents Policy Committee, including the eight Presidents; the Coordination and Eligibility Committee, made up of one senior non-athletic administrator from each school; and the committee on Administration, comprised of the eight directors of athletics. The Ivy Presidents extended the Ivy Group Agreement to all intercollegiate sports in February 1954. Their statement also focused on presidential governance of the League, the importance of intra-League competition, and a desire that recruited athletes be academically ‘representative’ of each institution1s overall student body. Although that is the League1s offi cial founding date, the first year of competition was 1956-57. The Ivy League office is housed in Princeton, N.J., under the leadership of Executive Director Jeffrey H. Orleans, who has been at that post since 1984.

Prominent Cornell Alumni
To be a Cornellian is to be among the best and Cornell University’s intercollegiate athletic program is no different, ranking among the nation’s elite. The Big Red competes at the highest level of intercollegiate athletic competition as an NCAA Division I institution. Rich tradition and history follow Cornell athletics throughout the university’s storied past. Cornellians have been national champions in ice hockey, lacrosse, polo, rowing, track and field and wrestling. They have also earned spots in halls of fame, on All-America teams, on the Olympic medal podium and have written their names in record books as Wimbledon tennis champions and major league players in baseball, basketball, football and hockey. More recently, Cornell has won 37 Ivy League titles in the last five years, including six during the 200607 season. That is only part of the equation. Over that same span, the Big Red has had 16 student-athletes named Academic All-Americans.
2006 YIR/Ivy League
The senior class of 2006 combined for a record 31 Ivy titles in their four seasons, continuing the program’s storied success in athletics.

DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics and Physical Education strives to provide students with powerful and meaningful participatory experiences that forge enduring bonds with Cornell, and to provide for the well-being of members of the faculty, staff, and community. We offer a diverse program of physical and outdoor education, recreational services, and intercollegiate athletic competition, equitably adminstered with special attention to the needs of women and members of under-represented minority groups. We foster the values of physical fitness, total well-being, and enduring participation in athletics; teach leadership skills, teamwork, responsibility, and accountability; and administer programs that can be critical to the educational and personal development of students in keeping with the high standards of Cornell, the Ivy League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The department promotes pride and unity within the university community and provides opportunities to develop, strengthen and maintain ties to external audiences such as alumni, friends, the educational community, and the general public by attracting interest, recognition and support.
