Old Cornell Football Story

[jkahn]

I was googling "Nov. 28 Cornell" to see if Cornell might be on North Dakota's hockey schedule for that date in 2009, as rumored on another thread.  I instead found this great football story from 1891.

"Tin horns and whistles were frozen, but the Cornell yell was a hair-raiser."

I would love to know what the Cornell yell actually sounded like back in the day. I wrote a little bit about it last year, but still have yet to actually get a sense for what the cheer would actually sound like.
