Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3102271, member: 27"] This is some of the earliest film I have seen of a Syracuse team playing. Very good quality and get this, it is in color. If you are curious how football was played 90 years ago, check it out. The year is 1939. The opponent is Cornell. The game is at Schollkopf. Cornell would end up winning 19-6, and claims a national championship for that year. They definitely had the better players. The year before, these teams played one of the most famous games in Syracuse history, where a Rose Bowl bound Cornell team was stunned by a late comeback led by the stellar passing of Wilmeth Sadat-Singh, Syracuse’s first African American quarterback. Singh graduated and was not on the team any longer in 1939. The biggest star on the team was probably co-captain Duffy Daugherty. Yes, future hall of fame HC Duffy Daugherty.
