Touchdown: The Story of the Cornell Bear chronicles the exploits of
the four live bears that served in succession as mascots for the
Big Red football team beginning with the legendary 1915 team
through the 1930s. These enterprising bears traveled on the team
train, stayed in hotels and rode the elevators, clubbed their
mascot counterparts, escaped into the Atlantic Ocean, spent time in
exile, cavorted in nightclubs, were kidnapped by rival fans, and
electrified the crowds at Schoellkopff field by ambling up and down
the goalposts. Written by alumnus John Foote in a humorous and
entertaining style that includes excerpts from the Cornell Daily
Sun, the book takes the reader back to the halcyon days of Cornell
football when enterprising students and alumni found creative ways
to keep the bears on the sidelines and in the imaginations of
students for generations to come. This must-read story captures the
essence of the Cornell spirit as these mischievous and at times
feisty creatures gave Cornellians the tradition of the Big Red
Bear.
