Remarkable College Football Games: 1940 Cornell - Dartmouth: An Extreme Act of Sportsmanship

I am in process of building another web site for the Hardcore College Football History channel videos.

In the meantime, they’ll still get published here. I don’t think they’re getting much traction on CN. Ha!

Summary:

The 1940 Cornell-Dartmouth football game is notable for being perhaps the only college football game whose outcome was changed after it had ended due to an official’s admission of a mistake. Initially, Cornell won the game 7-3, maintaining their win streak and ranking, despite Dartmouth’s contention that Cornell’s winning touchdown was scored on an unauthorized fifth down.
