    Al Sharpe, coach of the Cornell University 'Varsity 11, in this game against Brown University, October 24, 1914, at the Polo Grounds (Brush Stadium) in New York. Cornell defeated Brown 28-7. "Dr. Albert Hayes Sharpe (1877–1966) was an All-American football player, coach and athletic director and medical doctor. He played football for Yale University and was selected as a halfback for the 1899 College Football All-America Team. Sharpe was also a star basketball player in the early years of the college game. Sharpe also excelled in baseball, gymnastics, rowing and track. In 1915, Sharpe was selected by one sporting expert as the greatest living athlete in the United States. He later served as a coach and administrator at Cornell University, Yale, the Ithaca School of Physical Education and Washington University in St. Louis." — Wikipedia
