Perhaps this is [Chandler]. There were not any players named "Chanler" for either Cornell or Brown. Theodore Chandler, Class of 1915, played Full Back (Number 22) for Brown University football, in this game against Cornell University, October 24, 1914, at the Polo Grounds (Brush Stadium) in New York. Cornell stomped defeated Brown 28 - 7. — [1] [2]

Pixel Wrangler: It does seem possible that this is Chandler. We'll include this information next time we update the description.
