Above, a program and scorecard from a 1918 game between Cornell and the University of Rochester at Rochester, NY. Below, some news and notes for Wednesday...
- Above, last night Cornell's Shonn Miller was presented the Defensive Player of the Year award of the Cleveland AmPro Summer League. The league is loaded with dozens of collegiate players.
- When Louis Dale (Cornell '10) suffered a season ending ACL injury last November in Germany's BBL, his club Goettingen struggled the entire season finishing with a 4-30 record and last place league finish. Goettingen's final record results in the club's relegation to a lower division, Germany's Pro A. Dale could be on the move as well to a new club.
Above, A Date in Cornell Basketball History, former Cornell head basketball coach, "Speed" Wilson is presented the 1944-1945 Allie Seelbach Memorial Trophy which for a decade during the mid 1940s and mid 1950s annually recognized the most outstanding college basketball team of Upstate New York. Five teams were eligible for the award--- Cornell, Syracuse, Colgate, Niagara and Canisius. The silver trophy was presented each year by Madison Square Garden and the college athletic directors in memory of Allie Seelbach who was a coach at Canisius College for eleven years until his death in 1944. Cornell would win the award again for the 1949-1950 season. Cornell would later win the Ivy League's (EIBL) 1954 title and trip to the NCAA Tournament.
