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.

Описание: BIG JIM HOLTON was a cult hero for Manchester United and Scotland during the heady early 1970s. Although he had the terrace anthem Six Foot Two, Eyes of Blue bestowed on him by fans of both club and country, his eyes were the deepest brown and it is debatable whether indeed he was even 6ft 2in.As Manchester United declined from the pinnacle of being European Champions in 1968, one of the few silver linings was provided by the no-nonsense Scot and his physical approach to the game. Dismissed by critics as a human grappling hook and a hammer thrower, his class eventually shone through and he played a key role in taking Scotland to the 1974 World Cup in West Germany, scoring in the decisive game against Czechoslovakia at a raucous Hampden Park. Cast off by West Brom as an apprentice, Jim was mentored by the great Harry Gregg at Shrewsbury Town, before he was catapulted into the big time when new Manchester United manager Tommy Docherty took him to Old Trafford in January 1973. Within two whirlwind months of his arrival, Jim had scored twice, been sent off twice, knocked Newcastles Supermac out cold, and earned his fi rst international cap. United were in a relegation dogfight, but Holton soon helped the club to beat the drop his combative displays earning him star status among the Stretford Enders. He also shone in a Scotland shirt during arguably their strongest ever era, alongside the likes of Denis Law, Kenny Dalglish, Billy Bremner and Peter Lorimer a depth of world class talent the country has not been able to call on since. In Germany the Scots were, as usual, unfortunate, going out at the group stage despite remaining unbeaten. Back home, Big Jim was soon back in action, but he failed to stop United from tumbling into the Second Division, a broken leg at Sheffield Wednesday cruelly cutting his season short. It would be his last ever game for United, as The Doc changed the teams shape on the way to United winning the Second Division championship and back-to-back FA Cup finals. After a spell in the NASL with Miami Toros, Jim returned to English football in 1976 first with Sunderland, then with Coventry City, where he became a crowd favourite once more, featuring in the clubs annual Houdini act as they escaped the drop in controversial circumstances at the end of that season. After nearly 100 games with the Sky Blues, Jim returned to America with Detroit Express and was selected to play for an All-Star team in Franz Beckenbauers fi nal competitive match. Upon retirement, Jim became a publican and, alongside wife Jan, they ran several successful pubs in the Coventry area. United supporters would regularly pay Jim a visit whenever the team were in town. Jim always kept himself fit, which made it all the more shocking when he died of a heart attack while out jogging in 1993. He was just 42 years old.

In other words. They would take no pains to conceal it from children of any age, because only those who un derstand it will become interested. And all possessing this degree of comprehension are liable to obtain erroneous and injurious information upon the same taplcs through inpure and corrupting channels. Though much care be exercised to pre vent it. This is a fact which a large correspondence with young people has impre-ed upon the mind of the author, and would commend the earnest attention of all parents and guardians. If they possessed the means of knowing what the writer does. I have received enough lamentations from the young of both sexes, resulting from their indiscretions. To fill these pages. And many of their letters do not hesitate to charge their parents with cruel neglect in keeping from them a knowledge of such vital importance. If this work is adjudged unsuitable. May be other works can be found that will answer the purpose, although I doubt if there is another book wherein the relations of all the organs of the system to each other. And those of the moral nature to the physical body. Are more faithfully traced. For the adult this work contains information which no man or woman can word to do without, when it may be obtained at a price so comparatively trifling.
