This coin is a copper cent, and is known among collectors as one of the "Fugio" coins. It was one of the earliest coins under the authority of the United States, being coined in the city of New York in 1787, and struck by means of a drop piece. It is also known as the "Franklin," "Sun-Dial" and "Mind Your Business" cent...
...Brickley '15, who is now coaching the Boston College team, was down on the field and paid a great deal of attention to the 1920 squad, showing them particularly how to drop-kick. He also coached them in kicking off and in line drives. Later he went into the Stadium and watched the University practice, but did not give the men any personal instruction...
...play is very thin, relying for its success on clever lines, some rather hasty characterization, a supply of aged "laugh-getters" in business, and the adept handling of a well-schooled cast. Miss Tempest's delightful sense of humor, and unfailing ability to squeeze every drop of comedy out of a situation or line livens much that would be otherwise drearily dull.

Cornell's star back, Shiverick, was injured early in the game and did not show his usual form. His punts were not as effective as were those of R. Horween '18 and his one attempt at a drop kick was a dismal failure. In the second period Cornell advanced from its 35-yard line by a series of rushes to the University's 25- yard line, from which spot Shiverick's hurried drop kick was almost blocked. Cornell's defense was by no means impregnable. Both teams showed ability to gain ground at one time or another through their opponent...
...unsuccessful forward pass went over the goal line for a touchback. A double exchange of kicks gave the Crimson the ball in the middle of the field and a second rush was begun, this time reaching Cornell's 15-yard line, at which spot W. F. Robinson '18 dropped back and placed a pretty drop kick directly between the goal posts. Both teams punted for the remainder of the period, but when C. A. Coolidge, Jr., '17 tackled Shiverick as he was catching one of Horween's punts, he fumbled, and W. H. Wheeler '18 recovered. This first break...
