Cornell History: “Fifth Down Game” November 16, 1940 The Big Red football team plays the famous “Fifth Down Game” against Dartmouth. Although Cornell was declared the winner, 7-3, review of the game tapes by both teams the next day revealed that the final touchdown occurred on an unfair fifth down.
