Cornell University Athletics

One of Cornell’s great football halfbacks, he was named to the All-America first team in 1921 and 1922, leading the Big Red to two undefeated, untied seasons and was declared the national champion both years.  During his three seasons, Cornell compiled a record of 22-2, with 8-0 campaigns in 1921 and ’22.  Kaw was the leading scorer in the East in 1921, including five of Cornell’s six touchdowns in a 41-0 victory over Penn.  In addition to being a great ball carrier, he handled most of the punting chores and was solid on defense, as a single safety or at left halfback.  He was captain of the 1922 team.  In addition to his exploits on the gridiron, Kaw was also an outstanding baseball player, earning varsity letters in 1921 and ’22.  He was inducted into the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 1956.
