Yes, RPI did appear to "have Cornell's number", if anyone did, during what
is statistically the greatest protracted period of dominance in NCAA
history.  That Ned Harkness had won an NCAA title at RPI prior to winning
two at Cornell only fueled the rivalry.
 
Comparison of Cornell's record and result vs. RPI:
 
Year    Record  Result vs. RPI
-----   --------        ----------------
1967    27-1-1          W 7-2 at RPI
1968    27-2-0  W 8-1 Lynah
1969    27-2-0  L 3-4 at RPI
1970    29-0-0  W 8-1 Lynah
1971    1-1-0*          L 3-6 at RPI
 
* first 2 games of season.
 
So, over a period of 118 games, Cornell was 111-6-1:
 
3-2-0 vs RPI
108-4-1 vs the rest of the NCAA
 
Other non-wins:
1967: L 3-4 Yale at Lynah
1967: T 3-3 vs. BU Boston Arena Christmas Tourny
1968: L 3-6 at Brown
1968: L 1-3 vs. North Dakota in NCAA SF
