<p>And here’s a quote from Yale Daily News about Woolsey’s foot (apparently, Yale crew never lost when Woolsey was present):</p>
<p>"The biggest surprise for many students was the realization that no one actually visits the statue of Theodore Dwight Woolsey for good luck, as they were told on their tours. </p>
<p>“I remember them telling me that lie about people rubbing that foot, but that’s totally not true. No one rubs the foot. It’s covered in bacteria.””</p>
