Today's Ivy football menu offers an interesting main course of League games and two a la carte outside specials.

Aside from the Harvard-Columbia battle of co-champions in New York, the choicest League offering is at New Haven, where Yale entertains Cornell.

The Buildings have no intention of being gracious hosts as they are getting rather hungry for an Ivy victory. Brown tied the Yalies two weeks ago and last Saturday Columbia defeated them.

Navy Tops Cornell

Cornell had problems last week-end too, going down before Navy pressure in a 41-0 submerging. The Big Red still has an untarnished Ivy record, however, and considers itself a possible title contender. A Yale victory to go with its Harvard triumph would please the co-eds in Ithaca no end.

This is probably what will happen. Cornell's Gary Wood is better than anything Yale can produce, and should be too good to be contained buy the Bulldogs.

Randy Egloff of Yale is second in the League in rushing, but he may find it hard to pick up yards against Cornell's line. Don't let last week's Navy score give false impressions--Cornell actually was in the ball game for three quarters. Depth won it for the Middies.

BROWN FAVORED

Brown, badly shaken by Dartmouth (41-0), has life much easier this week as it takes a holiday in Philadelphia. Well, maybe not a real holiday, but the Bruins certainly should enjoy beating Pennsylvania.

Sophomore Jim Dunda is second in the League in total offense for Brown, and that is impressive. Penn can offer no one of similar achievement. The fact that Dean only lost by two touchdowns to Princeton might indicate the Quakers are better than normally though, but the Tigers played most of the game with second and third unit personnel.

Speaking of the Tigers, they should pick up some more lunch meat this afternoon when Colgate enters the Tiger's den. Colgate has been erratic, but even at its best it doesn't appear to be up to Princeton. The Tigers, with their many-splendored backfield, should be able to penetrate the Red Raiders end zone at will, and the Princeton line is capable of preventing any counter-raids.

Princeton's first string did not get much experience against Penn, and might very well spend most of today's game on the bench. This will keep them well-rested for the parties after the game, and at Princeton, these are supposed to do big things.

Undoubtedly the best game of the day with an Ivy team takes place in Hanover, where Holy Cross checks in. The Crusaders, as we all learned last Saturday, are a first class outfit. Dartmouth, as Brown discovered, has strength to spare.

Indian quarterback Bill King spent only 19 1/2 minutes on the field last week, but he did enough to win Ivy Back of the Week honors for the third time. In his short appearance King ran for three touchdowns, passed for another, and accounted for 130 yards in 16 plays.

Crusader Pat McCarthy had a similarly brilliant afternoon in Cambridge.

Both teams have beefy and superb Hans, and both have fast halfbacks. It is only an uncertain guess, but our pick is Holy Cross--by a point or two--in one helluva battle.
