After last Saturday's Crimson victory over Cornell, coach John Yovicsin looked at the scores from other Ivy games posted on the blackboard in the locker room and frowned. "This is going to be a good year for ulcers," he said worriedly.

One score in particular caught Yovicsin's eye: Princeton 34, Penn O. Penn was supposed to have a much-improved ball team and the Tigers reportedly lacked bite this year. But the ease of the Tiger triumph was an indication that Princeton might do more than encourage ulcers; it could also pull off some upsets. In fact, Yovicsin warned, the Tigers now seemed capable of upsetting their way to an Ivy title, given a little luck.

The verdict from Hanover was far from clear. Dartmouth had either met a Brown team of surprising vigor, or the Indians had suffered an off-day in beating the Bruins 14-7. The other possibility-that Dartmouth isn't really all that powerful this year-was considered, but temporarily dropped. "Dartmouth always has a good squad," said Yovicsin. "This year Brown does too."

Yale's remarkable 19-7 upset of Columbia in New Haven brought more frowns to Yovicsin's already clouded face. It also made it clear that today's contest between Cornell and the Elis should be a highly interesting game, next in importance only to this afternoon's Lion-hunting expedition in the Stadium.

The Yalie line did not really contain Columbia, but John Pont's offense managed to hold onto the ball most of the time even if it did not scintillate with brilliance. Whether or not it can cope with the more versatile Gary Wood is the question of the day in the Yale Bowl.

Wood and his mates did not have a really pleasant afternoon in Cambridge last week but their mistakes rather than incompetence helped cause the defeat. Had they not offered those nice scoring opportunities to Mike Bassett and company in the second quarter the whole Cornell effort might have been much better.

Tom Harp's teams have a tendency to be erratic, and it may well be that they are due for an afternoon of astounding yardage. Cornell in this one, may be.

Penn had its big chance for an upset last week. Now it's too late. The Brown Bears are finally a respectable football team, and this week Jim Dunda is scheduled to return. What with the Quakers still recovering from the Tiger fight and Dunda now trying to win his job back from constantly improving sophomore Rob Hall, Brown fans should have a perfectly delightful afternoon.

The co-bosses of the League at the present time, Princeton and Dartmouth, take a week off from the pressures of the flag chase to entertain non-Ivy League guests.

Bob Blackman has probably not worried too much about the possibility of losing to Holy Cross today. The Crusaders are not nearly as robust as the crew that overcame stiff Harvard resistance last year. Graduation and a truly tragic mauling by Syracuse have thinned the ranks.

Dartmouth, aside from a few advance worries about the annual trip to Cambridge, should enjoy the week-end immensely. The game is at home, giving fraternities an excellent excuse to hold parties, and the team will win, by two or three touchdowns.

Princeton has a more difficult assignment. Its opponent, Colgate, has an interesting past. It includes a tie with B.U., a romp over Rutgers, and a close squeeze past Cornell. The Red Raiders, therefore, should give the Tigers a fairly decent challenge and provide the League with more information on the state of Dick Colman's squad. Ivy League teams have done pretty well against outsiders this season; Princeton should improve the League's winning percentage.
