Dartmouth, Cornell, Yale Should Win Ivy Games

Although Cornell has the better balanced attack, both teams have outstanding passers. Penn's Creeden, last week's "Ivy Back of the Week," has completed 31 of 54 passes for 402 yards and three touchdowns. Cornell's Bill Abel has connected on 17 of 30 tosses for 235 yards.

Penn is off to its best start in years, but Cornell should continue to roll, something like 28-13.

Yale Should Romp

Yale, after a frustrating 17-14 loss to Rutgers, will be gunning for a punchless Brown today, and the Bruins should take to the hills. The Elis will be without star quarterback Brian Dowling, who suffered a torn knee ligament last week, but that doesn't matter: Brown last week lost both of its top quarterbacks, Jack McMahon and Wynn Jessup.

Today Pete Doherty will quarterback the Elis, and Mike Maznicki will call signals for the Bruins.

Yale, on the basis of a vastly superior defense and the powerful running of sophomore fullback Calvin Hill (220 lbs.), should romp over Brown by about 24-0, unless the Elis fumble 10 times again this week, and then the margin of victory would be by about one touchdown less.

Harvard, 17-13

And don't forget the Harvard-Columbia fray. For sentimental reasons at best, Harvard should get the edge, 17-13.
