Only two of the nation's better-known prognosticators picked Pennsylvania's stunning upset of Princeton last weekend: The Farmer's Almanacand the sports editor of the Harvard CRIMSON.

I'm not, as you all known, one to crow unduly about my successes, but those who have abused me over the past five weeks, well, I hope they're all suitably chagrined.

We've hit the stretch run of the Ivy League campaign and today that same Pennsylvania team, which performed as I anticipated last week, visits our Stadium. The clash of these two undefeated teams dominates the New England and Ivy League schedule and has attracted attention around the country.

But the other six Ivy teams are engaged in intra-league scraps, too, and a couple of them could have a bearing on the title race:

Dartmouth vs. Yale

Yale has to be a heavy favorite in the Bowl. Brian Dowling and a stout defense have staked the Elis to the nation's longest winning streak--13 games--and Dartmouth was unimpressive here last week.

Every week from now on, Harvard softens up an opponent and then ships it into Yale's hands. Which is good for the Blues. A score? Oh, 29-12. Yale will be just a little careless.

Columbia vs. Cornell

This game could be played in Low Library and it wouldn't help the Marty Domres-led Lions. Cornell's Big Red has dropped successive games (in the pattern just discussed) to Harvard and Yale and must be burning for revenge.

Unfortunately, the Big Red hasn't scored more than 17 points in a game yet. Then again, Columbia hasn't had much luck holding opponents to such a small output. Cornell 24, Columbia 3.

Princeton vs. Brown

There are certain pitfalls in this predicting business. As you know, I come from Providence and grew up in the shadow of Brown Stadium, so I know that Brown never wins. For kicks I picked them over Dartmouth two weeks ago. Last Saturday I got serious, saw they were playing Colgate--which had just beaten Princeton, which had beaten Dartmouth, which had bombed the Bruins, 48-0.

Colgate, easily, I said. Brown won. Well, today I'll do it again. In one of the year's big upsets, sophomore star Brian Marini and fullback Steve Wormith will drop the Tigers, 14-7.

Harvard vs. Pennsylvania

Two of the country's best defenses, statistically, bang heads at 1:30 p.m., and the harder-hitter will be in good shape to challenge Yale for Ivy honors. Harvard has had all sorts of trouble getting the ball into the end zone so far, and there has been a surprising lack of coordination between center and spotter on conversions.

Penn, by all reports, has a grinding offense like Harvard's and has victories over Cornell and Princeton, two early season contenders, to its credit.

My gut reaction favors Penn, because they're the Jim Thorpe and Carlisle of 1968. But my wisdom and long experience at this sort of thing tells me to go with the home team. 17-15 sounds good, but 20-13 is more accurate.
