Aside from the Harvard-Cornell game last Saturday, it was a pretty boring weekend in the Ivy League.
Dartmouth scored the first three times it had the ball and went on to smash Brown, 42-14. The Indians are so well-balanced this year that none of the starters have had a chance to pile up impressive individual statistics. The second string comes in at halftime.
Dartmouth will be a heavy favorite against Harvard this Saturday in the Stadium. If the Indians have any weakness, they haven't shown it.
Columbia discovered that it wasn't quite the team it hoped it was last Saturday in New Haven, and if the Lions aren't all that good, how good is Harvard?
The Yale defense, ranked number one in the nation, stopped Columbia's Dou Jackson. Jackson, who looked spectacular beating Harvard, had a hard time completing a pass against the Elis as Columbia lost 32-15.
Harvard will get a better idea of where it stands in comparison to Yale when the Elis face Cornell this Saturday in a contest between the number one defense in the country and the number one rusher in the country.
After losing to Dartmouth 38-0 two weeks ago, Princeton came back last Saturday to take out its frustration on Colgate. The Tigers rushed for almost 400 yards as they won, 34-14.
Princeton will have two games against Brown and Penn to finish regaining their confidence before they take on Harvard.
Doubleheader
Almost 6000 fans poured into Penn's 60,000-seat stadium to watch the Quakers scrape by Lafayette 31-20 in the first game of the first intercollegiate football doubleheader.
Dartmouth feeds the Ivies in total offense and total defense. The Indians are averaging 437 yards a game, while their opponents are averaging only 197.5. Harvard is sixth in total offense and fourth in total defense.
Columbia's Jackson is the top passer in the league as well as the leader in total offense. The Crimson's Rod Foster is seventh in passing and total offense.
