Answer to Boring Quiz in Rhyme: Bob Bateman, in his dreams.

**********

A plea of temporary insanity is entered for last week's picks. With an eye for improvement, here are this week's selections.

PRINCETON-COLUMBIA: Word has it that Columbia has a good defense this year, but in this case defense won't win many ball games. It is doubtful that the Columbia offense will even score against what might be a very good Princeton team. Princeton 17, Columbia 0.

CORNELL-BUCKNELL: Bucknell was on the wrong end of a 47-3 score two weeks ago against Rutgers, and things will not go much better today. Don Fanelli and Neal Hall (103 and 152 rushing yards respectively against Colgate last week) should go wild today. Cornell 42, Bucknell 7.

DARTMOUGH-HOLY CROSS: Holy Cross looked like a pretty weak bunch last Saturday, so the Big Green from Hanover should be able to back into a victory here. Dartmouth 14, Holy Cross 10.

YALE-COLGATE: Colgate has an undefeated season going, something the squad should be able to enjoy for another few hours or so. Yale is, sadly enough, strong once again this season. Yale 27, Colgate 17.

PENN-BROWN: If the Bruins aren't careful today, they're in for an early season upset at the hands of potentially good Quaker team. The Pennsylvanians led Lehigh, 23-13, in the fourth period of last week's losing effort, with the mighty Jack Wixted doing almost all the offensive work. Close, but not close enough for the Quakers. Brown 23, Penn 16.

HARVARD-BOSTON UNIVERSITY: If Harvard's defensive secondary is as strong as it should be, then there will be no problem today. But if things get out of hand, the consequences will be something bordering on embarrassment. Here's to a calm and prudent football game. Harvard 30, B.U.21
