Bruins and Elis Continue Winning Ways

Ivy Round-Up

Quarterback Kevin Burns could not muster much of an aerial attack against the Leopards (2-for-6, 35 yards), but the powerful Lion ground game slogged out 249 yards on 64 carries.

There were literally dozens of fumbles caused by Saturday's East coast storm-front, but only one concerned Princeton's surprisingly tough squad (0-1, 0-2), which lost to powerhouse Rutgers, 10-6, in college football's oldest rivalry. Tiger fullback Gary Larson coughed up the ball on the Scarlet Knights' 17-yard line with just 25 seconds left in the game, ending Princeton's hopes for a major early-season upset.

The defeat was the 12th straight in Palmer Stadium for the Tigers, and the seventh straight overall, but there were some good signs. The defense has proved stingy, running back Bobby Isom has been dancing past opposing defenses, and placekicker Chris Howe can boot with the best of them. But for now, the record is 0-2.

Cornell (0-1, 0-2) put up another good fight against a highly rated squad, with similar results. The Big Red punched out 375 total yards against Colgate, but the Red Raiders outslugged 'em with 468 big ones. Colgate 28, Cornell 22.

Penn (1-0, 1-1) rounded out the Ivy slate with an uninspiring 19-7 loss to Lehigh at Bethlehem, Pa. Penn's wishbone offense failed to put any points on the board until the fourth quarter.
