CORNELL at HARVARD--Before this year, the Big Red had won just four of its last 30 games. In three games this year, Bob Blackman's squad has already won half that many. The total should stay the same today. Besides Harvard center, Dave Scheper, said he's beat me up if I picked Cornell. Harvard 16, Cornell 14.

YALE at DARTMOUTH--Big Green, big spleen. Yale has the best team in the Ivy League this year, and that's that. And besides, Yale end John Spagnola lives right near me at home and he said he'd beat me up at Thanksgiving if I picked Dartmouth. Yale 35, Dartmouth 16.

PENN at BROWN--A tough one to call between two offensive powerhouses. Penn has upset the Bruins in this game the last two years, but, somehow, I just don't see Brown being eliminated from the Ivy race this early in the year. And besides, I'm SURE there's somebody in downtown Providence who would beat me up if I picked Penn. Uh-huh. Brown 28, Penn 27.

PRINCETON at COLUMBIA--In its first three games, highly-touted Princeton has shown itself to have a slow quarterback, a sloppy veer offense and a porous defense. Then again, every year Columbia seems to be turning the corner, then they fool you and go 2-7. This time the Lions are for real. My brother went to Princeton and told me he'd beat me up if I picked Columbia, but my brother I can handle. Columbia 20, Princeton 17.

LAST WEEK: 6-0

SEASON: 11-7 (.611)

And if that dips below .600 you can blame the Jos. S. Schlitz and Sons Brewing Co.
