COLUMBIA at YALE--This would be today's upset pick, except for one thing--Princeton over Colgate is this week's upset pick. And, besides, Yale losing three straight would be like an Elsie burger without Russian dressing--hard to stomach. Put this in your pipe and smoke it, Cal Moffie: Yale 48, Columbia 10.
COLGATE at PRINCETON--All signs point to a Colgate win. The Red Raiders beat strong Villanova last week, the Tigers are 0-3-1 and Princeton hardly ever wins at home. So who says I can't pick a name out of a hat every once in a while? Princeton 24, Colgate 23.
BROWN at CORNELL--Big Red tailback Joe Holland went through Harvard's defense last Saturday the way Sherman went through Atlanta, leaving carnage and a 25-20 loss behind. But Holland can't carry 55 times every game, and Brown can't be eliminated from the Ivy race this early. Brown 17, Cornell 7, and I must confess that this is nothing more than a wild guess.
PENN at LAFAYETTE--No guesswork here. The Quakers will munch on the Leopards as if they were so many fried shrimp. Penn 35, Lafayette 7.
LAST WEEK: 2-2 (a plea of temporary insanity)
SEASON: 13-9 (.595)
SEASON WHILE MAKING PICKS BEFORE ATTENDING MASTER'S OPEN HOUSE: 9-1
