Last week, four of the Cube selectors went 5-2. President Jeff Zucker, staff writer Bob Cunha, and I penned in the same selections for the second week in a row, tying for first place with one of our guest selectors.

Samantha the lobster also went 5-2.

Shown up by a crustacean.

A lobster--and don't get me wrong, I love a good lobster--took me at my own game.

This week, I'll come back. Samantha won't be picking this week. She hasn't answered our phone calls, and I think someone told me about a terrible accident with boiling water and melted butter down at Bay State Lobsters.

PENN 35, COLUMBIA 8--Sure, Quakers stand for peace and Columbia Coach Jim Garrett stands for war, but the smart money's on the Red and Blue.

Two weeks ago, Garrett drove punter Pete Murphy out of the Lion football program for averaging 38.5 yards a punt against the Crimson. His replacement, John Williamson, managed only 34.4 yards a boot last week.

Insiders say the bandleader may punt this week. Often.

BROWN 20, PRINCETON 3--Ron Rogerson's Tigers pulled the upset of the opening weekend, knocking off Dartmouth.

The Bruins almost pulled a bigger surprise, falling two points shy of ambushing Yale.

An old saying goes Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my. There's another old saying that says the first shall be last.

And there's another one . . . oh, never mind. Just take the Bruins, they're too strong defensively for Princeton.

ARMY 49, YALE 9--Black Knights are minions of evil. Evil minions like to sneak up on cute furry dogs, stuff them in burlap sacks, and drown them in the Hudson River.

'Nuff said.

LAFAYETTE 27, CORNELL 14--The Big Red almost stunned the Red Raiders last weekend after losing to the Red and Blue in its opener.
