Nov. 15, Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa., 1 p.m.

Former Defensive Line Coach Ed Zubrow steps in to replace miracle worker Jerry Berndt (who departs for Rice) as the Quakers set out to match Dartmouth's record string of five consecutive Ivy titles this fall. (The Big Green ruled the Ancient Eight from 1969-1973).

Tailback Rich Comizio (the league's second-leading rusher in '85), fullback Chris Flynn (1985 Rookie of the Year), and quarterback Jim Crocicchia all return to their starting roles of a year ago and together make up the most solid backfield in the Ivies.

The Quakers return seven starters on offense but lose seven starters on defense, including three first-team All-Ivy per-formers.

"We're returning a lot of people on offense, and our running game with Comizio and Flynn should be very strong," Zubrow says, "but I am worried about our large losses on the other side of the ball."

The Quakers' fourth consecutive league title did not come easily last year: the squad struggled past Cornell, 10-6, in the season opener, needed a miraculous 31-point comeback to down Princeton, and fell to Harvard at the Stadium by a convincing 17-6 score.

This year doesn't look to be any easier.
