In the more surprising of the two games, Cornell edged Dartmouth, 17-14.
The game was closer than even the score would indicate. Cornell led 10-0 going into the fourth quarter. The Big Green, however, suddenly came alive, scoring two touchdowns in the first eight minutes of the period. The last, a pass from quarterback Jerry Singleton to David Shearer, gave it a 14-10 lead.
Then the Big Red mounted its most impressive comeback of the season. After taking over on its own three-yard line when Doug Knopp recovered a Dartmouth fumble with just 3:11 to play, Cornell put together a 10-play, 97-yard drive. It ended when Aaron Berryman caught a 15-yard pass from quarterback Per Larson in the end zone with 49 seconds left.
The Penn win was considerably less dramatic. The Quakers scored all of its points in the first half.
Penn (5-0 overall, 3-0 Ivy) won as it has all season: on the strength of a stingy defense and a great running back. The Penn defense held Brown to 45 total yards in the first-half. Meanwhile Stokes carried tailback Terrance Stokes rushed 22 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns.
The victory was Penn's 17th straight, the longest streak in Division I-AA.
Ivy League Notes: Cornell tailback Chad Levitt and Columbia's Schwalbe were named Offensive Co-Players of the Week in the league. Levitt carried the ball 132 times for 172 yards in the Big Red's 17-14 win over Dartmouth.
Also receiving recognition were Cornell free safety Chris Hanson and Princeton free safety Tom Ludwig.
Hanson garnered Defensive Player of the Week honors for his two-interception, one-fumble recovery performance against Dartmouth.
Ludwig was given the Rookie of the Week award for making three interceptions against Harvard.
