Big Green kicker Dave Regula added three field goals as Dartmouth stayed alive after its stunner shutout loss to Harvard. Dartmouth will host Brown Saturday in a win-with-help situation.

Cornell 37, Yale 10

In the weekend's garbage game, the Big Red (4-4, 2-3) evened its record by pounding the basement-dwelling Bulldogs (1-7, 0-5) with 376 yards of total offense.

Big Red wideout Eric Krawczyk set a school season record for receptions with 68, pulling down nine catches for 112 yards.

The Bulldogs, meanwhile, finished with a sickly 39 yards rushing on 38 carries, averaging 2.3 yards per play on offense. Quarterback Mike McClellan completed 11-of-22 for 96 yards as Yale stumbled to its fifth straight conference loss.

So here's your title hunt primer: Harvard is in the driver's seat with a one-game lead, and a win over Penn will guarantee a share of the title.

Should Penn win, the contingencies all become operative: a Dartmouth win over Brown would produce a three-way tie for first with Week 10 to serve as the tiebreaker, in which Penn would host Cornell, Dartmouth would host Princeton and Harvard would travel to a certain Connecticut town for a certain game.

Effectively, Harvard's home finale Saturday afternoon is the biggest Crimson football game since the Reagan administration. An Ivy League crown is at stake, and the Crimson is in that awe-inspiring role that NFL commentators mouth with reverence: Harvard controls its own destiny, and it couldn't be happier.
