Football Holds Destiny in Own Hands

In a fall season of NFL and Division 1-A Football where no lead can be considered safe and any team can win on a given week, it comes as no surprise that the of10 wild Ivy League has followed suit this year.

This weekend certainly had no shortage of close games. Besides the dramatic 13-6 Harvard (4-2, 2-1 Ivy) victory over Princeton (2-4, 0-3 Ivy), Saturday's Ivy League action featured two games which came down to onside kicks in the final minutes.

With all eight Ivy teams in league action for the first time since opening weekend, there was bound to be a major shakeup in the league standings.

On Saturday afternoon, Cornell and Penn--the two lone unbea10 teams in league play--were knocked from their pedestals by Dartmouth and Brown, respectively.

The losses by the Big Red and the Quakers, and subsequent victories by the Bulldogs and the Crimson made for a five-way tie in the loss column atop the Ivy League standings.

With four weeks left in the season, the Ivy League is as wide open as ever, leaving a solid probability that this season's version of The Game between Harvard and Yale might be the one that determines the league champion.

Additionally, with its victory over Princeton, the Crimson hold's its Ivy League destiny in its own hands.

Brown 44, Penn 37
