Though the Harvard football team was elated to see its offense finally come to life in Saturday's 63-21 win over Dartmouth, down in New Haven, Yale had to be even happier with its weekend win over Penn that snapped a seven-year losing streak.

Since 1992, Penn had been a thorn in Yale's side, keeping the Elis from getting anywhere close to an Ivy League title.

But on Sunday, the Bulldogs finally got their revenge, coming from behind in the fourth quarter, dealing the defending Ivy League champions a loss that likely put an end to any Quaker title hopes.

The Yale win made the Ivy League title picture slightly clearer. Harvard's win over Dartmouth forced a four-way tie atop the league standings with Yale, Cornell and Brown. Next week, with Harvard playing at Brown and Yale playing at Cornell, the four-way logjam at top will be cut in half.

In other Ivy League action this weekend, Brown and Cornell both posted easy victories over weaker non-league opponents. In a battle of Ivy League cellar-dwellers, Princeton won big over Columbia.

Yale 23, Pennsylvania 19

Coming into the game on their longest winning steak since their last championship season in 1989, the Bulldogs had to believe they could finally notch a victory over Penn this season.

Early on, however, it looked like more of the same as Penn quarterback Gavin Hoffman hooked up with tight end Benjamin Zagorski just four minutes into the game.
