Big Red, Indians Appear Strongest Among Ivies

After the first two weeks of the season, Cornell and Dartmouth look like the teams to be reckoned with in the Ivy League. The Big Red from Ithaca buried Rutgers, 31-17, Saturday afternoon, while the Indians beat Holy Cross, 28-9 on a fourth-quarter burst.

Among the Ivies, only Cornell and Dartmouth have won handily both weekends. Penn, which beat Brown, 17-16, on Saturday is the only other undefeated Ivy squad.

Cornell's Ed Marinaro had another big day, racking up 246 yards on the ground and scoring four more touchdowns against a Rutgers team which dumped Princeton a week ago.

Holy Cross had Dartmouth down, 9-7, with a minute left in the third period. But scrambling quarterback Bill Pollock pulled the Indians away from the played out Crusaders by turning two broken plays into long bombs.

Big Day

The big game between Ivy teams Saturday was at Baker Field in New York, where Columbia beat Princeton for the first time since 1945, 22-20. Columbia's Don Jackson passed for 233 yards and the Lions stopped a Princeton two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter to preserve the victory.

The Penn-Brown game was also decided by a missed two-point try. Split end Chip Regine, all alone in the endzone after a Brown touchdown, dropped a perfect pass and gave Penn the ballgame.

Yale lost to Colgate, 28-21, in the big upset of the day. Colgate, routed by Cornell a week ago, overcame a 21-7 deficit and scored its final touchdown with only two minutes remaining in the game to overtake the Bulldogs.

Although there were two league games this weekend, next Saturday marks the beginning of a full schedule of Ivy action. The Harvard gridders open their league play against Columbia in the Stadium. In other games, Yale is at Brown, Princeton goes to Cornell, and undefeateds Penn and Dartmouth battle at Hanover.
