Sports Directors Pick Dartmouth in '71

The Ivy League sports information directors predict that Dartmouth will retain the League football championship in '71, its second successive crown.

In a recent poll, the eight Ivy SDI's selected Jake Crouthamel's Indians to finish ahead of Yale, Harvard. Cornell, and Princeton in a race that is expected to be one of the most hotly contested battles in Ivy League history. The sports directors, who could not vote for their own team, gave three first place votes to the Indians, while Harvard and Yale were the top choices on two ballots apiece.

The SDI's accurately picked Dartmouth to reign in 1970.

Informed of the poll, Crimson half-back Ted DeMars said. "We certainly do not deserve to be picked any higher than third, not at this time."
