The Game At a Glance

If Harvard (7-2, 4-2 in the Ivy League) wins, then it ties Yale for the championship. A Dartmouth (4-2) victory over Princeton (3-3) and a Cornell (4-2) victory over Penn (1-5) combined with a Harvard victory would mean a four-way tie for the title. If Yale (7-2, 5-1 Ivy) wins or ties, it wins the championship outright.

Yale has won or shared the championship for three of the last four years. Harvard last won it in 1975.
