Dartmouth and Princeton were expected to be contenders, but Yale was picked by most polls to finish no higher than third. It must be remembered, however, that the Elis have faced Columbia.

Princeton has also been aided by an easy schedule early in the season. It beat Columbia and Cornell, and the Penn, which has suffered a rash of injuries. Saturday, the Tigers will get yet another chance to sharpen their game when they host Brown...
