Dartmouth ruined Cornell's hopes for its first undefeated season since 1939, its first unblemished Ivy title in 16 years, and perhaps its chances for its first Heisman trophy winner, with a startlingly easy 24-14 victory over the Big Red Saturday...

It was a routine 3-yd. plunge in the first quarter, but it bettered by 2 yds. the career rushing record of 3,867 yds. set by 1969 Heisman Trophy Winner Steve Owens at Oklahoma.

If yards were ballots, Marinaro would win by a mile...
...snowmen at the Dartmouth Winter Carnival and then quickly switch to Waikiki for Duke Komanamoko the white water. This Saturday, the Hanover Woods have attracted Chris Schenkel, Bud Wilkinson, and Bill Fleming to the Ivy battle of Ed Marinaro vs. the Big Green. The Ivy title, the Heisman Trophy, and the New York Nielsen rating are at stake...
