Humiliated Yale (3-2-0) hosts Princeton (2-2-1) today. The favored Elis are pulling for a Cornell upset victory, and if the Bulldogs can come through on their own turf, they would be tied for first place...
...football coach of the University of Southern California, the trip north to play his alma mater, the University of Oregon, might have been a sentimental journey. One look at the playing conditions was enough to dampen any thought of old school ties. A driving rain had turned the artificial turf into one big slippery sponge. The game, which was supposed to have been a romp for the Trojans, turned into a tossup. After 30 minutes of fumbles and false starts, neither team had scored, and U.S.C. sloshed into the locker room at half time for the Trojan equivalent...
...typical fired-up Princeton gridder. Unfortunately, his aggressiveness on the field has often alienated fellow players. Last week against Brown.

Two Tiger trainers and Kincaid huddled around him. "It's my leg, it's my leg--I can't even move it," he moaned...

That same weekend mighty Oklahoma, the nation's No. 2-ranked team behind the high-scoring Trojans of Southern Cal, was put out of contention by a barefooted Chilean placekicker named Fred Lima, who booted two field goals for Colorado in the final period to down the Sooners 20-14. It's been that kind of season...
