Only two Harvard football games will be televised this season, but one will be in glorious color. The Columbia Broadcasting System will make an exclusive color telecast of the Yale game from the Bowl November 24.
The other broadcast will be on a local basis: the Dartmouth game, scheduled October 27. On other weekends, the N.C.A.A. experimental bans will force Crimson followers either to buy tickets or take their loyalties elsewhere for the weekend.

The N.C.A.A. threatened to expel Penn unless it agreed to the TV ban by a given date. One day before this date, Penn surrendered its position.
