Dartmouth Crushes Brown, 41-6; Dowling's Return Sparks Yale Win

By Richard R. Edmonds

Anybody who's been betting favorites in the Ivy League this year, has been getting rich. Again last Saturday all games went according to form, with Dartmouth and Yale winning big to stay even with Harvard.

The Bulldogs showed new life solidly whipping Columbia, 21-7, behind perenially injured superstar Brian Dowling, who started at quarterback for the first time since early in the 1966 season. Dowling, still favoring his wounded flipper, didn't throw a pass all day as Yale churned out its three touchdowns on the ground.

Yale didn't get on the scoreboard until the last two minutes of the first half, when Calvin Hill swept four yards around end to cap a 68 yard drive. Neither Hill nor Dowling ran as effectively though, as burly fullback Don Barrows who gained 141 yards in 26 carries.

Columbia's Marty Domres continued to lead the league in passing, completing 16 of 23.

Indian Warpath

Brown games don't prove too much, but for the record, Dartmouth pasted the Bruins 41-6. The Indians were playing Harvard style football, setting up three of their six touchdowns with defensive plays-two interceptions and a fumble recovery.

Dartmouth quarterback Gene Ryzewicz, who tormented the Crimson two years ago is recovering quickly from his knee injury. Saturday he ran well and fired two touchdown passes. Another worry for the Crimson next Saturday will be sophomore halfback Bob Mlaker, who ran back five punts for 114 yards.

Princeton was picking up fumbles too six of them and turning them into touchdowns in an easy 28-0 win over Colgate. Senior tailback Bob Weber scored three of the TD's and accumulated 152 yards on total offense.

Penn, the Tigers opponents next week, didn't do so well in their non-conference game, floundering to a 28-27 loss to Bucknell. The Quakers, sparked by Bill Creedon who set a Penn career offense record led until the last 15 seconds when Bucknell pushed over the winning touchdown.
