Renewing Battle
For IWLead
BY the Associated Press

Yale and Princeton trade OPP
ponents this week and square off

top Ivy League football team.
2 Favored Yale takes on Colgate,
a 1920 loser to Princeton last

Tigers go against Cornell at
Ithaca in an effort to regain their
half interest in the Ivy lead.
Yale moved out ahead last
week by whipping Cornell, 25-7,
after a close first half for its
third league victory. Princeton
will be going after No. 3 against
a Cornell team that may be
somewhat better.
Speedster Irwin (Bo) Robertson

One other Ivy game pits Dart

other teams face tough out

Columbia meets Army for the

Benham's passing wizardry will
