"Someone (presumably Princeton) complained that Dartmouth got too much of an advantage by opening at home every season."

You will notice he's big on "presumptions" and "guesses". Perhaps Tony Reno is distressed to find out he wasn't recently actually finalizing the details of his contract with Rice.

Here are some additional facts taken from the Dartmouth athletics website: https://dartmouthsports.com/sports/football/opponent-history/princeton-university/76

The teams switched from always playing in NJ starting with the 1964 season. From 1964 through 1976, games between the two schools played in Hanover were in October in what was typically not only the third game of the season for Dartmouth, but also typically not its home opener. During that period the cumulative results were 3-3 for games played in Hanover.

Beginning in 1977 through 1988, the teams played in September at Dartmouth. During this period, the cumulative results were 3-4 (i.e., Dartmouth under .500) for games in Hanover.

Beginning in 1990, the teams played their games at the end of the season regardless of location.

So, Princeton won more games than Dartmouth when played early in the season at Hanover. While I don't have copies of correspondence or telephone transcripts from this era, this information does not exactly compel the conclusion (presumptive or otherwise) that PU might have complained about an unfair advantage for Dartmouth.
