Entitled "A Late Season Homecoming" that covered the 1991 Dartmouth-Princeton finale (which was for all the marbles).

They said a "malcontent" (that's a direct quote) complained about Dartmouth's (supposed) advantage of opening at home every year--even though the evidence didn't back that up. (Of course, we were generally lousy in the 1980s whereas Penn and Princeton were strong).

Can't find the article on the internet anymore, but if anyone wants to go hunting for it...

I surmised that it was Princeton because the league stuck us with them as the finale. "You guys don't want Dartmouth to open at home every year? Fine--you guys go to Hanover for the finale every other year."

Again, if anyone else wants to guess who the complainant was, I'm happy to entertain theories!
