no need to bring up politics not to mention he left out the greatest play in Dartmouth football history the Derek Kyler last second after escaping 2 tackles the best Hail Mary anyone has ever seen. It was against Harvard Dave come on man. Bruce Wood would have done a better job writing the article

These two well written artles remind me of The Boston Globe 1903 commentary on this rivalry "Dartmouth has never had any great love for Harvard. Harvard has never wasted any affection on the Hanover college."

Last year I posted theatrical commentary on which of the Ivy's co-champions would recive the playoff invite. At seasons end I'll re examine that post.

I'm also gathering info on had the Ivy never barred themselves from post season, would they've collected more national championships? That's going to be a fun topic to re apprise.

Besides Dartmouth, Yale and Colgate declined the 1925 Rose Bowl invite over "academics and competition inequality. Upon rejecting The 1937 Rose Bowl invite Dartmouth President Ernest Hopkins said "Its (Rose Bowl) is a efficiently-runned publicity stunt by Southern California." I didn't know Dartmouth declined the Orange Bowl.

Throughout the 1930's and 40's New England teams would decline the Sugar, Orange, Cotton and Citrus Bowls over segregation. During that period, The Citrus and Cotton Bowl Committees petitioned to be excused from that law and allow the teams entire roster travel and play.
