LATE last month Ivy League officials announced a reshuffling of Ivy League football schedules for a four-year period from 1964 through 1967, and certain of the changes will be of interest to Dartmouth alumni.
Starting in 1964 the Big Green will play Princeton as its third game of the season on the even years (1964 and 1966) and will meet Pennsylvania in these years in the final game. For the odd years (1965 and 1967) the Dartmouth-Penn contest will fall on the third weekend and the Big Green will wind up the season at Princeton.
Furthermore, in an effort to restore a home-and-home balance to the schedule the Dartmouth-Princeton games in 1964 and 1966 (fifth game of the season) will probably be played in Hanover. Thus the 1964 through 1967 Dartmouth football schedule should be as follows: the opening two games each fall with non-Ivy teams to be announced, the third game against Princeton or Penn on alternating years, the fourth contest against Brown, the fifth versus Harvard, the sixth against Yale, the seventh against Columbia, the eighth with Cornell and the finale with either Princeton or Penn on alternating years.
The Dartmouth games with Brown, Harvard, Columbia and Cornell are on a home-and-home basis, so that Harvard will probably' be meeting the Indians in Hanover in 1964 and 1966. All the Dartmouth-Yale games will be
played at the Yale Bowl. Primary reasons for the new scheduling were the requests of several of the Ivy League members to improve the position of certain games and to break up back-to-back road trips in the same season.
