On a windy day in New York City, Columbia downed football 17-9 to win a share of the Ivy League title for the first time since 1961 and just the second time in Lion history. With the loss, Cornell’s (4-6, 3-4 Ivy League) streak of finishing Ivy play with a .500 record or below continued for an 18th straight season. A loss for the Crimson would allow Columbia and/or Dartmouth to clinch a share of the Ivy League title with a win. Cornell’s defense, which entered the game allowing the second-most yards in the Ivy League, could not hold back the Columbia offense. With that result, Harvard, Columbia and Dartmouth all claimed shares of the Ivy League title with even records of 5-2.
