Nice Action shots, PJ. I. for one, still care about Ivy League football. I attended Dartmouth during the early 1960s, when the legendary Bob Blackman was at his peak as a coach and recruiter. In my senior year, Dartmouth won the Lambert Trophy as the best team in the Northeast, back before the trophy was split into three for different levels. Dartmouth also had its last All-American, Don McKinnon. He played center on offense and linebacker on defense.
I still attend Ivy games, mostly at Princeton and occasionally at Penn. Two years ago, I posted some shots of the Dartmouth-Princeton game here and on the PPG. Of course, being a Dartmouth grade, I HATE Harvard, even more than Princeton or Yale. Dan Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Fri, Dec 22, 2017 at 5:12 AM, P. J.
