The second-ranked Crimson Tide grabbed yardage in huge chunks and the Alabama defense stifled the nation's leading passer Don Strock, as the Tide won its 10th game of the season.

It was as simple as That comment by Jack Musick just about told the story of Saturday's 31-22 loss to Dartmouth a defeat before 22,000 Schoellkopf fans that wiped away any championship dreams Cornell might have had. The win puts Dartmouth (now 4-1-1 in Ivy play) in the driver's seat for another Ivy League championship. Dartmouth is 6-1-1 overall while Cornell now is 5-3 with only Saturday's date with Princeton remaining.

Saturday's game also could mean the end of star sophomore Dan Malone's season. Big Dan, who rambled for 128 yards on 27 carries to boost his season total to 913 yards, suffered a severely damaged knee late in the third quarter. "It's doubtful if Dan will play against said ''We'll know more Monday after a thorough examination but right now I'd have to say he won't play." Some of those "little mistakes" Musick talked about were a breakdown of secondary pass defense and a couple of busted offensive plays that killed Cornell TDs. Dartmouth led all the way in racking up its fifth successive win over the Big Red and quarterback Steve Stetson was the big reason. Stetson, who entered the game with a 50 per cent completion record on 53 of 106 attempts for 476 yards and seven touchdowns, added to those totals against a Cornell secondary which couldn't hold its footing on the slippery, water-soaked Poly-turf.
