Very reasonably, the Ivy League
has always reserved the prerog-
ative to ignore the gridiron in
the higher calling of cultivat-
ing an imitation of the languor
of the Platonic symposium. This
predilection reaches disturbing
levels, however, when a loss to
both Harvard and Yale is capped
by temporizing at Dartmouth. It
is one thing to abjure competi-
tion in the dialogues that mat-
ter, but entirely another, when
refusing honourable temptation.
It can begin to look unamiable.
