Big Green's Wheels Come Off Against Yale

HANOVER -- It is the 1960s and you've been wrestling with those ornery rabbit ears through the first two quarters and still the game is a jumbled mess on your new-fangled Zenith color TV.

Fed up, you are about to kick something -- the wall, the dog, maybe the TV -- when suddenly the picture comes in as clear as day, and you t-i-p-t-o-e back to the couch.

But seconds after you sit down to enjoy the rest of the game one of the wheels on the TV cart the set is perched on starts to wobble and then collapses in a heap, taking the tube and the game you wanted to see down with it.

Now you know how pretty much how Dartmouth (0-4, 0-2 Ivy League) felt after Saturday's 26-14 loss to Yale (3-1, 2-0 Ivy).

Just when it seemed everything was working the way it should, the wheels came off.
