Senior quarterback Tom Bennewitz fires a spiral Thursday.
You might call this trashing the opposition.
Freshman Donald Kephart kicks off an Alex Jenny hold.There was a light rain overnight and the hourly forecast calls for isolated thunder storms so the early guess here is that practice will be held for the first time on Memorial Field. But only time will tell because it's getting lighter out as we speak. ... ;-)
Amazing as it sounds given that Dartmouth hasn't yet strapped on the pads, Cornell's camp is over. (link) That doesn't mean the first game is just around the corner. The Big Red starts the same day Dartmouth starts -- Sept. 15. It's just that with classes beginning, the practice schedule in Ithaca now reverts to the regular weekly in-season schedule. Dartmouth classes don't kick off until Sept. 26.
The Princeton Packet has a story (link) about new starting quarterback Bill Foran, who spent one season at Purdue before coming to the Ivy League. Foran will be a key to the Tigers' bid to defend their crown. The Packet story talks about Foran having "speed that made him among the top sprinters on the indoor track and field team," and about "the jitterbug moves that made him tough to tackle." Having talked with Princeton coach Roger Hughes about his new QB, I expect him to have a huge impact this fall.
Speaking of Princeton ... enough already with the school's football web site popping a video up on my screen every time I visit. Hey you in TigerTown: Cease and desist. It's ANNOYING!
Dartmouth (and the other Ivies) have been in contact with a couple of student-athletes who credit military parents for their discipline. One is a fullback/linebacker from Western P-A (as we Penn Staters call it--link) and the other is a quarterback from California. (link)
