The New Haven Register offers a little more information on the situation surrounding Yale tailback Tyler Varga, who missed the Dartmouth game because of eligibility concerns after his transfer from a Canadian university. From the Register:

(T)he transfer can be eligible (without having to sit out a year) if he is going from an FCS school that offers athletic scholarships to an FCS school that does not. 
(Yale coach Tony) Reno confirmed Varga was on scholarship at his previous school. So there seems to be some gray area because Varga comes from a Canadian university. 
“Yale interpreted the rule that he could play immediately,” Reno said.
In the notes section, this column from The Sports Network says Harvard is looking like one of the nation's most underrated teams.
For those of you keeping score, the flat tire count this year on the shoulder of Moose Mountain has risen to four. The blame this time goes to a nail.

And finally, That Certain Older Hanover High Grad will freely admit that Dartmouth's famed Stretch Program is a ton of work but the scenery isn't too shabby. Here she's airborne under the famous Delicate Arch near Moab, Utah.
