Offense, Defense Pace League

The Crimson eleven leads the Ivy League in both offensive and defensive statistics.

This is despite its loss to Dartmouth Saturday and its poor league record of one win, two losses.

The varsity has amassed 1,157 yards for an average of 289.3 yards per game. Princeton is in second place with 273.4. Defensively, the Crimson has yielded an average of 202.8 yards to depose last week's leader, Yale. Yale's average soared to 214.4 as Colgate Saturday rolled up 304 yards in defeating the previously unbeaten Eli, 7 to 0.

Dartmouth's Bill Beagle leads the league in individual total offense with 625 yards, followed by Columbia's Claude Benham and the varsity's Matt Botsford with 563 and 499 yards respectively. Botsford's 264 yards for 63 carries places him third in rushing. Levengood of Penn leads the punters with an average of 35.8 yards a kick, while Botsford is fifth with a 31.8 average. Yale's Al Ward tops the league in scoring with 48 points.

Botsford has the fifth highest rushing total in the East, while Beagle is the top Eastern passer.
