Contents

Yale's record book lists a 1–9 record for 1997, 0–7 in Ivy League play. [1] The Ivy League record book, however, credits Yale with a conference win after Penn forfeited its victories. Yale is thus recorded by the league as its seventh-place finisher in 1997, ahead of Penn. [2]

Note

^  a: In January 1998, Penn agreed to forfeit its Ivy League wins from 1997 after star defensive tackle Mitch Marrow was declared ineligible as a part-time student. [10] Both teams' record books claim their 1997 meeting, a 26–7 Penn victory on the field, as a loss. Yale thus computes its season record as 1–9, and its Ivy League record as 0–6. The Ivy League's own record book, however, regards the game as a Yale victory (by forfeit), and computes win–loss records and season standings accordingly. [2]
