Lions attack Quakers

With preseason favorites Harvard and Brown struggling, Pennsylvania, the media's pick to finish third in the Ivies, is hoping to establish itself as the team to beat. A victory over visiting Columbia (2-2) on Sat., Oct. 17 would solidify the Quakers' position atop the league standings. Pennsylvania (3-1) opened the year with a narrow win at Dartmouth, then dropped a game to Richmond before posting victories over Bucknell and Fordham. The Quakers are led by All-Ivy running back Jim Finn '99, who is averaging 128 rushing yards per game. Finn will be tested this weekend by a tough Columbia ground defense that has surrendered only 52.5 yards per game.
