The winners, who share the Ivy League lead with Prince ton, Tailed twice in the OPEN ing half and then found them selves fighting desperately to stop Dartmouth during most of a wild second half. Yale’s touchdown twins, AL Ward and Dennis McGill, accounted for two of the three touchdowns. Ward tailed in the opening quarter on a l2-yard pass from Dean Loucks and Nc Gill scored on spectacular 90 yard run midway in the second.
