Lions

Columbia 38, Princeton 0.

This ties Columbia's second greatest margin of victory in Ivy League play, matching a 44-6 win over Cornell in 1960. More to the point, this is a shutout win over Princeton, at Princeton. As a measure of the historic strength of these programs, Princeton has walked away with the mythical Silver Ball 106 times. Columbia, just 6.

Put this one down next to the 1934 Rose Bowl. Yesterday was one of the greatest days in Columbia's football history.
