1st XV Princeton Men 29 - Harvard Men 7

In order to replace the injuries to the starting fifteen from the previous day, Coach Dave Gonzales gave the nod to four new players who made their Ivy-League debut against the Tigers.
Dartmouth Men 64 - Columbia Men 0
The only major difference for the Big Green the next day against Columbia would be the lack of a rush to get to the field on time. Once again, Clark and Hughes would wreak havoc in the early minutes, with each of them putting in a try stemming from handy catch-pass work from the Big Green interior backs. Their counterpart in the back three, wing and soccer-convert Justin Ciambella ‘13 would soon get in the act as well with a score of his own after a deft pass from co-captain and flyhalf Will Lehmann ’12, to increase the lead to 19-0.
Brown Men 39 - Cornell Men 17
Brown University was able to bounce back from the disappointing loss to Columbia a day earlier to defeat Cornell 39-17. The 97 points Cornell gave up the day before did not seem to matter on this day as Cornell fought tooth and nail to eventually take their second loss of the Ivy season.
