Their official status is "scrimmages" which I guess is indeed something less
than an exhibition.  Note that things like the Cornell Red/White game, an
intra-squad scrimmage, often don't show up on schedules.  My understanding is
that Saturday's Princeton-Cornell scrimmage more or less approximated a real
game (three 20-minute periods).  I don't know about the Brown-Yale scrimmage,
if it did in fact take place, but last year, when those two met in the
"pre-season", they played a pair of 40-minute games.
 
One might wonder what Harvard and Dartmouth were doing over the weekend, and
why they didn't scrimmage and make it a clean sweep for the Ivies :-)
