1934

Now that the football season is getting closer I'm getting the bug—I wrote Josie Harper, our athletic director, and suggested the following: Discontinue playing our non-Ivy League opponents and form two Ivy Leagues. Call one the mid-Atlantic conference comprising Columbia, Cornell, Penn and Princeton; the other, the New England conference, including Brown, Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale.

A team in one league plays the three other teams in its league twice—on a home and home basis. Teams in the other conference would be played once—two games at home and two away. The winners of each league would then play an nth game for the Ivy League championship on a neutral field—let's say Yale, except if they won, then Princeton. If they both won, then at another field.

In the event of a tie for the championship the winner would be decided on which team won the two games played between them or if the teams split their two games then the winner would be the team with the most victories against the teams in its conference.

I don't think it's fair to our men to play against teams that offer football scholarships, start practice earlier and play one or two games before our first game. Our chance of injury is greater because we may not be as well conditioned.

Dr. Charles Levesque has passed away and we extend our sympathy to his family.
