As the CRIMSON pointed out recently, the refereeing of intercollegiate hockey games has not been satisfactory; the need of competent officials has been very apparent. It is gratifying to note that an attempt is to be made to standardize the hockey refereeing in the future, and that a conference of the captains of the Yale, Princeton and Harvard teams is to be held within a month in which efficient referees will be selected for the games next winter. Each of the three colleges is to name two men who are qualified to referee; these men, who will be required to keep in practice by refereeing at preliminary games, will officiate at the intercollegiate championships. The merits of such a system are obvious. Competent refereeing is necessary if the contests are to be at all satisfactory to players or spectators. The conference to secure such refereeing is decidedly a step forward in hockey matters.
