According to unofficial reports from the several campuses concerned, the plan for a definite, well-organized Ivy League is being very well received. Here at Cornell, where this paper has been suggesting for some months that the Ivy League be made a physical reality, the athletic administration has taken the first definite steps toward accomplishing this end.

Athletic Director James Lynah has invited to visit him at his Georgia plantation the week after next the athletic directors from Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale. There can be no doubt but that Ivy League plans will be foremost among the topics discussed at that time. And is certainly hoped that the results of this meeting will point toward the speedy adoption of definite Ivy League plans along the lines suggested in yesterday's editorial.

For Cornell, the Ivy League is a logical development. The Big Red football schedule regularly includes games with Princeton, Pennsylvania, Columbia, and Dartmouth, and this fall Yale was added to the list. It is also understood that proposals for 1938 include Harvard. In other words, Cornell already has its schedule arranged so that it will practically agree with any actual Ivy League plans. The only non-league games Cornell will play in the future will probably be picked from our geographically natural rivals--Syracuse, Colgate, and Penn State.

More than that, however, Cornell will be playing a schedule which includes mainly schools of academic ratings comparable to her own excellent scholastic reputation. The class of athletes in the Ivy schools tend to be more the university type, rather than the obvious coal miner proselyte by means of whom certain schools have built up considerable athletic prestige. Gentlemen athletes are definitely preferable, regardless of any opinions on subsidization.

Finally, a standard guarantee to visiting teams as suggested yesterday may enable Cornell, in out-of-the-way Ithaca, to get better home games, thus obviating, perhaps, the present financial necessity of playing some inferior schools merely because of gate receipts. --Cornell Daily Sun
