The University has announced it is appealing the decision of the eligibility committee of the Eastern College Athletic Conference ruling hockey player Gene Kinasewich ineligible for accepting Junior A subsidies, Harvard was thoroughly justified in doing so, it stood by Kinasewich last year and should continue to do so.

The University's case, which convinced the Ivy League Deans last year, is strong, despite the feet that it seems to make Harvard a defender of "professional" college athletes. If the EGAG does not reverse its ruling, the Ivy League colleges should take joint action, on the Presidential level if necessary. On matters of eligibility, the Ivy League seems far more qualified to pass judgment than the ECAC.
