An official eastern Ivy league
comprising from eight to 10 col
leges is jn the formative stage
and may be ready to do business
by the time the 1!)40 football sea-

the pigskin pipeline insisted to

that would be involved are In
favor of the idea. It would bind
the east the only section of the
country where the colleges have
no official league into a regular
organization.

There even have boon some re
ports the league might spring
into operation this season with
standings to be bused on the
games previously scheduled, but
there was little chance the ma

up the circuit are the "big three"
Ivy lcagures, Yale, Harvard and
Princeton, and Pennsylvania,
Cornell, Dartmouth and Colum
bia. Three others, Brown, Army
and Navy are regiirder as prob
able members.
Change Hulei
If the league became a seven
or eight team circuit, a round-
robin schedule of football and a
double round-robin of basketball
games would be played. That
would permit the scheduling of
two or three outside or interscc
tional games for a well-balanced
schedule. However, if the league
became a 10-member circuit, the
schedule would be more flexible
with teams maintaining league
status by playing as few as five
games.
Army and Navy would be wel
corned into the fold, but only if
they agreed to revert to three
year eligibility rules.
