More evidence of the tendencies of Eastern colleges to organize an Eastern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is seen at the present moment with the three notable occurrences in the football world of the past two days. Harvard's action in dropping Brown for the 1928 season, Yale's non-scouting agreement with rival colleges, and the unanimous consent of ten colleges to allow a central arbiter to select officials for major contests all seem to imply that college sports relations are about to undergo a further, and more radical, change.

Since Harvard, still one of the important colleges in intercollegiate football circles, has announced that the Crimson will consider the Yale contest the only definite one on her schedule in future years, and that the Cambridge institution will play other colleges at intervals to her satisfaction, we can advocate more heartily than ever before the creation of an Eastern Conference on a sound and intelligent basis. --Brown Herald.
