Gentlemen; speaking on the obvious, it is a disadvantage to start a season playing squads who have already had three games under their belts. I for one would like to see the ancient eight at least start their season one week earlier and add an additional game I have expounded, that may be it takes the players to move the marker to accomplish his goal as was accomplished, by getting into the playoffs.

The Ivy spent about 25 years (or so) opening up against conference opponents. They figured that both teams were starting the season, so the odds were even.

Eventually, the coaches decided that it was too costly to break in new and inexperienced players against a conference foe, and that it was better to take our lumps against OOC teams that had played several games.

I agree that it would be ideal to start earlier and add an eleventh game. But until that happens...
