...plan recommended by the special committee on the distribution of tickets, and approved by the committee on athletics, it was decided to send signature cards and application blanks to all Harvard graduates. It was decided not to issue application blanks in block to clubs as has been the custom in the past. The work of sending out individual applications has not progressed so rapidly as was expected.

Aronson's mishap, in particular, had apparently a demoralizing effect on the team, and it has taken a month to reconstruct the outfield. In addition, during nearly the entire season the pitching has depended on one man. This, quite naturally...
