Permit an undergraduate, who has cheered the football team during his four years in College, to enter a protest against the distribution of tickets for the Yale game by the football management. Certainly undergraduate holders of season tickets have a right to expect better seats than those in the corners, on the ends, or on the Yale side. It seems as if, with 34,000 seats at its disposal, the management has been injudiciously liberal in its disposal of tickets to "old players, coaches and members of the 'Varsity team" and perhaps to others not mentioned in the CRIMSON...
When season tickets are sold, moreover, as they now are, to any one from Chelsea to South Boston we must expect such mercenary methods as have been seen on Soldiers Field this year.

...demand for seats at the Yale game has been so great that there are now no $2.00 seats left on the sides of the field, the applications from old players, coaches and members of the 'Varsity team, and the applications from season ticket holders having used up all except those reserved for Yale. Graduates who apply for seats will save the management a great deal of inconvenience in returning money by asking for $1.50 seats instead of $2.00. No applications from graduates can be filled from $2.00 seats...
