...enclose a statement of the accounts of the treasurer of the University Foot-Ball Association for last year, which I beg that you will kindly publish. It was the endeavor of the treasurer to make the association self-supporting, i. e. to meet the expenses with receipts from gate money, and not to rely upon subscriptions; it was found impossible to do this wholly without subscriptions, but the treasurer collected of the amount subscribed only such a portion as should pull the association through the year free from debt. It did not seem necessary to lay up a balance...

The committee hope in one respect to improve upon the past, and that is in keeping out of the yard objectionable persons who have entered in the evening in spite of the most strenuous efforts of those in charge. This year unusual precautions will be taken; the gate-keepers will be especially instructed and the tickets will be distributed with the greatest care.

...that all the advantage of season tickets is lost. Rare is the man who cares to lay out $5.00 at one time for a season ticket, when even supposing he attends all the games, he knows it will cost him no more to pay for each game at the gate. The chances are, on the contrary, that a season ticket will prove considerably more expensive, inasmuch as it exacts payment for games not attended. The purchaser of a season ticket insures a certain amount of patronage to the base-ball interest, but he naturally expects some inducement to be offered...
