To the Editors of the Crimson:

The arrangements for the accomodation of spectators at Springfield, on the occasion of the Harvard-Yale game, were admirable. Not so those for the sale of tickets. The system pursued this year, which is that of former years with increased objections, is distinctly faulty. It is time it were changed.

The first step is to recognize the fact that every student in Harvard is entitled to one seat at Springfield for the great game. Let that be the fundamental principle. The game is played by the 'varsity team, the students are called upon from the day they enter college to the day they leave it, to contribute to the foot ball and other teams, not merely personal support, but money subscriptions. The students pay out money right along. But for them where would foot ball and base ball and the crew be? Clear, is it not, that the students should each and all have a certainity of one seat apiece? It is no answer to say that many are not satisfied with one. At present nobody, save a favored few, is sure of one seat; it is a scramble in which private influence and the largest purse alone can command success.

Here is a suggestion, nothing more; it may be worthless in itself, but useful in stimulating business heads to formulate better plans.

At least a month before the Yale game let the management announce in the CRIMON and on the bulletin boards: "Every student in Harvard University is entitled to one ticket for the Yale game, price - Applications, in writing only, will be received up to - (a day not less than a fortnight before the game). Any student not applying by that date will be understood to renounce his right to a ticket. All tickets not applied for as above will be distributed, on the plan of class seniority, to students who have stated on their application that they desire extra tickets. The management will allow one extra ticket to each application, out of the surplus number; if any are then left, a third will be given in the same way."

The tickets reserved for Harvard would then go to Harvard men first; to those at the time connected with the college - that is, those that are most justly entitled to them.

The Association should be amply satisfied with 400 tickets. The few members of the Faculty who care to attend the game would be satisfied, no doubt, to come in on the same footing as the students.

Or second, plan - when the sale of season tickets begins, let five dollars be charged for each ticket, including, in return, a reserved seat at Springfield. Distribution of tickets for Springfield on basis of seniority of classes. This plan would largely benefit the Association, and season ticket holders as well, for they would have first sale for Yale game tickets; after them, every student not holding a season ticket should get one ticket on plan first outlined.
