To the Editors of the Crimson:
The H.A.A. has done it again. Harvard's Athletic Association still holds its triple crown for bumbling incompetence, thoughtless negligence, and sheer stupidity.
Obviously the H.A.A. cannot be blamed for the two-seats-to-a-customer rule that it found necessary to establish. But the deadline for applications for the Yale game was some time ago. Why could not the H.A.A. have announced the 10,000 seat over-application and the two-seat rule then?
Instead, the ever-alert, ever-thoughtful Athletic Association waits until four days before game-time to make its announcement. In the meantime, people have been invited, hotel rooms reserved, deposits paid, and railroad tickets purchased. And one prompt announcement by the H.A.A. could have averted most of the inconvenience, unpleasantness, and expense that now results. Sedgwick William Green '50.
