The H.A.A. will not issue complimentary football tickets to local youngsters for any of the games this year, Donald M. Felt, assistant Director of Athletics stated yesterday. He added, however, that there may be free admission for organized youth groups to next year's non-Ivy contests.
Walter W. Birge III '61, Co-chairman of the PBH Social Service Committee, and Barney Frank '61, member of the Student Council, have been working on a plan to have PBH-supervised groups admitted to three or four games next year. If the HAA approves the plan, Birge and Frank will arrange the details this spring.
Felt said that the main obstacle blocking any such program is the limitation set on the number of free tickets by Ivy League contract. The HAA already makes complimentary passes available to many adult groups, such as officials of Cambridge, Boston, and the State House.
"We'd like to have the youngsters here," he declared, but "beyond a certain point, we'd have to account for them to the visiting team." Since 45 per cent of the receipts go to the visitors, he continued, "we're not justified in giving out tickets to any additional groups."
