FOOTBALL BLACK-LIST.

The announcement has been made that at present there are 205 names on the football black-list. This need not be taken to signify that 205 men have wilfully sold their privilege for a necessarily small monetary return. Unfortunately many men unacquainted with the system have found themselves debarred from making further application to football games, although they have never knowingly allowed their tickets to fall into the hands of speculators. Failing to comprehend the strictness of the rules relating to the distribution of tickets, men sometimes allow them to slip out of their hands, thinking that all responsibility on their part thereby ends. Such men should not be greatly surprised to find their names appear on the black-list, for if the Athletic Association's efforts to destroy all speculation are to be in any way successful, it is quite evident that pleas of misunderstanding and ignorance can be of no avail. Therefore it should be understood that the man who receives tickets for the big games is held responsible for them and that excuses of lack of understanding of the rules cannot be accepted.
