GETCHELL FLAYS TICKET SCALPERS

Ticket speculators are to be more closely guarded against than ever this year, according to announcement made by C. F. Getchel, General Manager of the H. A. A., In an interview with a CRIMSON reporter last night. Last year nearly 60 men were placed on the "black list" for allowing their tickets to the Yale game to get into the hands of speculators, and about 11 were placed on the list for care lessness with tickets to the Dartmouth game. Mr. Getchell warned applicants to be especially careful with tickets to home games, which do not have to be personally occupied. All tickets may be returned up to 6 o'clock of the night preceeding the game, and even if returned the morning of the game they have a very good chance to be sold.

Outline Method of Detection

In reply to a query as to how malefactors were traced Mr. Getchell lauded the work of public spirited alumni who have been of invaluable aid in checking the activities of ticket scalpers. "Under some pretence," he stated, "the tickets are examined and the numbers sent in to us, wetrace the numbers and the person to whom they were issued looses the privilege of applying for further tickets. We are very thankful to anyone who sends us in such information. As time goes on tickets to the big games become increasingly valuable, and those eligible for tickets who are not going to use them should be very careful not to let them get into the hands of strangers, but should return them to the H. A. A." Mr. Getchell at this point, issued a warning to undergraduates to get in their applications for season tickets by next Tuesday, and for Dartmouth and West Point game tickets by next Wednesday.

To date only 447 undergraduates have applied for Dartmouth game tickets, and 625 for West Point tickets.
