"TWO ON THE FIFTY"

With the approach of the Yale game each November, the office of the H. A. A. is snowed in under countless applications for tickets. Inevitable wails of dismay arise from patrons banished to the no man's land behind the goalposts to plague Mr. Bingham and his staff who, as the saying goes, can do nothing about it.

The best seats in the stadium of course, are between the goal lines, excepting those in the colonnades and track sections, but these choice seats number only 6000. After the pick has been taken by members of the Varsity, J. V., and Freshman teams, the coaches, and the body of undergraduates, these places are almost entirely filled.

It is hard to see just where cuts could be made in the preferred list. Eight tickets for each player on this year's Varsity does not seem a prodigal amount. Add to this consideration for the undergraduates, to whom the Yale game is the be-all and end-all of the football season, the coaches, band, and Varsity Club, and you are right back at the start.

Further down the line come graduates, class gatherings, members of the graduate schools, and club groups, whose accomodations are far from Eden, commonly known as the fifty-yard line. At the present time there is no evidence of abuse or favoritism on the part of the H. A. A., but the agitation for better tickets serves as a noisy watchman to prevent the Bingham office from lapsing into such a Bourbon condition.
