...here in 1888-89, $2621.35. The management also lowered the price of season tickets in 1888-89, to $2.50. The price was $5 the previous year.

Captain Duane will not be with the team, and Godchaux, who did good work for Technology during the past season, is uncertain as to his playing next year Captain Mitchell says "the team will be under some disadvantage on account of not being able to get good grounds near the institute, but there will probably be sufficient space left on the Union grounds to ensure good practice.
