...total number of tickets printed for this game is 33,774. In order to place all applicants for seats on an equality, no free list was established. All tickets that have left the hands of the Graduate Manager have been paid for. They are allotted...

The fifth group of the first table received their tickets by lot, giving preference to the members of the Graduates' Athletic Association.

The accusation that some of the players and coaches have sold their tickets to speculators is probably without foundation. When we consider that undergraduates have all been offered good prices for their tickets, it speaks well for their sense of honor that so few of them...
