...point further, which is raised with some hesitation, is the question of complimentary and preferential tickets. No one will deny that the players and substitutes have earned their right to extra tickets. Outside of these comparative few, it seems hard to understand how the concrete part of four of the best sections in the Stadium (in case of the Princeton game) should be filled by the invited guests of coaches, officials, former players, and other privileged applicants...
