STATISTICS OF YALE TICKETS

The applications for tickets to the Harvard-Yale football game this year exceeded all previous figures, and have kept a staff of sometimes as many as, sixty men working night and day in the Athletic Office. The approximate seating capacity of the Stadium is 35,000, and the total number of applications received was 47,183. Of these, Yale received 16,000 seats. The Harvard applications therefore, amounting to 31,183, had to be cut down to 19,000, that is, approximately only two-thirds of the Harvard applications were filled. As it is now, 12, 183 Harvard applications remain unfilled. There were 1,358 applicants for one seat, 23,999 applicants for two seats, and the remaining were borrowed applications which were not touched at all.

The order in which the applications were filled has been calculated to meet the demand in the fairest possible way. The applications filled first were those which applied for one seat, and they were filled in the following order: (1) undergraduates who are holders of H. A. A. tickets; (2), undergraduates who are not holders of H. A. A. tickets; (3) graduates of the College; (4) graduates of the professional schools, who have not graduated from the College proper. The applications for two seats were next filled in precisely the same order as the one-seat applications. All applications for one seat, mentioned in the four groups, were filled, and those two-seat applications as far as the fourth group namely, graduates of the professional schools, and these were filled as far as possible. The officers of the University are classed with the undergraduates in respect to the order in which their applications were filled.

All questionable ticket applications were filled in proper order and marked "hold," in which case the applicant will have to justify his right to the tickets. Any of the questionable tickets, which are not justified, will come back to the Athletic Association, and go towards filling the remaining applications in the order stated above. So far $75 has been lost in short postage.

All letters containing tickets went down to the Cambridge Post Office last night and as soon as possible they will be sorted and distributed. Notices of the receipt at the Post Office of registered letters containing tickets addressed to those students living in that part of Cambridge supplied by the Cambridge Post Office, will be sent out beginning tomorrow, and the delivery of tickets will begin as soon thereafter as is practicable for the Post Office authorities. The letters will not be delivered by carriers, but must be called for personally at the Post Office. These notices will not alone be considered sufficient means of identification and students must therefore bring their Bursar's cards. H. A. A. tickets, or other well-known means of identification. To facilitate rapid delivery of letters, men are requested to call at the Post Office for them immediately upon receipt of notices. The Post Office will be open for delivery between 8 A. M. and 6 P. M. daily.
