EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- Will you allow a word in regard to the sale of reserved seats for the ball game with Yale the day after Class Day? Last Saturday at 4 p. m. they were put on sale, when most men were at the game, and after only one notice in advance in the CRIMSON. Early that evening all the desirable seats had been sold.
Since that time I have heard a rumor given in explanation of this sudden sale of seats-namely, that before the seats were put on public sale at four o'clock on Saturday, a very large number of the seats had been disposed of by the manager in advance sale to private persons, as, for example, a large block of seats reserved for the Somerset Club of Boston, and a block of 110 seats sold to a student for himself and friends.
On inquiry at Leavitt and Peirce's, I was told that at least 350 seats (including the central block, O, between the old Pudding building and the Hospital, and about 100 seats in another block) had never been put on public sale, but were taken out in advance, being, as the manager told them, "reserved for the nine." I also have it on direct authority that members of the "nine" are allowed but five reserved seats for each game.
In view of the large number of seats appropriated for a dozen men, and the rumor abroad that part of the seats and others were disposed of in advance to private persons other than "the nine," I think it is only fair to the manager to state the case and give him an opportunity to make an explanation, which I am sure he will be glad to give and the students will be glad to hear.
GRADUATE.
