Council Urges More Gamins At Grid Tilts

"The Athletic Association would let more young Boston boys into football games than it has in the past if the children were well chaperoned," Thomas W. Unverferth '51, co-chairman of the Student Council Welfare Committee, said last night.

Unverferth, acting for the Student Council had recommended to HAA Director William J. Bingham '16 that enough local gamins be let into home games to fill up the empty end zone seats. He said Bingham told him that the kids are more trouble than they are worth unless very carefully chaperoned.

"Bingham is worried about the kids taking the wrong scats and their getting involved in pickpocket incidents," Unverferth said, "so he will release seats only to groups invited by PBH."

Phillips Brooks House, which sponsored the admission of 100 to 800 boys at each of three games this season, let in only established groups of children such as settlement groups, scout troops, and YMCA groups, with the regular advisors as chaperones.

"We receive plenty of tickets for nearly all of the social organization that want to send their boys to one game each year," Jed Dreifus '50, co-chairman of the PBH Social Service Committee, said last night.
