COLUMBIA MEN AROUSED
Air Grievance Now Against the
Basketball MANAGEMENT.

Columbia students are aroused over the
| refusal Of the basketball management 10
! honor athletic cards issued by the Uni
Verslty Athletic Association at the basket
ball game between the Columbia freshmen
and the Mackenzie School team, which was
played as a preliminary to tie Cornell
Princeton game in the Columbia gymna-
SUM on Saturday
Membership in the athletic association en-
titles the students 10 admittance 10 all home
! games on the Columbia court, and the re-
fusal of the basketball management to ac-
cept the tickets has laid the association
open to attacks by all Of its members. The
freshman class has an especial case against
the basketball management because the
members Of the first year class had been
persistently urged TO support their team by
attending the game.
The Spectator" in an editorial article
criticises severely the action Of the basket
BAH management and says:
Upon presentation OF the Athletic Asso-
citation cards hold rs were not admitted,
ana no one il 10 bc blamed for the breach
Of contract but the basketball manage
ment. In connection with the abolition OF
lacrosse last week we commented on the
benefits 10 bs derived from the smooth
working together OF the different parts Of
the organization Here II an example OF
IN dangers that result from the opposite
state Of affairs. BY courtesy of the Ath-
letic Association, two other institutions
were permitted 10 meet I'm the Columbia
gymnasium We can hardly picture either
obi 'ctiOn TO the use Of the tickets. Tho
trouble all arose on this campus, and we
respectfully suggest that for the best in
terestS Of all concerned the basketball
management and all other managem 'nts
hereafter pay a little more attention to
the obligations OF their holding corpora
ton and less TO the whims of their minds
