Some guardsmen at- tended the game, but heretofore there Tave been exercises, which permitted e authorities to pay the transporta- n of the organizations desiring to tend in a body. This year no com- imentary seats were issued, due to the urgent need of funds by the Third Corps Area to finance the foot ball pro- am and to promote athletics.
