' Increasing Cost of Equip-- raent Given as Reason for Charging $7 for Seaton. NEW TORK, Aug. It. Harvard announced a boost In the price of Its 1981 football season tickets a few days ago. The derision of the Cambridge gridiron authorities to charge $7 for their eea son tickets this year Is based upon the same conditions which have- - been playing such havoc with tha athletic efforts of all colleges since the war.

Were It not for the Interest of a few alumni generally expressed In the coin of the realm very few cambueea would be able te operate vanity team. A glance at the more common problems which tha collega football manager constantly faces may explain Harvard's action. First of all, thkre great amount of equipment needed by a university football eleven.
