much to the latter's detriment. That
there has been little change In the sit
uation In recent season* Is clearly evi
denced by these current athletic as
sociation financial reports Football
Is still the big money maker and tne
sport that supplies the funds for the
support of a majority of the other
athletic teams eaeli year.
Some Idea of the amount of money
received and disbursed by the loot bail
authorities during a season of approxi
mately ten weeks may be gathered
from eth annual reports of the Prince
ton and Harvard athletic associations
These financial statements, so far as
football is concerned, refer to the sea
son of Ik 12. but since there Is not
much deviation from a general aver
uce they serve all practical purposes
when tised on a comparative basis.
Princeton gate receipts for nine games
amounted to 367.313. of which 341.933
or more than one-half was received as
tho Tigers' share of the Yale Harvard
and Dartmouth games. The six c-'re
lents with minor colleges netted
Princeton but 35.379, an average of
less than 11,000 per game A source
of revenu.e In addition to the gate ie
relpta, was the training table, the
plavVrs paying stis6 for hoard white
the football programs netted 3414,
All Other.
Against this revenue were expenses
amounting to 336.064, showing a bal
ance of 332,322, far In excess of tho
net receipts of all other sports com
bined. The various items of expend!,
turea furnishes an Insight .nto the
wide range of acivlty and outlay nec
essary In connection with tho staging
of a big varsity football campaign.
Princeton spent 33,2*1 In traveling ex
penses and guarantees given other
teams The services of coaches cost
3.,316; suits and supplies 31.637. Hub
bers, physicians and medical supp les
required an outlay of 3’SS Payments
made to those serving as offleia's at
the nine games scheduled amounted to
31.038, Printing, advertising, tele
grams and telephone bills totalled
while the expenses uX manager

and captain were s't down ns 3267.
One of the biggest items was the re
pairs and upkeep of the wooden stands
surrounding the football field, 310.423
being expended for (his purpose, which
explains the present agitation for a
permanent concrete stadium at
Princeton.
No other sport at Princeton ap
proached thes figures either in re
ceipts or expenses. Baseball cost 313,-
034, while receipts were 325,693, leav
ing a balance of 310.639. Tie* track
at.d field team showed a net loss of
33,982: gymnastic association 3268;
basketball 3402; swimming 3714;
wrestling 3918 and rowing 3166 Hock
ey showed a profit of 3*5, which puts
the lee sport in the financial catagory
with football and baseball at Prince
ton.
•
Similar Conditon s
At Harvard similar conditions pre
vailed. Football receipts amounted to
1114.864, against expenses of 330,151.
showing that while the Crimson pro
fits were 346.478 greater than at
Princeton, the expenses were 35.913
less .but it must be taken into con
sideration that Harvard with Its con
crete stadium escaped the wooden
stand upkeep necessary at Princeton.
Baseball at Harvard was a money
maker to the etxent of 36.396. while
hockey made 3312.
The new scoring rule adopted by the
Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic As
sociation of America, giving five
points for first; four for second; three
for third; two for fourth and one for
fifth place In track meets finds gen
eral favor In the eastern college ath
letic world. The Harvard Crimson
states editorially:
•’lt Is no wonder. In view of the elab
orate appartus and severe regimen of
training required for modern colege
athletic competition, that participa
tion in athletics is confined to those
who have some chance of becoming
first rank men In some one line. It
Is an evil incident to high specialisa
tion that the average man Is ruled out.
Just a Trifling Error on the Swami’s Part
That it is an evil to have college ath
letics restricted to the few possibili
ties of winners any advocate of ath
letics as a wholesome place of college
activity will agree.
“The recommendation of the I. A A.
seems, therefore, particularly timely.
Group competition should encourage
the lay student to ‘come out’ as he
does not now. Further it ought to
broaden the area of competition inas
much as the small colleges and the
western colleges which have less
chance tinder what might be called
the capitalistic system of athletics will
now have more of a reasonable pros
pect of ’placing.' It is to be hoped
that an effort will be made to bring
in some of our western friends’’

said that Oranitevllle had one of the
best degree teams in the state. Those
i who did not go, missed a treat. A
committee from the lodge met the

Situation.
City of Mexico. —John Lind, Presi
dent Wilson’s envoy, may make a trip
Mexico controlled by the Federals, as
a result of his conference at Vera Cruz
with the Mexican foreign minister,
Jose Lopez Portillo y Rojas. The re
commendation was made by the min
ister, who said Mr. Lind appeared fav
orably impressed.
Senor Portillo y Rojas said Mr.
Lind called on him, but with the
knowledge that he had no official
standing as regarded theinterview.
The foreign minister's conference
with Mr. Lind will not have the effect
of bringing about the resignation of
President Huerta, the possibility of
which has been fll# ussed. This sub
ject was considered according to a
statement made by the minister to
night.
“We talked at some length concern
ing the relations of our private per
sonages. Mr. Lind understood that I
brought no commission from President
Huerta. I made no proposition re
garding the retirement of General
Huerta fro.n the presidency. I do not
know that consideration ever has been
given to such a project.

Those having personal knowledge of
the Vera Cruz conference appear high

Meanwhile, President Huerta's finance

to raise more money, and the minister

President Huepta seems full of ener

plans of administration indefinitely.
Almost every organization in the cap

to report for drill at fixed periods.
The cabinet officers have been given
the rank of brigadier generals, and
the sub-secretaries have been appoint
