PRINCETON NEEDS MONEY.
a Football Game With PeunsyIvanIa
Would Yield $4,000.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1O.-The Ath-
letic Association Of Princeton Univers "
finds itself in position where something
viii have TO be done to increase its
revenues in order to avoid closing the col
lege year with a deficit This fact was not
apparent to the Princeton athlete until last
week, when Treasurer w H. Andrus read
his annual repoct before the association at
its regular January meeting. Then il was
found that TIE association had a cash
balance OF only Sl9S2.26
The matter was discussed at that meet
ing. and it was decided that Princeton
would have to arrange to increase its num-
Der OF big games in order to get more
money rather than ask for increased per
sonal contributions. While all this is true
Mr.. Andrus report shows that the financial
condition Of the association was better on
last New Year day than IL was at the
close Of 1898.
In 1898 there was a defcit OF s.. coo. The
association decided then not TO ask for con-
triDutions to wipe out this deficit. but went
ahead to earn money. The success that
attended those efforts in 1899 leads TO the
belief that better success can be obtained
this year.
The heaviest drag on the association last
year was the track work Those games
cost a great deal more than was received
for them. The chief factors in the increase
Of the football receipts last year were the

to the cOIored citizens. is before he court

Mrs. Cisco's children were sent 10 the
common or public schools in that borough
but admittance was refused them on ac-
count OF their color and they were ordered
TO the separate cOlored school She re
fused to send them there. and in doing 90
she followed the plan adopted by her
husband before his death.
Mr.. Cisco vas twice tried before iury
and acquitted each time on the charge of

Assistant Corporation Counsel Carr an
peared in opposition. MIR Wallace asked
the court 20 reverse its Lewiston of 1883
He contendcd that there was great doubt
even at that time. and only four members
Of the court Joined in the decision. One
Of these, Judge Earl. Joined FIVE years
later in an opinion in another case ex-
pressing contrary views.
Mr.. Wallace contended that section 2S2
Of the Penal Code had never been PASSED
upon by the court OF appeals until after
the decision Of 1889, when ii was fully sus-
tanned By tlv highest court. This section
makes il a misdemeanOr to KEEP children
cut of any school on account of color. He
also contended that The Compulsory Edu-
cation act OF lS9f was absolutely incom-
patible with the cclor distinction in
schools.
He also contended that any color dis
tlnction had been specifically prohibited
for years past In schools of New York citv
where colored schools were permitted. but
they must be open to all without regard

Mr.. Wallace contended that this clause

that all the legislation relating to colored
people since 1859 had manifested the IN
tention OF the legislature and Of the peo-
pie Of this State TO wiDe out color distIpc-
ton. and the court OF appeals now had
the opportunity to explain to tie world
that the last vestige OF enforced color dis
