ATHLETICS AT COLUMBIA.
The University Association Disbands
for Lack of Funds.

for Lack Of Funds.
NEW YORK. April I0.-DiscIosures that
may. tend seriously to affect sports at Co
umbia University were made yesterday
when it became known that the new Co
lumbia Athletic Association, devised by
Prof. Woodberry. chairman Of the faculty
committee on athletics. for The financial
salvation Of Columbia athletics, had been
suddenly dIsbanded and had gone cut OF
existence The official disclosure was
contained in the following announcement:
The plan OF general athletic asso-
citation at Columbia has been abandoned,
il having been found that the outstanding
bills for current expenses Of the teams
other than football would use up the en-
tire membership fund, leaving nothing for
the expenses Of football The continuance
Of football is. however, assured by the
making Of 2 cash guarantee fund by a
party of football enthusiasts among grad
yates and undergraduates.
The general OF iniou yesterday was that
the reasons vouchsafed in the foregoing
statement were hardly adequate when
the previous official statements and prom
ises were taken into consideration Ten
days ago the authorities, in the person Of
Francis S. Bangs, the general treasurer
said that It had been carefully estimated
that $3.50 would be sufficient TO carry
through the preliminary work Of football,
| lacrosse, baseball, and track, the four
interests concerned This sum they pro
posed to raise by getting five hundred
members for the new athletic association
/ at s. each If this number were obtained
the officials said tie future Of athletics
would be most prosperous. Now, sUdd n

the association must diShand. Ac;nOwl-
