ATHLETICS COST
COLLEGES FORTUNE
Over One Million Dollars
Expended Last Season.
PENNSYLVANIA HEADS LIST
Quakers Separate Themselves From
COS, 52I47-Harvard Spends
But Little Less.

Athletics at universities and colleges
evidently come high. judging from the
recent report of the treasurer of the
Athletic Association.
During the past year, Pennsylvania
expended close TO SEQ, 900. which sum is
larger than that spent by any other col
lege in the country for athletics. Har-
ward came next. with about sos, eco; Chi
cago third. and Yale fourth. The sums
expended at Princeton and Columbia are
not known. as their reports of the ath-
letic association have not been made
public as yet
Some idea~of the amount Of money
that is required to keep up athletics at
the big universities can be gained from
the following list: University Of Penn
sylvania. SOS 521.47; Harvard University,
&I.l90.S6; University of Chicago. S54,-
S65.O6; Yale University, So, 600; University
of Minnesota S42. 066: University of Mich
igan, $50, GOO; Stanford University. $50
10; University of California 81, $40. 80;
cornell University, $lS,572.S1; Northwest
ern university, $4,000; University Of
Wisconsin, $l3 900. University of illinois,
$1,000; University of Kansas. SO S33: Uni
Kersity of Missouri S557.9 IS; Williams
college. $500; Amherst College. S4,2yl.l5.
Some Had Hard Luck.
4 1t viii be noted that the universities
that were successful last season spent
less money than some OF their rivals.
Yale, which won the crew races from
Harvard and the intercollegiate track
and held championships was fourth on
the list, while Princeton, which won the
football championship. is known to have
spent even less.
Michigan, the track and football lead
er in the West is well down the list
PENNSYLVANIA la I'd hot of
which lost a majority of their impor-
tant athleuc events, expended more
money than their rivals
When il is realized that more than
$lOOOOOO IS expended annually for col
legfate athletics the average follower
wonders how and where such an
amount Of money goes and who as
sumes the responsibility Of handling the
vast sums.
Sport Is Expensive.
The spectator at a big intercollegiate
contest has practically no idea what It
costs 10 develop a football eleven. crew.
baseball team. or track squad at a big
university. Training tables. athletic
SUPPLIES, racing shells. transportation.
coaches and trainers salaries and
many other details all help to swell the
expense fund
The handling of the money at a ma
soTity of the Eastern and Western col
ieGes and univA- sites Is in charge OF a
committee Of graduates who are. as n
RUE, shrewd business roen. The ac-
counts Of the undergraduate mana gers
CT the various teams are audited by
these committees and the disbursements
g ntrolled by the same hands
AS result there is little opportunity
for the managers. who. as rule, have
had little business experience before
entering college, TO make the unfOrtu-
rate financial mistakes which usually
mark the entrance Of Che novice into
the realms OF athletic mana cement.

O. BRIEN MADE Stiff

Put Western Man Out in Second Round
in Baltimore-Loser Dead
Slow.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 24.-Phhadelphia
Jack O'Brien knocked out Billy Stiff, OF
Chicago. in two rounds at the Germania
MaennerchOr Hail last night
According to the Eastern and Western
reports Of the abilities Of the two men,
they were well matched, but when they
met IN the ring the Wild West repre-
sentative made a bad showing.
Before the battle began there were Of
fers Of odds on for OBrien to win, and
when the men showed IN the ring there
were offers OF 10 for O'Brien TO win,
but there were few who took the West
crn mans md. Stiff. though an inch or
two shorter, was Of close and compact
build and looked TO be a strong fellow.
o. Brien was very quick and Stiff very
slow. But little was done IN the first
round OBrien had, however, measured
his man and found him an easy mark.
Early in the second round 'Brien put
Stiff down with right and left punches
TO the face. Stiff took a count OF eight
He had hardly regained his feet and put
his hands up when he was sent down
again for count Of nine. Stiff got up
on his feet and made a futile effort TO
night, but was not in shape TO stop a left
which landed on his jaw. sending him
down and keeping him down until Ref
cree o Hara counted ten, and the fight
was O'Prien's.

First Football Game
At Georgetown Today
Blue and Gray Meets Maryland Agricultural
CoIIege-LaCk of experienced Tackle
WeakenS Offense and Defense

Georgetown will play its first game
OF the season on Georgetown Field this
afternoon, beginning at $50.
The opponents Of the Blue and Gray
pigskin punters will be the laddiebucks
from the Ma ryland Agricultural College.
The Aggies can hardly expect 10 do more
than score on the varsity. but II IS not
at all unlikely that they will score, for
the work of the varsity has been ragged
in spots, and the team does not seem
to have beer welded together as well as
might be expected at this time Of the
year.
Coach Reilly has been handicapped by
the lack Of a good right tackle, which
has caused the switching of Captain
Mahoney from right guard TO tackle.
while Nell. a 2O0-pound new man, has
been put at guard. This change has not
worked we'll and has only been endured
because absolutely necessary. Neill
lacks the proper experience at guard,
and Mahoney is not a tackle and does
not pretend to be one. The effects OF
the lack of an experienced tackle are
evident in practice. Mahoney and Neil
cut in toward center, boxing themselves,
and leave openings through which ii is
possible an Aggio back or tackle may go
this afternoon for a long run.
Left Side Strong.
The left side of the varsity line is
stronger md more experienced. as the
NJ. A. c. boys will find this afternoon.
and II they are wise they will make few
attempts to buck or skirt X. In The
work against the scrub the left side
has held its own on defense, and has
done fairly well in offense. but at no
time has the varsity been able to chew
up the scrub line.
Speed is to be found in the varsity
among the individuals. but so far II has
not been much In evidence when the men

Crimson Doings.

CAMBRIDGE. Sept. A.-There were
things doing in yesterdays practice of
the Harvard varsity football eleven on
Soldiers Field
The men had their first drill in block
ing and breaking through. and several
changes were made in the makeup of
the first eleven. The most significant
change was shifting Phil Mills from full
back on the varsity to left tackle on
the second Mills played tackle on the
freshman eleven three years ago and in
sophomore year played end on the var
sity, while last year he was substitute
fullback- He weighs 200 pounds now and
Is bit too heavy for back of the line.
The changes In the first eleven were
McFadden for Pell. Guild for Mills, and
Means for Nesmith, making the line-up:
Blagden, left end; Meier, left tackle:
Wilder, left guard; Cuniff, center; Nc

In the diagonal formation, which Har-

not yet been any Of that. The first scrim-
mage will be held next Monday.

On the defensive there has not been
the proper cooperation between the

consequence that the greater part Of

ends with little assistance from the
tackle and back. This fault has been
