One of the biggest surprises in several
years about ,Northport, Long Island, came
the other day when the announcement Of
the marriage Of Miss Belle Pauline Brown.
The prettest girl In that burg, 70 Frank
Yamaki. a japanese, was made.
The couple were married on July l6 last
but so well had their secret been kept that
not even the family OF the young woman
knew anything OF the wedding until today.
The couple left for their honeymoon trip
this afternoon.
The bridegroom is wealthy. and his
parents own considerable property In Japan

of about three months work, looked very
big. though it has been surpassed in
number of instances.
Last year Head Coach Williams is re-
ported to have received 5000 for the same
work. and had the help of nine men, all
OF whom received pay ranging from 500
TO $1,000. PENIS coaching certainly could
not have cost less than $1,000.
This year. in addition to having the
same high-priced coaching system with
Byron Dickson in charge Penn will have
the services of the highest priced trainer
in the business, Mike Murphy, formerly Of
Yale, who is admittedly the greatest de-
veloper OF athletic talent this country has
ever seen.
Murphy is to look after the base ball and
track and field men, as well as the grid
iron stars. For this he will get 5000 a
year, and for signing the contract that
took him from Yale to Penn he was made
a present of n house.
Yost, Of Michigan, certainly does not
make less than 5000 yearly out of foot

what Yale spends.

The Yale books show that foot ball at
New Haven last year cost almost $27 900.
This sum Of money represents merely
the operating expenses, and does not take
into account the outlay for building up
the athletic plant or the salaries of
coaches.
It is a virtual certainty that the Ellis
were not able to maintain their high priced
staff of foot ball experts. and keep them
from other lines of employment for less
than $4,000, and when to this sum is added
another $4,000 as an average of what the
playing field is worth, and what the i'm
provements and erection OF stands ETC.,
cost, it is safe to say that at Yale alone
foot ball costs as much money as the presi-
dent of the United States receives for his
yearly salary.

Yale, Pennsylvania and Michigan. The

YnIe.. ItemiZed Account.

1t is interesting TO examine into the
things for which all this money is ex-
pended. The list furnished by Yale is fairly
typical
This shows that railroad fare for the
season cost $1,000; hotel and meals, $3.50;
merchandise and sporting goods, 1915;
shoes and repairs. Sl,O65; training table.
1881: printing and stationery. $685.; stenog-

labor and material at field, $3.50; trophies,

It is more than likely that the current
season will see big increase in the above
amounts. Princeton and Harvard are cs-
pecially likely TO plunge in for big sums.

Foot BaII the Paying Game.

Foot ball. essentially the college game,
and one in which the professional has not
been able to establish himself, naturally
has to bear the brunt of the expense of the
athletic department. 1t draws the people
TO the games, and from It flows the golden
stream that keeps the machinery of the
athletic branch Of the university in mo-
ton. The sums annually expended In sup
port OF athletics at the great schools Of
America mount high into the thousands
and most of it comes from the foot ball
games In Nebraska. for example, the re-
ceipts from all sources for the benefit OF
athletics during Sthe school year of 19O4-O6
were $4,000 foot ball contributed $3.50 and
all other forms of sport brought in but
S4Oo. This proportion is just about main
tanned throughout the country, and>this in
measure accounts for the Importance
placed on the varsity eleven by the stu
dent body and the athletic department It
is the handspring that keeps all the other
branches of sport alive.
Expenses for the maintenance OF the foot
ball team are essentially higher than for
the others. More men are required to
carry on the sport successfully, travelling
and hotel bills run higher, and the recent
practice of engaging professional coaches
has added another big item to the bill.
Some figures recently collected will afford
a better idea Of the financial transactions
OF the schools.

Smaller Schools an the game.

The sums mentioned above are those
spent by the bigger colleges. In proportion
the smaller ones are equally lavish. 1t took
