RECEIPTS EXCEED OUTLAY

1.-THE annual budgets of the athletic
interests of the universities conspicu'
Gus in rivalries, are both interesting
and impressive" says Ralph D. Paine
in the April Outing.
whether the large amounts spent
to maintain sport on the campus are a
profitable investment is a question OF
wide range. 1t is true, however,
that our modern athletic plants
would make our fathers gasp. and
their cries of extravaganza might
find answering echoes among some OBJ
servers of present conditions. The lat
est report of athletic finances at Yale
is selected for brief analysis only be
cause it is handiest for reference. The
budget of Harvard or Pennsylvania or
Wisconsin would show the same sort
of outlay in kind, and furnish similar
ground for generalization.
"The total receipts for the past year
were $106, 1866, and the total outlay
was $75,174.43, leaving net surplus OF
$31, ,222.23. These are big figures for
sport which the unprejudiced die
tionary defines as "a patriotic game OF
play pursued for diversion, especially
an athletic or outdoor game or amuse-
ment; also. opportunity for sporting in
this sense
"a first-class football team is as
costly matter as an up-to-date rae
ing stable, or a fair-sized yacht. In
order to place eleven young men in
the field again Princeton and Harvard
last autumn, $26,996.O6 was spent, or
more than $4,000 head. To fit eight
youths to row against Harvard, a test
of twenty minutes, cost Yale $16,626.S5,
or $4,000 a head, not counting the cox
swain. This is boat-racing at a cost
of the best part of $1,000 a minute.
THE football team were equipped
with the greatest possible care. Their
shoes would indicate to the rank out
slider that a team of centipedes were
in training. Uniforms and the armor
of the football warrior cost $3,7S5.52 or
nearly 800 for each of the squad. Ho-
tel bills and meals away from the
training table cost the Yale treasury
$5,3eO.42. Carriage hire involved an out
lay of 1894. The baseball squad re-
quired $2,793,13 worth of merchandise
and sporting goods. or about $1OO
worth of uniforms and shoes per man.
Twenty years ago Yale football cost
$2,792.36 and there were great elevens
in those days. Today this would not
pay for uniforms and other wearing
gear, and is little more than twice
the bill for shoes alone, and almost
$4,000 less than the sum needed to
put the team in shape for a champion
ship game.
I'm a recent year. the Yale football
squad was supplied with 200 footballs,
1S9 pairs of stockings, 437 elbow and
shoulder pads 70 sweaters. 81 nose
guards. 167 jerseys, 40 undershirts and
1O7 pairs of shoes.

must be in certain position. If they
of punching you on the face, jaw or
body and defeating you. In wrestling
there are nearly as many guards and
counters as in boxing, only they are
executed in a different way. In evad-
ing a hold or a trip, If the style Is
catch-as- s-catch-can, the arms must be
kept in constant motion just the same
as in boxing. SO you see if a person
knows anything about boxing the
knowledge is a great help. You can
do and you can ward off any intended
holds by countering with your arms.
Then, again, boxing develops the legs,
makes the eye quick and serves to per-
feet the wind, all of which are essen
tial to the wrestler.
Says White Is Clever
"Outside of Gunner Moir Australia
does not possess many good heavy
weight fighters There are plenty OF
little men, clever and all that, but they
are not the drawing cards that the big
men are. The public likes boxing over
there, but, strange to say, the wrestling
matches draw larger crowds. They
have very few good native wrestlers,
but couple of grapplers came from
India and their presence helped to
boom the spot. They claimed to be
very strong md all that, but 1 had no
trouble in Ieating them. England has
very few boxers of reputation. I hope
to see heavyweight champion of that
country developed at some future day,
but L guess from the looks of things the
time is far distant. Jabez White is a
good man. He is not much of a
puncher. but very scientific. I saw him
box several times. Jem Bowker is all
right, but Ids style is different from
that of White. He can take good,
sound thrashing and is all right at
mixing it up, but 1 do not think that
he is as quick as White"

ing Is Most Effective Exercise.
May Try His Hand at Mitt
Game in Future

George Hackenschmidt, the wrestler,
is an enthusiast on boxing, and it
would not surprice his most intmat te
friends if the Russian Lion" would
try his hand at the game before he is
many years older. When the Russian
was in Australia a few months ago
ner Moir, whom he originally met in
England. According to Hackenschmidt,
Moir is the coming heavyweight cham"
pion and is sure to be heard from
sooner or later. Hackenschmidt said:
There is no finer exercise in the
world than boxing. Wrestling is the
most invigorating, of course, because
it is the strong mans pastime. But
when it comes to being able to act
quickly and with thoroughness and
dispatch. 1 prefer boxing. Now, my
knowledge Of the manly art is limited,
but / expect to learn more about it at
no distant date. Moir is a big, husky
fellow, with broad shoulders and a
long reach. He has a stiff punch and
can hit without getting set, knack
that 1 understand has to be acquired
before a puglist can expect to be sue
cessful. Mor does not carry extra
flesh and always is in good trim. He
did not train day for his match with
Peter Felix, the negro, who is giant
in stature. and who has been The
champion of Australia for a number
of years. Moir just left his ship for
the fight, and knocked out Felix in a
couple of rounds.
Kangaroo a Good One
Il tell you it is a fine sight to see
Moir in action. He is as speedy as a
cat, and never let's any chance escape
him. He is built somewhat like a
wrestler and is very game. l think
that he will visit America in a year,
or perhaps before that. If he does, 1
am confident that he will make a fine
impression. What chance do 1 think
he will have against Jeffries? Well, 1t
is hard to say because 1 have never
seen JelIleS uSHt. L mere 10 ilo uouul
of the American champions greatness.
He must be a wonder to be able to
escape defeat during all the time he
has been in the ring. 1 met Jeffries
the other night and was much i'm
pressed with his size and height. But
l don't think that he has the requisite
chest measurement. You know, it is
hard to judge this unless a man is
stripped, They say Jeffries is very
quick. If this is SO, 1 am puzzled,
because / cannot understand how such
brawny giant as he can get around
quickly.
"Moir used to give me lessons most
every day when was in the antipodes.
1 picked up lot of points, but l guess
l don't know enough as yet TO hold my
own with bantam. think that a
wrestler should be able to know how TO
box as well. Now. IL you have ever at
tended wrestling bout, the first thing
that we'll seasoned wrestler win do Is
to guard himself against his rivals
catching him around the waist or neck,
or to apply any kind of a lock. When
a person stands up to fight both arms
