The annual Harvard-Yale football game
puts SI.010,OC0 into circulation.
The two university football associations
alone spend about $4,000 in order TO en-
able their elevens TO clash with any de-
gree Of mutual confidence. Add 70 that
amount the cost which the public incurs
IN order to witness the contest between
the great intercollegiate rivals-an inde-
terminate. but obviously very large, sum
and even the individual who is not af-
nicted with views on the Importance Of
the Harvard-Yale football match must
be impressed.
The end Of all efforts at Soldiers and
Yale fields is this event Hence any pre-
sentation OF the financial aspect Of the
November day which neglects 10 include
mention Of the expenses Of the prelim-
mary season loses sight of the fact that
the preliminary season is rightly named.
Last year Harvard spent 5000 Yale
went this figure several points better by
spending So, 600 In the previous year,
when the game was played on the sta
dium gridiron, Harvard spent $4,000
Cnc of the Big Items.
The greatest items in the expenses of
the two universities for the annual Har
vard-Yale game are those incurred by
the administration" The "administra-
ton" IS the department which looks af-
ter the promotion of football.
Yale's administration last year cost
$3.50, This money went for salaries,
labor, maintenance. renewals and repairs
The sum paid for the coach's services
was, Of course, part of the outgo. At
Cambridge Alr, Reid was recompensed,
At Yale Mr.. Camp was recompensed. Mr..
Crane. the present head coach OF the
Harvard squad, receives no financial re-
ward.
Another heavy item IS the salary Of
the trainer and the wages for his assist
ants At Yale this outlay is tabulated
partly under the expenses of the Ath-
letic Ass0ciau ton and partly under the
salaries of the administration. The price
