81 900 A MAN FOR FOOTBALL.
Expense of Harvard Team During
Season is Close to $35,OO0.

Season is Close to $4,000.
One thousand dollars per player
for an eight-week season is what
it costs Harvard to turn out a high
class football team. This does not
mean $1,000 for an eleven, but
nearer $4,000 for squad of
about thirty-five men.
The high cost of living is blam-
ed for the big price of gridiron
gladiators, for the s1,0O0-mark per
man was never reached until last
season. This year, with the cost of
living still growing, it is expected
to come nearer the 200 mark
for gridiron player.
In commenting upon the critic
ism over the expenditure of S127,-
945.99 for Harvard athletics during
the years 1900-10, the Harvard Bull
letin says:
THE same is large, no doubt, and
it represents an increase of several
thousand dollars over the expense
of the year preceding. But the
high cost of living seems to be a
spear that knows no brother, and II
costs a good deal more to put
through any schedule of games to-
day than it did a few years ago.
Football costs nearly one-quar-
ter of the whole outlay, and If the
permanent squad be reckoned as
containing thirty or thirty-five men,
it took about $1,000 per player to
put the team through it's season Of
seven or eight weeks"
The Bulletin comments upon the
gap existing between the require
ments of admission to Harvard and
the ordinary curriculum of the New
England public high school.
"Of this unfortunate fact there
can be 70 serious question and
it is a situation which no college
can permanently afford to tolerate.
II the schools will not come to the
college, (and there is no reasonable
ground for expecting that they
wild, then the college had better
go to the schools.
otherwise it will pay the penal
ty for its lack of adjustment by a
steady hold upon what ought to
be the chief feeders of the fresh
men class, the public high schools
of New England"

NOVEL USE OF BILLBOARD.
Bank Tries to Stop Run With It
Next Door Merchant Benefits.

During a recent run on a Western
bank a billboard was set up in the
street where the line of depositors
were gathered and its frank statement
OF the banks condition did much to
restore confidence.
Many people dropped out OF the
line after reading the sign, which
bore this legend: "This bank can pay
every dollar on deposit. It is one of
the strongest banks on the Pacific
coast. 1t has been your friend. Jeal-
GUS competitors have worked to bring
you here. Every person in this line
should show their loyalty by leaving
at once. Your money is safe. Why
then remain here doing an unkind
and foolish thing? Break ranks"
The run lasted thirty-six hours, but
the bank stood the strain and re-
mained solvent.
An enterprising merchant took ad-
vantage of the incident to secure a
novel advertisement for his store. II
happened, says the Bookkeeper, that
he was prepared to move into the ad-
Joining building, and the picture OF

quarters. A cut of this picture was

An Experimentation.

In spite of the fact that no maga-
zine muckraker has yet detected the
hand of j. Pierpont Morgan in the
organization of a trust among the
hens,t he market page of The CITI-
zen continues recording a voluptu-
Gus price.
IL is disconcerting. Just when we
were almost persuaded by some
young men of the magazines that
our whole economic system is at
the mercy of j. Pierpont, along
comes an emphatic denial from the
hen that she has been morganized.
She does il, too, with complete in
difference to the magazine trust

pictured profound repose by putting

there was no one on board who

very light in complexion and was

robe OF many colors, with sleeves SO
short that her arms were exposed to
