VARSITY SPORT COSTL

New York, March 23.-The recent
publication of the various college
athletic associations annual financial
statement brings wildly TO mind again
the large sums of money received and
expended in the course of a year for
the support of varsity sport. These
reports also point with unerriIg aim &c
the sports and competitions watch, 10
cause of popular favor and attraction
not only pay for themselves but carry
the burden of others wherein the eX
penditures are far in excess of all re-
ceipts and subscriptions.
Some years ago. during the perioI
when football was subjected to a bit
ter attack, a famous defender of the
game declared boldly that football. de-
spite all the sins charged against il,
made possible all the college sports
which the reformers were constantly
comparing with the gridiron game,
much TO the latter's detriment. That
there has been little change in the sit
uation in recent seasons is clearly evil
denced by these current athletic as
sociation financial reports. Football
is still the big money maker and the
sport that supplies the funds for the
support of a majority of the other ath-
letic teams each year.
Some idea of the amount OF money
received and disbursed by the football
authorities during a season of approx
mated 10 weeks may be gathered from
the annual reports OF tine Princeton
and Harvard athletic associations.
These financial statements, so far as
football is concerned. refer to the sea
son of 1912. but since there is no much
deviation from a general average they
serve all practical purposes when
used on a comparative basis. Prince
ton gate receipts for nine games
amounted to s67.313. of which s41.933
or more than one-half was received as
the Tigers share of the Yale. Harvard
and Dartmouth games. The six con-
tests with minor colleges netted
Princeton but s5.379, an average of
less than $1,000 per game. A source
of revenue, in addition to the gate re-
CENTS. was the training table, the play
ers paying 1856 for board while the
football programs netted s414.
Against this revenue were expenses
amounting to S36.Os4. showing bal
ance OF s32.322, far in excess OF the
net receipts of all other sports COM
bfued. The various items OF expendi-
tures furnishes an insight into the
wide range OF activity and outlay nee
essary in connection with the staging
Of a big varsity football campaign.

won 10 of them. Seven of the IA
games that had been played away from

DISCONTINUE SLANG
IN HARVARD PAPER

Cambridge, Mass, March 23.-Har-
ward will have none of the current
baseball slang when the season opens.
The powers of the Harvard Crimson
which is the undergraduates daily
newspaper of the college. have decid-
ed that hit will be called a hit in
the columns of the Crimson hereafter
and no synonyms will be just as good.
In the first place, the word SO dear
to the space account of the under
graduates correspondent will be
barred. VARSITY" is the trisyllable in
question.
In the Crimson, Harvard will have
university baseball team" not a
varsity combination" The men will
steal bases instead of ''purloining,"
differing or "swiping" them. The
batters will hit the ball to the out
field instead of smuggling the pill to
the gardens; In short, Harvard
Crimson will tell its readers just
what happened.
The undergraduate reporters of the
paper will be taught to write the
games as they write their English
themes for the college courses.

FOUR SOX RECRUITS
WILL BE RETAINED

San Francisco, Cal, March %
Four players with the White SoX sec
onds in all probability will be retained
when the American league season
starts Several others are of major
league caliber, but the work of this
quartet has stood out most promi-
nently.
The new men who look best up to
date are Blackburne, who is hardly a
new man at that; DAILY, who made the
worlds tour with Comiskey, and Bar
bour and Halstein, infielders.
Blackburne is playing in the form
he displayed when he first came to
the Sox from Providence in 1910, be-
fore he wrenched his knee. He has
been hitting the ball the best of any
of the Goofs, and apparently is as
much at home at second as at short
stop. 1t looks as if Joe Berger will
have to pick up a lot in batting over
his work of last year or Blackburne
will get the regular berth at second
base by April IA.

New York, March 23.-Grape Juice
Bill the much advertised llama, a
gift from the Museo Social de Argen-
tina and the mayor of Buenos Ayres to
William Jennings Bryan, may ignom-

has foot and mouth disease and can
not be admitted. He was ordered
sent back, like any other undesirable
alien. but instead he may be dumped
into the unsympathetic waters of the
Atlantic outside the three-mile limit
The mayor of Buenos Ayres heard
the American secretary of state say
that he would very much like an Ar
gentine llama, and so the mayor pick

and whitest beast of the sort that
could be corralled.
With Bill came to the United
States five other llamas.' But none

Through his white hair runs streaks
of gold. He holds his head erect;
in fact, his neck seems to swell with
pride. His two front teeth glisten like
a Somali beauty's.
But all these points of excellence
we're overlooked by the inspectors
when they saw that Bill was ill. They
said he'd have to go back, and pro-
nounced the same sentence on the
other llamas-

AUCUSTANA EASY
FOR PURPLETEAM
Northwestern Five Proves Too
Fast For Locals in Final
Game of Season.

Northwestern college, by its speed
and aggressiveness, won from Angus
tana in the basketball game Saturday
night by the score of SO to q. The
game throughout was one of the best
exhibitions of real basketball seen on
the local floor this season. Although
Northwestern was always in the lead
yet the locals were within winning dis
tance at all times. The score at the
end of the first half was 16 to IS in
favor of the visitors. Twice did Au-
gustant make a squirt and almost even
up the score but each time their OPP
ponents strengthened their defensive
tactics that held the gold and blue in
check Coach Conrad believes that
had Augustana met Northwestern ear
lier in the season the score would
have been at least much closer and
possibly in Augustana's favor as the
men have been somewhat crippled by
the strenuous tournaments at Peoria
and Bloomington.
Samuelson, the new forward who was
tried out in the tournament at Peoria
was the high score maker for Angus
tana. The close guarding of Berg and
Johnson deserve special mention.
One feature of the game which set the
audience wild was a basket thrown by
Stem at distance of about 40 feet.

One of the biggest items was the re-

basketball $4O2; swimming s714;

Hockey showed a profit of SIS, which
puts the ice sport in the financial
category with football and baseball at
Princeton.
AT Harvard similar conditions pre-
vailed. Football receipts amounted TO

showing that while the Crimson pro-
fits were S4S.47S greater than at
Princeton, the expenses were S5.913

sideration that Harvard with its con-

stand upkeep necessary at Princeton.
Baseball at Harvard was a money
maker to the extent of S6,396, while
