HARVARD MAKES MONEY
FROM ITS ATHLETICS
.,Sbeeial to The Telegraph

Cambridge, Mass, March 5.-Total
receipts from all athletic sports at
Harvard during 1928 were $155,-
$50, the report of w. F. Garcelon
states. while the expenses were
S125.000.
AS usual, the greater portion of the
profit was from football, amounting to
$4,000, out of receipts of almost
5000. Baseball showed balance
on the right side of $1,000, while in
track athletics there was loss OF
$1,000. The cost of rowing. which
yields no cash return, was $4,000.
Hockey after year as major sport,
returned profit of 800. Each of the
minor sports showed deficit.
Analysis OF the figures shows that to
train a varsity oarsman through a
season means an expense of about
$1,100. Football players expenses
are about $1,000 each.
A baseball player can be trained
for 5000, a track athlete for $500 and
hockey player for somewhat less
than 5000.

CONCRETE BUILDINGS
DIFFICULT TO WRECK
Use of Dynamite and oxy-Acetylene
Torch Is Found Eff
fective.

n few years ago no one Gave much
thought to such matters as the wreck
ing of reinforced concrete buildings to
make room for new structures. At that
time concrete buildings were deemed
permanent, and it was taken for grant
ed that very few concrete buildings
would ever have to be torn down.
Progress in building has shown that
concrete structures will in the future
have to be wrecked to make way for
modern structures. For this reason
the following method of wrecking two
different concrete buildings will be of
special interest to structural engineers
says the Cement World
In wrecking a one-story reinforced
concrete building of the beam-and-gir-
der type in Baltimore, recently. small
charges of dynamite were used at the
top and bottom of all columns. to sever
them from the girders. The girders.
torn loose by the charge of dynamite,
dropped to the ground and were read
lily broken up. The floor slabs were
broken up by means Of heavy sledges
before destroying the girder connec-
tions with columns. The dynamite
severed the column connections, and
after dropping to the ground. they
were broken UP with sledges. The
cost of wreckfng this structure
amounted to about 400 per cubic yard
of concrete contained therein.

Signs on Main Ways.
From the Boston Herald.


Since the advent OF the automobile
there has been a gratifying increase
of signs both at city corners and at
remote country crossroads. But there
is one phase of this sign revival
which has been neglected. and it is
a matter of much Importance not only
to the automobile tourists but also to
strangers or temporary sojourners
within the community concerned. This
is the lack of signs that tell the name
of the main thoroughfares through our
cities and villages. In Boston, for ex-
ample, and in most of the numerous
cities and towns of this part of Massa-
chusetts there are signs at practically
every corner to tell the name of the
side street, but in many cases for a
stretch of miles there is no sign to
give the stranger information as to
the main highway itself.
The omission is based on the as
sumption that any traveller going from
town to town knows the main streets,
and can find his way from one to an
corners which tell the distances and
them there are frequent opportunities
ton. But 1t is an assumption con-
trary to fact. The main thorough
fares are often winding to a confusing
degree, and to one unfamiliar with
the mthere are frequent opportunities
OF making the wrong turn. The guide
of these principal thoroughfares. and
the lack of signs to tell the stranger
when he is on them and when he has
left them is often very annoying

there is any general method or tech
