Profitable Sports at
Princeton University
Speeiol to The Telegraph

Princeton, n. j., Dec. 23.-Football
and baseball were the only sclf-sup-
porting branches of athletics al Prince
ton last year, according to the annual
report of the Athletic Association,
which was made public yesterday. The
report covered the period from July
IL, 1918, to July 10, 1914. The figures
for the past football season are not
yet complete, but in 1913 football
netted the association $3S,S44.33, while
in baseball last pring $9,31S.52 was
cleared. The s4S,OO0 from these two
sports had TO be applied to track,
crew and the minor sports which do
mot make their running; expenses.
An interesting part of the report is
the small amount which Princeton
spent on crew last pring, only S3,-
955.24 being expended Football in
1913 cost 0,3S0,13, OF which the
largest items were for guarantees,
S3,S17.43; travelling expenses. ST.
S29.40; coaching. S5,516.54: suits and
supplies S2,075.42. The total revenue
for football was $59.22i46.
Baseball yielded S25,S11.6S and cost
SIG, ,493.16. Track athletics were run
at a loss of $4.561.49. The freshman
teams exceeded their revenue by S3,-
1851. Hockey, which two years ago
was nearly a self-supporting sport
had a deficit of s643.69. but s3S4.SO is
still due from the New Haven rink
which brings the actual loss to S25S.S9

Offering. The familiar old friend makes
his appearance each afternoon this
week up until Christmas Day, and
each time he appears he distributes his

doesn't weaken the statement that 1t
will please the grownups Just as well.
Talent, merit and clever variety abound
throughout the bill and the big chill
