M'DERMITT IN LIMELIGHT

st. Benedicts Prep. School basket
ball team found the De La Sale
School five of New York an easy
proposition yesterday afternoon on
the De La Sale court in New York,
winning by a score of 5S to 10. Last
year the De La Sale team was
championship one, having disposed
of some of the strongest teams In
New York. The passing and accu-
rate shooting of the Newarkers, es-
pecially Frank NcDermit and An
thony Pengitore, was too much for
the home team. McDermit, as usual,
located the basket from various parts
of the court He scored % points,
ten field goals and two free throws.
Pengitore, who at one time repre-
sented Orange High School on the
courts, scored nine field goals and
two free throws.
After leading by a score of 30 to
at the end of the first half the st.
Benedict boys eased up a trifie, al
though they kept passing the ball
rapidly for. the first part. The st.
Benedict lads played great ball, con-
sidering the fact that 1t was their
second game of the season. Lloyd
Flarity and Eddie Gilhooley worked
well at guard, and Frank Baader
contributed to the score with four
field goals. On the whole, Coach
Frank Hill was decidedly pleased
with the showing of his charges.

TWO SPORTS PAID
WELLFOR NASSAU
Football and Baseball Proved
Most Profitable, Track Ath-
letics Most Costly.
WARNER AT PITTSBURGH

The financial report of the Prince
made public yesterday, shows
that football and baseball are
the only sports at Princeton
that are self-supporting, all
of the others being financed from the
profits on these two. The football
figures for this year are not included
In the statement, which covers the
period from July II, 1913, to July 10,
1874.
The football revenues in 1913
amounted to s5s,224.46, of which $751;
$1e,85e.69 from the Harvard contest.
Tho expenses amounted to S20,3SO,1S,
leaving balance of s3S,S44.53. Coach
Ing was the largest item in the ac-
count, S5,516.54, while the guarantees
amounted to $3,S17.43. Travelling ex-
penses took $2,s2s.4o, and suits and
supplies, $2,075.42. The baseball rev.
enues were $24,295.46, and the expenses,
Sl6,493.06. Guarantees and travelling
expenses and coaching were the big
items.
Track Athletics Costly.
Track athletics were run at the
greatest cost, exceeding its revenues
BY 4,561.49. One of the most notice
able items is the small expenditure for
crew, the total amount being less than
$4,000, which is less than third of the
amount that is spent at Harvard and
Yale. The deficit in rowing was $1,000,
the balance being made up by sub
scriptions In the Rowing Association.
The freshman teams are run at
quite a cost, as last year they ran
over their receipts by $3,425.37.
Freshman football expenses amount
ed to SO, 3,210.44, and baseball, $2,23S.97.
Hockey, which two years ago proved
to be almost self-supporting, shows
deficit of s643.o6, part of which is due
to the extended trip to Canada. There
is an interesting note on the hockey
report, which shows that S3S4.S0 is still
due Princeton from a guarantee from
the New Haven rink for the Yale
Princeton game last February. This
makes the actual deficit S25S.S9.
