ITHACA, N. Y, Sept. 80. - The
Cornell University Athletic Associ-
alton announced today that for the
fiscal year ended August 81, it had
deficit Of $4,000. This includes
only the deficit in running expenses.
The sale of memberships in the
Athletic Association also fell.
This year special committee OF
undergraduates has been appointed
to get the membership back to nor
NAL. Graduate Manager Romeyn
Berry said the loss was caused
largely by a decline in gate re-
ceipts in every sport except foot
ball.
Three regattas on foreign waters
instead of two away and one in
Ithaca, and other expenses, required
$4,000 more. The Yale indoor
track meet was the only big at

Of picking a tentative varsity team
almost from the start. With pos

combination has been working to-
gether every day and q co-ordina-

acquired which would have heen

In particular. the backfield which
Owsley has picked seems to nave

experience, but speed and versatil.

The Navy opened last years

ent and won by IA to z. This year,
William and Mary has available
nearly all Of the regulars of last
season, and has considerable new
material Of worth. Matsu, Japa-

real backfield stars according to re-

William and Mary has been fitted
by the fact that Rockne has used
its campus and a considerable pro-
portion of it's squad in connection
with his summer school of football
for sthe past two years. Tasker,
the William and Mary coach, is a
