About q Per Cent Decline Seen
In College Foot Ball Revenues

estimates and percentages furnished the
Associated Press revealed declines rang
ing from to so per cent within a rep
resentative group Of 20 colleges and
universities.
A small and widely separated group
reported increases, including Brown,
Purdue and Wisconsin. Columbia's re-
ceipts went up, despite some reduction
in prices, but ofi1cial figures were with
held. Oklahoma announced an increase
of $4,000 in receipts over 1881. WASH
ington University (St. Louis) and Mis-
sissippi State also reported gains In
home-game receipts, due to schedule
advantages.
The extent Of Notre Danes contri-
button to the national foot ball business
was shown by the aggregate gate OF
81 AL. 900 for all nine games played by
the Ramblers in their coast-to-coast
program. This was q reduction Of only
about 10 per cent as compared with last
years receipts Of $1,544,000, which, Of
course, were shared with Notre Danes
rivals at home and abroad.
The big Three" on the Pacific Coast
Stanford, California and Southern
California-did q much better business
than the East's old triumvirate. Prince
ton had q better season, but receipts at
Yale and Harvard fell of around 40 per
cent, The decline was only about 10
per cent among the three California
universities, although the University OF
Washington, in the Northwest reported
40 per cent drop.
Chief among the results Of reduced
revenues, the colleges indicated, will be
the scheduling Of fewer "set-up" games
for 1888, as well as general retrench-
ment or curtailment in other sports. In
some cases guarantees to visiting teams

r EXTINCTION, KY, December IA
i Maintaining his policy to make
no public statement concerning
the movement by University OF
Kentucky students to oust him as head

nation. II have no statement to make"

university, also refused to comment on
the action of the students except to
say that the policy he outlined in a
public statement at meeting with

NOT SINGLE CROWD
OF $1,000 IN 1892
Returns Are Much Less Than
Restricted Expectation
of Sport Leaders.

~HICAGO, December IA
An audit Of receipts from
~ the 1892 foot ball season
has forced Western Con-
ference universities to apply the
wise OF economy to their athletic
programs.
There was not single foot ball
crowd Of $4,000 in the conference
during the 1882 season, and such
turnouts were frequent during
more prosperous years.
The gan-Northwestern game,
with an attendance Of $4,000, and the
Ohio State Michigan game that
brought 10000, were the two largest
crowds Of the Big Ten season. Foot
ball receipts in every conference school
were far under even the restricted ex-
pectations of athletic directors, and q
serious curtailment Of intercollegiate
sports Is imperative.
Ohio State. once one OF the big loot
ball crowd schools, had Disappointing
season, with such attractions as Penn
Sylyania and Wisconsin drawing fewer
than 25000 spectators. As q result, the
Buckeyes will be represented IN inter-
collegiate competition only in basket
ball and track. A few base ball games
may be played with nearby colleges, but
golf swimming and tennis will be con-
Quoted on an intramural basis. Iowa
will reduce its athletic program until
It can be operated ON q elf-sustaining
basis Others are expected to take
similar action. particularly IN regard
to base ball, tennis. golf. wrestling,
fencing and minor games.
AHICHIGAN probably enjoyed the
lVl best foot ball season Of any Big
Ten university, but the Wolverines
will be far behind their budget. For
that reason It Is reported that Fielding
H. Yost. once a leader against all pro-
posed extra season foot ball games,
would not be unwilling for the Mich
ern California In the annual Rose Bowl
game.
Northwestern reports its income some
S75 900 under the estimate made last
Summer and Is planning general cur
tailment Of athletic expenses. Interest
and principal on the Northwestern Sta
dunn eats heavily into the Purple sports
receipts and Director X. L. Wilson is
planning to reduce several minor sports
TO an intramural basis.
In an effort to stimulate attendance
at basket ball games, nearly all Big
Ten members have reduced admission
prices to a new low level. The Gus
tomary fee for conference champion
ship games has been $l.50 for reserved
seats But Chicago has cut the tar1H
to rs cents, with a Accent general ad-
mission. Others have lowered the price
of the better seats to 81, including tax.
The majority Of conference schools
have cut salaries in their athletic de-
partments and a few are now making
q further wage adjustment.
with the retirement Of Amos Alonzo
Etagg as director Of athletics and head
foot ball coach at the University Of
chicago. an effort will be made by Big
Ten leaders to have the Grand Old
Man" made chairman Ct the Foot Ban
Rules Committee to succeed the late
Edward Hall. Stagg is the ranking
member Of the Rules Committee and
Is well qualified for the position.

CONFIDENCE IN,PRESIDENT
HOOVER

To the millions who voted for Pres
ident Hoover in 1928, with very few
exceptions, he still stands as a beacon
in the stress of these years of depres-
sion just as he did during his past ex-
periences when his great heart and
mind were tremendously active for the
welfare of mankind. Those critics who
assail him little realize what this man
has done. 1t is so easy to blame,
when these commentators would prove
weaklings were they at the helm.
The President has the confidence of
those who think, of those who know
how much he has accomplished under
terrific handicaps. That confidence
which his followers had in 1928 we
feel still exists and will persist in his
election for a second term.

ing to jar upon the Christian distri-
button of the Gospel. Large numbers
of Bibles, freely donated by the Amer
lean Bible Society, for Southern ar
mics, had been forwarded, with the
full concurrence of the proper au-
thorities to Southern destinations.
The impression that the South
would not accept such volumes had
been proven incorrect, and volumes
had even been sold for the Southern
field. In the early spring of 1868,
5000 Testaments were sent to the
Virginia Bible Society, and warm
thanks were received for them. In
May, 1868, 5000 more Testaments
were sent thither.
What an example of the unity in
spired by the pure unadultered word
of Life, as against the strife and d.
visions of ecclesiastical bodies! AL
most every Protestant church had be-
come house divided because of polit-
ical differences and sectional strife.
The Maryland Bible Society and its
great parent body, the American BIZ
BILE Society, stood like Gibralter, dem
onstrating the truth Of the Biblical
slogan-"The Word of Our God Shall
Stand Forever"
President Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation in 1868, and Maryland's
new State Constitution in 1864
brought to our State large accession
to the numbers requiring Christian
nurture. To meet the social changes
in the colored population of the State,
five colporteurs were employed and
SOAPS volumes were distributed. The
demands for Bibles from soldiers now
rapidly decreased, because of the dis
banding of large part of the emer-
gency army. The war was over, and
the Society looked forward with hope
fulness to a resumption of its more
immediate work within the State.
