Football Big Business
For Shaw Last Season

Football was really big business
for Shaw High School in 1856, any
way one views it. The Shaw Ath-

Of which $8.752.02 is net profit.
This is in sharp contrast to the
1855 receipts which dipped to a
low Of S4,68S.98 and the almost
as low 1854 figure Of $7,12911.
Euclid High, as was to be ex-
