An interesting part of the report is the small amount which Princeton spent on crew lat spring, only $3,0515 being expended.

The total revenue for football was J59.224. Baseball yielded S25.S11 and cost $1U93. Track athletics were run at a loss of The freshman teams exceeded tiieir revenue by $3,425. Journeay to Play At Penn in 1915 PHILADKLPHIA. Dec.
