Box Office

In the process of holding them, Yale football men at New Haven added $1,015,705.31 to the University Athletic Association this past fiscal year. This fortune, considered the most money ever collected by a college box office, paid for every other sport at Yale. The net surplus was $41,541.08.

Liniment, railroad fare, telegrams, spiked shoes, coaches' salaries were so costly that every other sport showed a deficit. Crew cost Yale the most, $65,618; the Gun Club, least expensive, was a $651 luxury. Visiting teams pocketed a third of the huge football monies. The rest went toward promoting adequate padding and feed for Yale athletes, toward athletic education, toward that potent plank in every college sales talk, "Athletics-for-All."
