The Yale-Harvard game receipts this year totalled $160,300, the largest amount ever taken in, according to the official report of the Yale ticket department which has handled the entire distribution of tickets for the game.
The largest item in the total is $153,800 taken in from the sale of tickets. This alone is $8,000 more than was collected by the Yale authorities at the same event two years ago, the previous record.
Approximately 12,000 programs were sold, netting $3,800.
The sum of $2,700 was collected by the Yale Athletic Association from automobile owners for the rent of parking space during the game.
All the receipts, however, are not profit. The erection of the 16,000 temporary seats around the top of the Bowl and around the side-lines cost the Association nearly $14,000. Another expense was the liberal pay given the 1,500 men employed to handle the crowd. There were 800 ushers, 116 ticket-takers and inspectors, 100 program sellers, 120 guides, 160 automobile and fence guards, 35 traffic men 55 messengers, 45 head ushers and guards; policemen and other groups.
