TIGER ATHLETIC REPORT SHOWS GAIN OF $3,000

The report of the Princeton University Athletic Association for the season of 1915-16 shows a gain of almost $3,000 over the profit of the previous year. The sum total gained by athletics at that university amounted to $18,116.

This increase in revenue was due chiefly to greater receipts from football than has been the case in former years. The returns from the Yale game alone netted $45,000, as compared with $34,000 in the previous year, while the figures for the game with the University showed a gain of $2,000. The expenses in football remained the same, which was not the experience of the University in this sport, inasmuch as football expenditure here showed an increase of nearly $2,000 over last season.

The only sports beside football to afford a profit at Princeton were baseball and basketball. Hockey was a paying activity in 1914, but in the season of 1915-16 a deficit of $641 is recorded. Together with hockey, track, rowing, most of the minor sports and all freshman athletics showed losses. The receipts and expenditures from these sports, however, varied little from previous years. The only exceptions to this were track, which had an increase in expenses over revenue amounting to about $1,000, and soccer which also showed an augmented deficit.
