IT CERTAINLY PAYS TO BE A WINNER IN ATHLETICS Estimated Receipts at Harvard Are SBOO,OOO, More Than Half of Which Reverted to Treasury—Pre vious Records at Football Crushed Does it pay to be a winner! Well, rather, according to the receipts of the Harvard football season. Estimates of the receipts place the amount at $300,- 000, of which more than one-half re verted to the Harvard treasury. All previous records for niojiey-Tiuik ing in football were fractured and crushed by the figures sot up by Haughtoei s squad of advanced grid iron students, lor the new Vale bowl, with its capacity of 70,000, enabled the Harvard tram to get over t'he line and win the honor of being the first college football team in the United States to play to more than $300,000 in gate receipts in 'a single season. The attendance records were also broken during the season just passed, and again the Yale bowl made possible the new record. More than 200,00U persons saw Harvard play its nine games. The average attendance at a Harvard game was 23,300, which would be a staggering crowd at a ma jor league baseball game. The attendance figures grew steadily at Harvard from the opening ga.iue to the final contest with Yale. Only at the Brown-Harvard game in the stadium on November 14, when the Crimson substituti o lined up against the Bru nonians, was the crowd smaller than it had been on a preceding Saturday. The three games on the Harvard sched ule—those with Yale, Princeton and Michigan—drew 120,000. and the six games of lesser importance swelled the figures bv 90,000, bringing the grao i total to 210,000. The Harvard Athletic Association is even now counting up the money taken in during the season and the official statement of Harvard finances as a re sult of its most successful football season will not be ready for many weeks. Harvard of course, does not get all the money paid in by spectators at the games for the opposing teams got percentage or liberal guarantees in all cases. The actual receipts for the Harvard management will be between $150,000 and $170,000, however, and after all the football expenses have been de ducted there will still be a big balance left to the credit of the 1914 football team. And inasmuch as nearly all the other varsity and freshman athletic teams at Harvard lose money annually, the football record will defray almost wholly the deficits rung up by* the los ing propositions. The Harvard management realizcJ before the season began $4,500 from the sale of about 1,500 season tickets to the general public at $3 each. These tickets were good for all games played by the Crimson except those with Princeton and Yale. Then about 2,000 H. A. A. tickets, which are issued only to the Harvard students at $5 eacli, were sold, adding SIO,OOO to the re ceipts. The Bates game at the opening of season had an attendance of 12,000 and the receipts approximated $6,000 cash. The second contest, with the Springfield Training school, had a slightly larger attendance -and the re ceipts advanced to about the $7,500 mark. The Washington and Jefferson gajne lured 13,000 to the stadium and the gate receipts amounted to about SB,OOO. From the day of the Washington a.nd Jefferson game to the Princeton game, a month later, the greatest ot the Harvard stars were out of the game through injuries. Captain Brickley was operatecj on for appendicitis while his team was opposing the W. and J. combination. Mahan had pulled a ten don. Pen nock had a bad case of water on the knee, and there were more in juries among the lesser lights. In the next several weeks more of the regu lars were out, including Trumbull, Hardwick, Bradlee, l.ogan, Wallace and Soucv, But through all this mis fortune the Harvard team continued to draw and the receipts grew Satur day after Saturday, even though the public knew that most of the stars would be out of the line-up. On a rainy day the Tufts game brought out a crowd of 15,000 and the Penn State team, a week later drew 18,000 persons. For the first time in history, an October game brought more than 20,000 spectators when Michigan opposed Harvard in the great intersec tional battle. 0.-tober 31. There were 23,000 in t'he stands and the receipts for the game were nearly $35,000. The following Saturday Princeton drew 27,000 persons, at $2 each, and the re ceipts were $54,000. The Brown game, with only the Har vard substitutes flaying, was a suffi cient attraction to lure 20,000 persons through the turnstiles, and the gate monev was in excess of $20,000. And the Yale game, which is reallv old his torv now, brought out 70,000 spec tators for a gate total of $140,000. The whole mass of receipts for the games in which the Harvard eleven played were more than $300,000 ami Harvard is ready to suibeerib to the axion that to the victors belong the spoils.
