EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- Dear Sirs: I enclose a statement of the accounts of the treasurer of the University Foot-Ball Association for last year, which I beg that you will kindly publish. It was the endeavor of the treasurer to make the association self-supporting, i. e. to meet the expenses with receipts from gate money, and not to rely upon subscriptions; it was found impossible to do this wholly without subscriptions, but the treasurer collected of the amount subscribed only such a portion as should pull the association through the year free from debt. It did not seem necessary to lay up a balance in the bank after foot-ball had been forbidden by the faculty.
Very respectfully,
