University eleven, 19.49

University nine, 400.00

The amount not covered by gate receipts and subscriptions, $2857.40, is met by glee club and miscellaneous receipts. These figures show that the subscription fiend, with his little book, is quite a striking personage at Yale - in fact many of the students think he strikes too often. When any of the teams are winners, an extra call for funds is made so as to present them with trophies. The amount spent for athletics by Yale men, individually, cannot, of course, be computed, but it is safe to figure that it would carry the yearly aggregate somewhat beyond the $25,000 mark. - Boston Herald.
