It or a team to make $300,000 in a short season of foot ball. Many big schools go far above that figure. But by June 30 each year this money is all gone, or at least is no longer unusual assigned. The books are not yet all know about how they stack up. ‘The University of Illinois is a typical $300,000 foot ball profits school and the University of Illi- nois has little trouble getting rid of the $300,000 and being ready for a fresh start in the Fall. In one year base ball can lose $4,000 there. Basket ball is weil attended and shows a profit of nearly $14,000. Golf is a dead loss amounting to about $3,000.

Base ball | has a good income at Illinois and the loss is small compared to other schools. These losses in Spring and Winter sports don't eat up the profits of foot ball. But these figures are only operating costs and losses. The big foot ball money goes into building funds for these other sports . that can't pay their own way. How They Spend It. Maj. John L. Griffith, commissioner of the Big Ten, offers a report on activities among his Middle Western | institutions. This report shows in what ‘way much of the recent foot ball profit ‘The intercholastic meets, | ue of Pigskin Game in Other Activities.

Ohlo State has bought land for sev- eral intramural sports buildings, to be paid for by foot ball receipts. Purdue has bought much additional land and improved it. Indiana has bought additional land and erected a fieldhouse. ‘There's where your dollars go, Mr. Foot Ball Fan. Await More Funds. In addition to the above each of the universities has plans for supplying | further facilities as rapidly as funds are available. The universities which have been most prosperous from the stand- point of foot ball receipts have gone the farthest in increased facilities. Furthermore, these universities have been instrumental in financing to a large extent, if not entirely, from foot ball receipts such activities as student bands, student festivals, dramatic art and so on. All money received from athletic con- tests in the Big Ten goes into the State treasuries, or into the regular univer- sity treasuries, and is expended in ac- cordance with' budgets approved by the respective boards of control of the uni- versities. In each of the Big Ten schools athletic funds are under the control MISS KRUCOFF GETS IN SEARS CUP PLAY ‘Washington will be represented by one regular and one alternate on the Middle Atlantic States Sears Cup team which goes to Boston this week to com= pete with the top-ranking women rack- eters of the New England and Eastern States for the major team trophy for women in the East. Frances Krucoff, District ranking player, won a regular position on the squad as a result of the tryouts held this past week in Baltimore. Mrs. Hugh Rowan (Frances Bethel), of Chevy Chase Club, won the alter- nate’s post. Mrs. Rowan probably will not make the trip, however, unless called upon to take the place of one of the regulars. Miss Krucoff will play No. 6 singles. Doubles teams have nounced yet. With Penelope Anderson of Rich- mond heading the squad, the Middle Atlantic section stands a much better chance of returning victorious this sea- son than last. Elizabeth Warren, also of Richmond, is in second place. Mrs. B. V. Hopkins, Baltimore, follows, with Mrs. Charles Boehm, Baltimore, fourth and Page Swann, Baltimore, fifth. New England now holds the trophy, having won decisively last season in the two rounds of play. Marjorie Morrill of Boston undoubt- edly will head the Boston team again | this season and Alice Prancis is ex- | pected to lead off for the Eastern States, recruited largely from New York. Play will be held Friday and Satur- day of this week on the courts of the Longwood Criquet Club.

HEN the guardians of the royal and ancient game of golf decided that the golf ball of the future would be bigger and lighter, they informed the world of this fact. Without getting into the argument as to the advisability of making the ball larger for the benefit of the near-sighted | who have ruined their vision by peering at the little white pellets, one can at least concede that the makers of golf law were frank about it. | ‘The difference in the specifications for the golf ball necessarily will change ! the game considerably, but all the golfers of the world and all those interested | in the game are aware that the game is about to be changed. I am convinced that the game of base ball has been changed quite as radically as golf is to be | changed through modifications, improvements or whatever you care to call them in the specifications for the official league base ball. But this change has been , brought about without the fans and the players being taken into the confidence of arbiters of the national pastime. The epidemic of home runs which made its appearance five or six years ago is increasing to an alarming extent. Watching the ticker the other day to note the signs of improvement in the play of the Brooklyn Dodgers, I was struck by the number of home runs recorded on the tape. Between innings it seemed that the ticker was clicking “Whoosis hit a home run.” Glancing at the home run records, one finds that there already is a marked increase in what Mr. Willlam B. Hanna would call eircuit clouts. i This increase in the number of homers is altogether too startling to be | accounted for by the restrictions put on the pitchers or to the change in the } style of batting. It must be due to a change in the material used in the manufacture of the base balls, and the idea must have been sanctioned by the magnates if the idea did not actually originate with them. When Babe Ruth started breaking all home run figures with something near the old type of base ball he became the most popular figure and the greatest box office attraction the game ever knew. The main object of organized base ball is to draw gate receipts. When it became apparent that home runs drew customers the magnates were very eager to have more home runs. That is my theory of the cause of the increased output of home runs. The cus- tomers seemed to want them, and it is the business of magnates to please the customers. . 1 recall that when the forces of organized base ball were fighting to squelch the Federal League the main arraignment against the independent organization was that the Federal League was using a rabbit base ball. By this they meant that the opposition was using a base ball which could be driven farther than the ball used by organized base ball. The old line magnates professed a deep contempt for any organi- zation which would resort to such underhanded methods to bid for popularity at the expense of the best traditions of the national pastime and all that sort of thing. Now it becomes apparent that the magnates in organized base ball are resorting to the rabbit ball. This declaration will draw many tears from Mr. Julian Curtiss and Mr. John Doyle of Spalding’s. They continue to insist that the base ball used today is made according to the same specification as the base ball of 10 years ago. But Club; T. J. Mangan, Columbia, and Winfree Johnson, Washington Tennis Association. Emmet Pare, Georgetown University star, will probably play the No. 1 singles position. ~Others on the singles squad are T. J. Mangan, C. M. Charest, Bob Considine, Dooley Mitchell, Maurice O'Neill, JmseJ)h Rutley and Frank Shore. Mangan and Considine will play No. 1 doubles, Pare and Mitchell No. 2 and O'Neill and Hal Fowler No. 3. All players named on the squad are requested by the committee to report for practice matches at the courts of the ~ Columbia Club tomorrow and Thursday afternoons. Washington has an even chance of bringing home the cup for a second consecutive year, having won it 2 out of 3 times from Baltimore, the strongest opposition, during the last three years. Washington won in 1926, lost in 1927 to the Orioles and regained possession of the trophy last year. Bal- timore had won it four times previous to 1926. Neither Richmond or Norfolk has captured it yet. This is the eighth year of play. LEESBURG TENNIS TEAM STARTS WITH VICTORY LEESBURG, Va., June 4.—Leesburg Racquet Club won its opening tennis match of the season, defeating Langley, 7 matches to 1. Summaries: Singles—Larrick (Leesburg) defeated Simpson, 6—1, 6—0; J. Simpson (Lees- burg) defeated Donaldson, 6—4, 9—7. Doubles—Larrick and Dibrell (Lees- burg) defeated Cummins and Darne, 6—2, 6—1; Spicer' and Harvey (Lang- ley) defeated Paul and Garrett, 6—4, 6—3; Dibrell and Smoot (Leesburg) defeated Rivercomb and Carper, 6—1, 6—1; Divine and Slack (Leesburg) de- feated Gantt and Thurlby, 6—1, 6—1, and Dibrell and SmootL (Leesburg) de- feated Cummins and Darne, 6—1, 6—2.

There |15 no society for the prevention of | eruelty to pugilists who are walking on College Vigilantes. HE drastic action of Western Con- ference in expelling or suspending the University of Jowa from partici- pation in athletic contests ruled by the conference is an indication of the Vigi- lance that is exercised in connection with intercollegiate athletics. Old grads of various colleges are watching one an- other with suspicious glares in their eyes in the matter of athletics, and foot ball in particular. | With these conditions, there is a fair | guaranty that college athletics will be | raised to a high standard and kept that way. But what of the academic stand- ards of the various colleges? I do not know of a single instance where an old grad of any institution has been con- | cerned about this matter. If there have been any alumni worrying over this phase of the higher education, they do not seem to have been able to crash the newspapers. As it stands, it is & very easy mat- ter to determine when a foot ball coach is incompetent or derelict irr his duties. The records at the end of the foot ball season will show that. But there is no way of telling whether or not a college president or the head of a department is incom- petent or is falling down on his job, Alumni ao not seem to be concerned g of the Carnegie Foundation for the Investigation of ‘Teaching. I am not criticizing this or- ganization, for it is doing good work, they tell me. But so far as I can see, the Carnegie Foundation for the Inves- tigation of Teaching seems to be confin- ing itself to investigation of the con- duct of coll te athletics. At that, the directors of the foundation may be right. It may be that there is nothing the matter whatever with the college but college sports. The Fall of Methuselah. ICHAEL METHUSELAH Mec- TIGUE, the centenarian of the Wicklow Mountains, was tapped on the chin the other night by a young worker in steel and caulifiowers. It sounds like the cue to write Michael's pugilistic obituary, but that might be premature. About 10 years after I wrote & very touching plece about Charles Weinert, the Adonis of Newark, N. J., and Buda- pest, Hungary, they trotted the Adonis out again and sent him in as a victim for Harry Wills. Naturally, the Adonis s massacred 1o make & Roman - | their heels, A manager can disturb | | them from their soothing occupation of cutting out paper dolls and send them out again at any time, it seems.

The Ku Klux Klan invited i Michael to select his own tree for his lynching in the event that he won. Michael gets nervous every time he has 1o pass ander a tree since that time. Of course, it may be that Michael really is through this year. But the \chances are that his manager, James Johnston, the Boy Bandit, plans to send him back for more fights after he more mature. i (Copyright, 1929.)

Women in Spor ENIORS romped on the Sopho- mores 5 to 0 in the final game of the Central High School hockey series yesterday, but even that victory did not wrest the title from the Junior squad, which completed play with one more win credited than the Senior stick wielders, having scored over the latter last Priday in the ecrit- ical game of the loop. Seniors finished in second place by virtue of yesterday's win, scoring twice, tying once and los- ing one. Juniors scored three times and lost cne. Sophomores cames in third and the Frosh trailed. In yesterday's game Miss Phillips, Senior left inner, caged four goals, while Miss Leon, relieving her in the second half, accounted for the fifth.

DERBY VICTOR ON SCENE OF NEXT CLASSIC TEST CHICAGO, June 4 ().—Seeking his second major triumph of the 1929 rac- ing season, Clyde Van Dusen, sturdy son of Man o' War and winner of the Ken- tucky Derby, today was quartered at the Washington Park track, to prepare for the $60,000 American Derby June 15. Clyde Van Dusen arrived at the track yesterday, after a trip in his special car, from Churchill Downs. His trainer. Clyde Van Dusen, said the horse had breezed a mile in 1:422-5 before leav- ing Kentucky. IT’S GAVUZZI'S TURN AGAIN IN THE DERBY | By the Assoclated Press.

Because of his studies at the Univer- sity of Chicago, it was feared Lott would be unable to get away. However, he plans to sail June 14. His teammates will sail tomorrow.

Anyhow, Mrs. Warren, the former Helen Filkey, Olympic hurdler, now chooses to run. She is out twice a week, it was learned today, leaping over the hurdles in practice for com- petition in major events of the track season.

IN BIG TEN BASE BALL CHICAGO, June 4 (#).—Michigan has the Big Ten base ball champion- ship safely won, but the battle for last place has yet to be decided. Minnesota kept Chicago in the pit yesterday by dividing a doubleheader with the Maroons. Winning the first game, 4 to 3, and dropping the second, 15 to 10. However, Minnesota may go to the bottom Saturday when Wiscon- sin invades Minneapolis in the final game of the conference slate.

They have made a total of 10 hits in three games and have fan- ned the same number of times. Their batting average against Carl Hubbell, Larry Benton, et al., is about .240.

Thirty - one of England's —The Epsom Derby, ancient choicest three-year-olds have been se- lected to battle for the honor and glory | awarded the winner of the world’s most celebrated horse race. Five million people have wagered hundreds of thousands of pounds in the gigantic London Stock Exchange and Calcutta Sweepstakes and other similar pools throughout the United Kingdom. The Calcutta and Stock Exchange sweeps alone involve about $5,000,000 each, holders of tickets on the winning horse to receive in the neighborhood of $625,000. From city, farm and hamlet the mul- titude began pouring into this quaint little English village today. For in Eng- land every one goes to the Derby. It is a national pilgrimage in which all classes participate, from King to cos- termonger, from landed lord to wander- ing gypsy. Londoners turned their backs on their shops and offices and joined the early arrivals by train, tram, omnibus, automobile, taxicab, carriage, cart, bicycle and on foot. Quarter Million to Watch. The influx of England’s populace is expected to exceed the quarter-million mark this year. The huge grandstand built in the bowl-like setting of the Downs course and adjacent standing room furnishes some kind of an ac- commodation for nearly 300,000 people. Across the rolling, grassy, wind-blown downs, above Epsom, the famous Derby course stretches out a long mile and a half—first uphill, then down again. It provides for the proud and youthful blueblood racers a most strenuous test of stamina. The Derby track lies in the shape of an elongated horseshoe. The start is made at the shank of the shoe farthest from the grandstand—nearly 800 yards from the structure. The finish is in front of the royal box, where King George will be missing for the first time in_recent years. | The first long half mile of the course is run uphill, while the second four fur- longs sweep in a sharp crescent along an approximate level. Going into the final third of the course, the Derby can- didates turn “Tattenham Corner” and swing into the down-hill homeward dash. Reaching the last phase of the ex- hausting struggle, many colts are too | far gone to make use of the easy descent. But horses with staying power come thundering down the stretch to set the crowd wild with a whirlwind | finish. Condition of the track, which has be- further cut the fleld before post time. pit REQ.
