COST $30,000 A YEAR FOR ATHLETICS

BUT EXPENSES HERE NOT AS HIGH AS SOME OTHER PLACES

The Football Team Costs About $166.66 a Day to Keep It Going.

It costs a pretty penny to run a first-class football team. Manager Baird estimates that it cost $5,000 a month, or $166.66 per day, to run Michigan's squad last year. The total athletic expenses for the year for everything aggregated $30,000. At Pennsylvania the football team costs over $10,000 a month. But the college men are willing to pay the freight, although at times it causes the managers to hustle to "raise the wind."
