WEEK END COST ESTIMATED $500 DEFICIT NEXT YEAR SHOULD BE ELIMINATED SAYS WALKER QUALITY SHOULD BE AIM High School and Student Com mittee Aid in Reduction of Expenses. Last Ye’ar’s De ficit Was $1,200. $500.00 will cover the entire cost of the last Junior week end. This includes the expenses of the two track meets, the two baseball games, the expenses for the transportation and the entertainment of he High sehool ahletes, the cups and medals, and the various other incidental ex penses which come unexpectedly on the fag end of an event of this kind. This is the estimate of Manager Dean Walker. Though this sum is small as compared with the $1200.00 deficit of the week-end of last year, Manager Walker is not yet satisfied. “The de ficit is too big yet. Next year, by pro per handling, Junior week-end can be made to pay out.” he said yester day. Mr. Walker attributes the reduc tion in expenses to two things: He said that in bringing men to the 'Prep-school Meet tltis spring, he tried for quality rather than quan tity. As a result we had 30 or 40 few er men with no reduction in the quality of the Meet. In the second place, whereas last year the hotels were filled with the visiting High school athletes, this year every bed was provided free of charge. Mr. Walker was able to acocmplish this through the co-operation of the local High school and through the ef forts of a loyal Student committee. This deficit seems even lower when it is taken into consideration that student-body tickets to the O. A. C. Oregon-Track meet and to the Wash ington games, whereas, under the method of last year, all these .would have been paid for. “Practically every student would have attended the contests even had payment been required,” said Manager .Walker, "and the receipts of the contests would have entirely eliminated the deficit.” ATHLETES ARE GOOD STUDENTS AT CORNELL Statistics Give Ithaca Crew Men the Highest Standing. Cornell University—Cornell ath letes are not inferior in scholarship to the average student, according to statistics prepared by the registrar, D. F. Hoy, and recently used by Pres ident Schurman in an address. Fig ures compiled from the.averages of men in all the sports show that the athlqtes average higher than fra ternity men as a whole, and lower than non-fraternity men. The frater nity men roughly comprise those in terested to some extent in activities outside their studies. The varsity crew men make the best showing in the table, with an average of 75.3 per cent. In case of the sports which are lower, it is us ually the averages of one or two poor students which bring down the total, rather than a general low average of scholarship. The table follows: Average.
