Elsewhere the teams are supported by their gate receipts, and cannot afford to travel without a prospect of having their expenses paid. But here, since there are no gate receipts, these expenses must be paid by subscription.

The financial aspect of the case was of great importance and could not be ignored. Harvard's share of the gate receipts in New York would be minute compared with the returns if the games were played alternately at Cambridge and New Haven. Under this system more men would be drawn into the contests; there would be better grounds for the sports; more enthusiasm would be aroused, and athletics in the two colleges...
