...Harvard attack seemed to be hogging down when the purple squad with a first period score as a foundation were given two more in quick succession from the toes of John Gibson and Dave Fitzgerald respectively in the fourth. But with Williams knocking on the door to victory the Carrmen tightened their defense and checked further attempts by the enemy. Thus the game ended with Harvard avenged of their 3 to 2 defeat of last year...
Last year, both U. S. world's fairs lost money, and for the same reason: sub-estimate attendance. This year, both fairs reopened under new management, new policies.

Chamber of Commerce President Marshall Dill and Vice President William Monahan took over San Francisco's Golden Gate International Exposition, cut prices and sloganed: "Let's have a good time" at Treasure Island.

With 5,877,481 in total paid attendance at the end of the 62nd day, it would take an improbable 34,122,519 in the 93 days left to justify (by Gibson estimate) full payment on the bonds. But, based on present attendance, holders could reasonably think in terms of about 30? on the dollar when the Fair closes...
