...there is a good scenario somewhere in the Five-Year Plan and they are trying hard to find it. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has spent $200,000 trying to do so without success; whatever Warner Brothers spent on this picture can safely be listed on the wrong side of the ledger also.

Football this year is estimated in the budget as costing the Association the round sum of $330,991, a figure slightly larger than that of the Harvard College library for the same period. Of course not all of this money is spent on supplies and wages alone. Nearly two thirds of the football expenditure goes as guarantees to the visiting teams. Subtract the guarantees from...
