...general expenses of business, including wages, taxes, insurance, allowances for depreciation, reserves, etc., amounted to $57,586.57, or 15.23 per cent. of total sales.

The present situation is very serious for the Harvard team and its supporters, in that up to the present we have continued to win our games by a safe margin, while Yale has twice been defeated and once tied...
...nothing could have been better timed than the warning there voiced. As Mr. Haughton said, "The present situation is very serious for the Harvard team ... in that up to the present we have continued to win our games by a safe margin, while Yale has twice been defeated and once tied."
