...announcement which recently appeared in the CRIMSON that Mr. Mason had been "engaged" to coach the freshman nine was made under a misapprehension and is entirely mistaken.

The need was an immediate one, but no revenues could come from this tax for ten months, and the amount even then would be uncertain. A better source of aid was open - the internal revenue taxes. Here was a source of revenue, three times that estimated for this...
