D.C.A.C. Shows Surplus

In its financial report for the year 1936-37 the Dartmouth College Athletic Council shows a surplus of $24,888.03. This is an even more favorable report than that for the previous year, when a surplus of $10,806.75 was posted. Total income for the past year was $232,042.64, a gain of $21,585.70 over 1935-36, while total expenses of $207,154.61 were $7,504.42 greater than those of the previous year. For the second year the Athletic Council was relieved of the cost of the recreational and intramural program, which has been taken over by the College.

Varsity football was again the only sport to show a profit. With income of $188,985.77 and expenses of $88,217.81 it posted a surplus of $100,767,96 for the year. These figures represented a gain over the previous year of $14,972.69 in income and of $4,135.24 in net profit.

In nearly all cases, varsity sports showed smaller deficits than for the previous year. Track and tennis were the two exceptions to this. Most freshman sports showed slight increases in their deficits, the exceptions being football, basketball, hockey, golf and cross-country. Concessions and the tennis courts showed a combined surplus of $4,638.26, compared to $1,134.37 for the previous year.
