DEFICIT SEEN IN RECEIPTS

Falling Off Noted In Gate Money at Pittsburgh—Retrenchment Will Likely Follow. Successful as Pittsburgh’s football season was, from a sporting standpoint, the receipts showed a falling off from previous years. War conditions, of course, were responsible and the result will be a general policy of retrenchment, since proceeds from the gridiron sport, as with other institutions, are annually relied upon to provide the sinews for the conduct of other sports. There is a probability, however, that there will be no wrestling and that baseball will be conducted only on an intramural basis. There will, however, be swimming and tennis teams.
