Columbia Athletics Report Highlights Budget Increases And Early Wins
Columbia opened its basketball season with a 57 to 7 win at Peekskill led by Fisher with 24 points. The swimming program set a university record by Echeverria with a 52 foot plunge for distance. The rowing budget for 1903 shows total expenses of 12 789, largely for a new boat house and loans to graduates. Football financials may show a small deficit due to lack of big New York games, unlike Yale and Harvard profits from robust schedules.
