The season opened with the Athletic Club heavily in debt. Whatever may have been the cause of this, it is unjust to discuss it. There are a hundred ways of unprofitable expenditure, such as stormy weather on trips and the like. The management of a professional club requires more skill and generalship than people are willing to admit at a passing glance, and here is where we thing the managers of the Athletic Club deserve full credit rather than abuse. The debt of the club is about one-third its original amount. The balance will be cleared off before the season is finished, all things progressing as they promise, and the organization will be placed on a solid stock company footing for the year ‘73.
