FULLER, Jr. | | ESTERN HIGH SCHOOL'S | new athletic stadium—in | fact, its first—will, it is| expected, be completed | shortly after October 1. | A field for foot ball or base ball. | & running track, grandstand and | other appointments of a modern | stadium are included in the plant. An appropriation of $100,000 was available for the stadium and| every effort has been made to spend the money to the most ad- vantage. The Colonial type of architecture has been followed and the plant will conform to the best in this section. Located two blocks from Western, the Stadium is bounded by Thirty-eighta and Thirty-ninth streets on the east and west and S street and Reservolr road on the north and south. One of the best features is the run- ning track.

A mixture of cin- ders, shale, etc., has gone into the Western layout that is calculated to make it just about as good as is pos- | sible. A grandstand of steel construction, | with concrete foundation, is to be erect- | ed along the Thirty-ninth street side of the fleld for a distance of approxi- | mately 350 feet. It will have seven rows and a seating capacity of close to | 2,000. Two_fleld houses, one for girls and | the other for boys, have been built at either side of the emntrance on Thirty- | eighth street at the end of R strest. These houses contain locker rooms, showers, and other appoint- | ments. | Entrances have béen provided from | both Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth | streets, one at each end of the grand- stand.
