The Glants also have submitted an offer to the service schools, The statement follows “The Yankee Bascball club an- nounces that it has offered to govern- ment officials 60,000 seats for the Army and Navy football game. This number of seats is greatly in excess of the capacity of any grounds in any of the large citles. It has also of- fered to pay all expenses incident to the staging of the game.

The construction of the Yankee Stadlum has cost in the neighbor- hood of two million and a half dol- lars and was built not only for busi- ness reasons but from a sense of civic pride to attract to New York all the large events. The fleld was laid out not only from a baseball but from a football point of view. The expert advice of Maj. Phil Hayes, at the time graduate manager of athletics at West Point and Hugo Bezdek, coach of Penn State, was given us. “The football fleld has been in- spected and approved by a score of the most experienced football men in the country, including Maj.
