WANT ATHLETIC BUILDING
High School Students Think Such a
Structure Is Needed.

The Athletic Association Of the will
mington High School is anxious 10
have a building for sports and train
ing and il is likely that an effort viii
be made in the near future to get the
Board of Education TO erect such a
building in the rear of the High School.
The Athletic Association would con-
ribute largely to such a building and
the Alumni would also be interested
in the movement.
1t is contended that such a building
would do more 10 interest students in
sports than anything else which could
be done. All that would be required
would be a one-story structure and il
would not be so expensive.
At Front and Union streets next
Friday afternoon the High School will
play the Brown Preparatory Of Phila-
delphia.
