A NEW HARVARD STADIUM,
Beautiful Type of Athletic Amphithe
alter Completed at Cost of $42s,ooo.

With nearly Il month before the OPEN
ing of the football season work on the
Harvard Stadium. which has been 90
ING on since last spring. is completed
to its last detail. and the structure now
stands as the best and most beautiful
type of athletic amphitheater in the
United States.
Upon what was formerly the bare top
of the structure has been erected a
canopy which extends the entire length
of the rim, terminating at each end in
massive towers. On the outside this is
built solid, pierced only by small rect
angular openings, which give the effect
of gothic windows, the whole surmount-
ed by an elaborate cornice.
The inside on the contrary is almost
wholly open, the heavy roof of concrete
slabs being supported by coonnade
of l24 doric COLUMNS. which offer an
unbroken view of the field and trans
top into beautiful promenade.
On the top of the parapet cement
wall has been constructed, matching
the rest of the outer wall, so that from
the field the whole structure now ap-
pears like a huge Greek oval, as was in
tended in the original design.
At the base of the outside wall three
steps and concrete walk have been
added, replacing the former dusty and
unsightly lava surface so that now moth
ing remains to be done but the filling in
with gravel to the level of the steps.
The cost of the addition, which was
undertaken in accordance with the plans
of the Harvard athletic committee and
the class of '9l, has amounted to $780,
900. which, together with the original
900. makes the total expense of the
stadium $425.OOO.
The original cost was considerably
greater than was expected. Because OF
the expense of brick and stone re-en-
forced concrete was used, the building
being one of the first examples of its
use on large scale. Only the seats
We're made of long stone slabs.
In its present form the stadium is
800 feet around and seventy feet high,
the new addition having increased the
height by twenty feet. The seating
capacity however, has been considera
bly, lessened by the. addition. for it will
now be impossible to erect the tiers
of wooden seats which were formerly
raised on the top for the big games,
and especially the game with Yale
Boston Globe.

GRIDIRON CAPTAINS
FOR PRESENT SEASON

Active preparations are already be-
ing made for the football season of
1909, which promises to be most sue
cessful one. Captains and coaches the
country over are seeking the most avail
able men from among whom they must
select the eleven which will uphold
the college colors on the gridiron this
fall. Halfbacks were most popular in
the selection of captains to direct the
teams. From among 10 colleges and
universities throughout the country, a
total of 26 selected halfbacks as cap
tains, including Michigan, Chicago, Car
Isle Indians and Cornell. Exactly two
dozen ends were chosen, including Penn
sylvania, Sewanee, Notre Dame and Ill
inois. Next in popularity were tackles,
with p, while II fullbacks, l6 quarter
backs, nine centers and eight guards
were picked. The names of the cap
tains, colleges and positions follow:

The last Legislature passed one
law at least, that is meritorious,
and that is in reference to the
sale Of school books, The act
makes it a mlsdemeanor, and
therefore punishable by a fine,
foi any dealer to obtain more
than fifteen per cent profit on
school books. The law hereto-
fore provided that school hooks
should not be sold at a greater
profit than fifteen per cent, but
no penalty was attached, hence
the way was open for unscrupu-
.lous dealers TO charge a greater
profit without fear of punish
meat. The law was effective Aug.
1Gth. While it may be admitted
that fifteen per cent is not much
yet IN view OF the fact that school
books make an excellent side
line and the further fact that
the dealer runs 40 risk the legit
innate profit is large enough. The
books are high enough at best,
owing to the excessive price de-
manded and obtained by ihe
trust Therefore a dealer who
