short time, in order to continue the work without interruption.
 The Yale Bowl, as as present plan. ned, will be the most pretentious and commodious college athletic am phitheaIe in the world. When com pleted it will seat 61 800 spectators and there will still be a room for several thousand standing. No pro- vision has been made for either track athletics CT the followers of these sports. Even though it is used ex- clusively for football it will be the most imposing and expensive of all the structures of similar type in the country.
 When the present Harvard stadium was first constructed it had an actual seating capacity of 22,O00. but since then, by the addition of colonnade and wooden stands at one end of the field, the original capacity has been almost doubled.
 The reinhirced concrete stadium at Syracuse University Is one of the most notable products of modern en. gineering and was the first one built in the United States with the playing field below the level of the ground surrounding it. It has a seating ca pacity of 50,000 and was built at an initial expenditure of sS0O,0O0.
 The Pennsylvania grandstand at Franklin Field is constructed of stone, brick and wood and is one of the largest in the United states, hay ing a seating capacity of 24,O00. This structure with the adjoining gymna- sium cost S500,0O0
 At Cornell work is already under way on an entirely new athletic euip- ment. There will be three separate for football, baseball and track which will cost approximately s20O,O The football and baseball stand are to be constructed of concrete and will have seating capacities of 5000 and 6,O00 respectively The training quarters are to be in building 200 feet long which will cost $100,000.
