Are Different.
From an architectural standpoint
the two stadiums differ greatly. Seen
from a distance the Princeton struc-
ture IS extremely imposing, resemb-
ling to a certain extent the Harvard
stadium on Soldiers field, Cambridge.
The Gothic style carried out in all
Princeton buildings has been followed
as far as possible. 1t is OF U shape
with the open end facing Carnegie
lake. The main entrance at the north
ern end consists of two massive tow
ers connected by sweeping arch. On
each side of this entrance smaller ar
ches alternate with supporting col
umns throughout the exterior length
of the stadium. 1t is SO situated that
the rays Of the November sun strike
the field at right angles, giving each
team equal advantage in the matter
of light and shadow. +.
The general statistics Of the stadl-
UNI are as follows, Seating capacity,
41,000; length, 672 feet; width, $40
feet; height, &C. feet; number Of rows
of seats. As; number of exits, rs. In
der the tiers of seats is a concourse
which will permit OF a winter running
track, while surrounding the football
field proper. is a quarter OF a mile
running track with 220 yards
straightaway. The structure is COM
posed OF reinforced concrete. Al

college teams played in the stadium.

The Yale Bowl. III 2,
1t is not until the spectators enters
the Yale "Eowl that the immensely
Of the New Haven stadium dawns
upon him. Due to its sunkel type Of
architecture the. structure is not i'm
uressi e when seen from a, distance.
n general appearance it, resembles a
reservoir. A retaining wall Of mod
crate height, surmounted by a turfed
bank, is first seen as one approaches
the amphitheater. The wall is pierced
by a number of entrances, while the
main entrance is through a large arch
aanked by tall towers somewhat on
the order Of the gateway of the
Princeton stadium, One the upper
tiers of seats in the Yale Bowl" are
reached, however. there is complete
/. change IN the picture.s @ - E
The structure stretches away in. a
perfect circle. row after row Of seats
descending like steps to the playing
; field far below. There are 81 CIRCULAR
tiers Of these seats. giving a capacity
. for a trifle more than 81 600 specta-
tors. E'y the erection of steel super
! structure around the crown Of the
i Bowl seating arrangements can be
i made for 100000 persons should the
Z future attendance at big football
Z games warrant this addition. The
rows Of seats are divided by circular
and right angle courses and isle and
entrance or exit is made through
some thirty tunnel.like ramps. The
+ extreme height is a little over sixty
4 feet The field is about t. ,enty-five
feet below the surface and the retain
ing wall and bank rising about thirty.
\ five feet above the surrounding land.
Due to the great circular sweep dis,
tances across the structure are con-
siderably magnificent. Al 81
