At a meeting Of the athletic com

! Woodburn hall, at Morgantown, the
Question OF what disposition shall De
made of Of the $4,000 appropr1a-
! ton recently made by the leg1sIa-
rure for permanent athletic improve
ments at the university. was dls-
cussed by the board members, all OF
| whom were present. Acting Pres1-
dent F. B. Trotter and Delegate j.
r. Moreland OF this city. Were also
present and conferred with the board
relative to the various Propositions
| set forth for the expenditure OF the
money.
OF All the propositions which have
| been considered, the one which at
present seems to be looked upon with
favor by the board, is the enlarge
ment OF the university athletic held
and the Improvement OF the field SO
as to make 1t better adapted to All
forms Of outdoor athletics Pans
discussed at the meeting would pro-
vide for the cutting away OF the em-
bankment on the north side OF the
field for considerable distance be
yond the present point, the erection
Of a hillside b1eachers Of perma-
nent nature for football and track,
and the building of a quarter mile
track In case this were done. 1T IS
highly probable that the baseball d1a-
mond would be laid on 50 as to
place the home plate outside the pres
emit left field foul line thereby max
ing it possible to construct a circu-
lar grandstand from first to third
base. The present grand stand
gould be removed and the field filed
in clear to Commencement hall. This,
it is said. would give plenty Of room
IN all the outfe1ds as well as make
it possible to lay out a football play
ing field for which it would be easy
