HARVARD STADIUM
MUCH TOO SMALL
Bingham Thinks Larger One
Should Be Built

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. % (UP)
Famous Harvard stadium should
either be enlarged or replaced by a
new and bigger stadium, William J..
Bingham, director of athletics at
Harvard, declared in his annual re-
port.
He pointed to the fact that the
stadium itself seated only $4,000,
whereas the temporary wooden
stands erected every fall at consid-
cradle expense accommodated 3d.
600.
None of the revenue from last
seasons football games would be
used to augment the budgets Of the
present intercollegiate teams. Bing-
ham said. Instead, he added, the
funds would be used to provide adj
ditional facilities and coaches to en-
able more students to participate in
sports. +..
I'VE do not regard football at
Harvard as commercial proposition
irasmuch as the income is used sole
ly to finance our athletic program,
which implies providing increased
facilities for physical exercise for
every student" said Bingham

The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irri- -tated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To help neutralize these irri- tating acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's .urinous waste. get four ounces Of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take T tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days. and your kidneys may then act fine.
