e ennett eacon Vol. lIl AUTUMN, 1927 No. 1 STADIUM PLANS JUDGEII BY CITY Architects Confer The plans for the new High School Stadium have been submitted to the city architects, and are awaiting in- vestigation. The stadium will be sit- uated on the land in the rear of Ben- nett High School. Mr. Lewis J. Ben- nett donated this property for an all- high athletic field, with the under- standing that it be called Mercer Field, in honor of the enterprising luncheon club. The money has been appropriated for the purpose, and ac- tion is to be expected in the near future. On this field there will be a base- ball diamond, tennis courts, a foot- ball gridiron, and running tracks. Provision has been made for locker rooms and showers for all the sports. The stadium will cost approximately three hundred thousand dollars. The seating capacity will be from ten to fifteen thousand. At present inter-high school events, with the exception of swimming and basketball, are held at various and widely separated places. Track meets are held at the 174th Armory, cross- country at Delaware Park. Opposing elevens clash at the Bison Stadium, while Play ball! is heard at Dela- ware and in all the parks. Hockey was at Humboldt the first year, and was supposed to be on a Massachu- setts avenue location last year. Mer- cer Field will constitute a long- needed improvement in the way of holding all outdoor inter-scholastic contests. H. S.
