I ATHLETIC EXPANSION QUT ' GY! , Y J. ...Lge i 1 A .- ROBERTS STADIUM View of field, bleachers, and light poles on 15th street side. Late in 193 5 , signatures were attached to a docuf ment that was the climax of a heartbreaking five' year struggle to obtain an athletic plant for the college. When Dr. Roberts and heirs to the Judson estate signed a lease, with option to buy at the end of five years, old Recreation Park became the athf letic home of the Gaters. It had formerly been the home of the San Francisco Seals baseball team. From the first, the park was beset by financial difliculty. The grounds were a veritable trash dump. Huge cement pillars embedded in the ground as bases for the former stadium had to be removed before actual work could be done on grading the field. A blow fell when it was learned that W. P. A. aid could not be used to Hnance work, because the plot was still unowned by State. The fighting spirit of Dean David J. Cox and resourcefulness of Leo C. Nee came to the rescue. In a flying trip to Sacramento, Mr. Nee obtained funds for preliminary work, and Dave Cox aroused the male portion of the student body into volunteer' ing for labor on the new field. Volunteers were reluctant at first, but when they caught the spirit, numbers increased. Fighting Dave's grim resolution to do the whole thing himself f By the Gods j if necessary, accomplished great results. Much credit SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage Twentyfsixj
