A Stadium dc.-igr.cd for comfort, to piotcct the shoes of the alhictic fan, and to allow a full view of the entire playing field and running track no matter in what part of tho stand a spectator may be seated that's the New Nebraska Memorial Stadium. Six months ago when the plans for the new Stadium were first being definitely drawn up, the Stadium building committee remembered the little things. It remembered the many times excited fans stamp their feet, it remembered the olscomfiture of sitting with feet hanging straight down and in accordance with these remembrances it planned the Nebras ka Stadium. The seats in Nebraska's new Stadi um are a definite improvement on those in almost any otner Stadium in the country. They will consist ot three planks, each four Indies wide, placed upon wooden blocks, whlcli pro trude over the edge of the concrete step so as to allow the spectators to throw their feet slightly backward rather than being forced to sit In a straight stiff fashion. It also pro tects the back of the shoes from rub bing against the concrete seats. No matter in what part o" the Sta dium a spectator may toe seated he will be able to see all of the playing field, every corner of the running track. The stands have been so "dish ed" that every one of the more than 30,000 seats in the new athletic struc tu re will afford a clear complete view of the field. START WORK ON BALCONY Work on the last of the five sec tions on the W'st stands has been started now, and the contractors are starting preliminary work on the bal cony. The east stands are about one half completed, and work on the last three stands is fast progressing, the center two being all poured with con crete. In spite of the fact that the steam shovel working on tre Stadium grounds each day removes more than 700 cubic ynrds of dirt, and has been removing that amount every day for more than two months, there is still a good slice of mother .earth to bo re moved. The playing fields of the now structure will be eight feet be low tho surface of tho o.'d fieid and 00,000 cubic yards of dirt must bo removed from the site to allow of this level. Ten thousand cubic feet of concrete will have been poured In to the new Stadiun) when Uio 1923 football season opens.- This amount does not include tho concrete whicn - lk fvS P M F! in ff XL ? m . jjtm wwM&rs ,(yir$Bil 1 TO 1 Dresses i tl Have a READY MA foe HOT WEATHER Now that warm weather is here you will need VsVrvrjLi VVflUll MJ1XU&&&& Large Line in the OR PIECE GOODS If you prefer the Piece Goods we have All Kinds GINGHAMS VOILES PRINTED FLAX1NS DIMINITIES CPEPES .
