FIELD TOO VALUABLE A RISK Horticulturists Claim That Freexlng Will Kill Thousand Dollar Crop of 8od No More Visions of Dutch Sport for Studes. 'I he skating rink proposition has lallen through Such 1h the mournful rumor which la creeping over the cam pus, and Bad to relate, this rumor Is rounded on fact. Visions of Joyful hours spent on the Bmooth Ice which should cover the athletic field are to be entertained no longer, for the pow ers that be have looked Into the mat ter and find that k is Impracticable. At the regular monthly meeting ot the athletic board this was one of the hlef questions that came up for dis cusBlon Student Interest had beenoln raised to Buch a ptlch that the board realized the need ror action, either tnvorahle or adverse The committee which had been appointed to look into sbe feasibility of the plan made a geful investigation and reported that ijni the standpoint of the expense 'noninjury to the field the matter was impracticable.

Not only did this finding of the committee put a quietus on the plan. but further consideration revealed the fact that the ground would not bo la iit condition lor baseball and track next spring. The frequent melting of the ice during warm snaps would soak the ground to such a depth that it would require a long season of con tinued dry weather to make tho turt firm and in condition to withstand hard usage. "On the whole," Bald Dr. Jowott, of the athletic board, "lt is not safe to do it. The risk of ruining the field is so great that it should not be incurred for tho sake of a month and a half of skating. It is better that the plan be dispensed with."
