Ticscnt steel shortage will
hinder the completion of the uni
versity field house until after the
present war according to John
K. Selleck, business agent for
athletics.
The south half is hoped to be
finished for use this fall, but
the arena can not be completed
until after this war," Selleck re
marked. The arena will be a
large area inside of the field
house that will be used for in
door football and baseball prac
tice ground.
Orginal Plans Dropped.
Because of the uncertainty of
the weather during spring foot
ball practice most of the time is
spent indoors. Selleck said. "The
arena was to be completed first
so that spring practice would not
be held up because of unfavorable
weather. But because of steel
shortage this part of the building
had to be abandoned."
The south half of the field house
where football and baseball equip
ment rooms are to be located is
progressing exceptionally well un
der the present weather conditions.
The basement of the south half
is finished according to Selleck,
and the first and second floors
are nearly done.
Nine Handball Courts.
In the second floor of the field
house nine full-size handball courts
will be housed. All of the out
door sports will be in the new
building and the locker rooms,
equipment rooms and training
rooms will be moved from the east
stadium to the new field house.
A large football clock will be
put over the main doorway lead
ing into the field house and at
the top of the structure a elec
trical operated scoreboard will be
placed.
In building the field house, 135
tons of structural steel will be

used. Six carloads of glazed tile
have been ordered and 80 percent
of it has been already put in the
building.
When the weather is favorable
a crew from 60 to 65 men are
employed. Up to the present the
WPA have been doing the work
on the field house but in a few
months they will have finished
their part, and private contractors
will complete the building.
