■' Tiiesnar, li:arcn I,ISBS' Between The Lions Although Saturday’s ground-break ingceremonies dedicating Penn State’s ,5-million dollar building program fail ed to mention improvements for Lion sports teams and general student ath letic .facilities, possibilities for ad vancement are exceedingly bright. t Nothing official has been- made known. It isn’t rash to predict, how ever, that something will be done soon to correct a hopeless space deficit suf fered by Penn State athletics. Recreation hall, a comparatively modern building, is. excelicntfor two or-three thousand students, but it is sadly inadequate for the. present stu , dent body of over four thousand men. In addition to not being able to house large crowds for the indoor ath letic contests, Recreation hall is un healthy because of its crowded locked conditions, undesirable because it docs not jfivo. the average student space in which to play. . . the time will come—and again we say it isn’t far off—when Recreation Hall will be extended to the highway or else a .field house will be built, possibly on the present golf course. The field house would be the best plan, in the writer’s opinion, because it would take care of every -indoor team as well as provide ‘a sheltered practice pavilion for football, baseball, lacrosse, and the rest. Outdoor sports would benefit by the. expected program. Although the .golf | course would be cut down to nine holes i if other additions were made, another! site for nine more holes might be pro vided. At least two baseball diamonds would ' be included'in the hoped-for to end the situation which gives the varsity only one place on whigh to practice and the freshmen a dangerous field which is called a dia mond. . \ Tennis courts would, also be the order of the day and since ice hockey has taken hold this winter, the courts would possibly be built, with cement undcrcoveringi in order to.allow flood ing in winter to provide an excellent skating rink. - •. Practice fields for all activites could be made available on the present golf course. The general disorder which is caused by soccer, lacrosse, and other practices, will be gone. The erection of ten buildings will make for a bigger Penn State student body. Already overcrowded, Recrea tion hall definitely will be unable to handle the expected increase, in Penn State’s population: It seems only log ical to predict more athletic facilities ! soon.
