"A Wave, A Wac, and A Marine" Elyse Knox, Hermy Youngman Old Wooden Baseball Stand Plays Demolition Victim Role Erected in 1911, the wooden baseball graiadstand on New Beaver Field is being demolished. It was condemned because weather and use has deteriorated it beyond repair. When the field was enlarged in 1921 by draining and leveling the frog pond and reservoir, cutting out the woods, and grading the steep incline at the southwest end of the field, the grandstand was moved 150 yards from its original site to the present location, and the new baseball diamond was opened. In 1934 the bleachers and team shelters were condemned and re moved. A plan to put open steel bleachers from home plate to first and third bases was formed. Last year the grandstand was condemned completely and any .adequate repairs to meet state codes were prohibited. Also, the expense to repair it would have been too great so it was decided to demolish it. Any building Costing over $lOOO to build has to have the permiss ion of 'the War Production Board. Priority and authority from the WPB was unobtainable so 'the plan turned into a postwar one. The plan which was turned down was the building of open steel bleachers with a 42-inch fence and a 7-foot walk and curb along the side lines. There was to be a 30-foot backstop in back of home plate and two dugouts. Meanwhile, 'the plot where the grandstand stood will be graded and temporary bleachers and backstop will be put up for the duration. These bleachers will be removed at the end of the base ball season. The grandstand was erected by the class••o ; '1911 with the assist mice of alumni James L. Hamill, class of 'BO, deceased; James G. White, class of 'B2, deceased; and J. Franklin Shields, class of '92, , preSident of • the Board of Trus tees of the College.
