The management of the football association has shown commendable enterprise in ridding Jarvis Field of the unsightly and unsafe row of wooden seats on the south side of the field. In their place a far more comfortable and substantial set of seats is now being built. Last year the old seats were found to be totally inadequate for the needs of the crowd coming out see the championship football games, and many and loud were the complaints on that score. The spectators will now have every opportunity of viewing a game with comfort, untormented by the constant fear of some rotten plank giving way under foot. We understand that the north side of the field will be improved in the same way, as the seats there are in an extremely dilapidated condition.
It might be well to suggest here that, as the football players are constantly annoyed afternoons by the crowd surging within bounds on the field, hereafter a rope be stretched around the field as in the Technology game, and no one except the players allowed to enter inside. As long as there is nothing but the remonstrances of the captain and coaches to keep the men off the field, the evil cannot be remedied.
