To the editors of the CRIMSON:

In Mr. Whittemore's recent communications to the CRIMSON and the Bulletin on the subject of the lack of a shelter on the visitors' sidelines at the Stadium during the early part of the season, he seems to be laboring under a misapprehension as to the principal purpose of the shelter on the Harvard side. That purpose is mainly the protection of balls, blankets, etc., during the daily practice in case of wet weather. It is of course desirable to have such a shelter on both sides in case of rain during the games. As a matter of fact, the Harvard shelter is about as unpleasant a structure to sit in under ordinary conditions as could be constructed, though it is natural enough for the ordinary spectator, perhaps, to feel that we are slighting our visiting teams. The undergraduate managers are instructed to explain to visiting managers the purpose of the structure on the Harvard side and the reason why one is not constructed on the other side until after the track season. The daily practice of the track team in the fall is of great importance, and it has seemed unwise to handicap it more than was absolutely necessary. However, I might state that before this public discussion began, a suspended shelter which would be a protection against possible rain without interfering with the use of the track was already planned.  FRED W.
