...kind of structure necessary. Among the plans thus far suggested is that of building a fence similar to the one enclosing Soldiers Field, with the main idea of securing "exclusiveness." Such a formidable fence would not suit the present requirements. The fence in question was built from a practical standpoint only, for such was the exigency of the case.

As it was, Foster's home run barely saved Harvard from what might have been a veritable defeat...
