The question of whether or not temporary grand stands shall be erected on Holmes field for the baseball and track games will be considered; and since if no seats are allowed on the Field there can hardly be any baseball or track games held there, the discussion will practically be on the advisability of removing all remaining athletics from Holmes to Soldiers Field.
