Dear Eddie: . | s

I would suggest that you have a crown of 18 inches
from the eenter of the field sloping to the side. If you
ere going to have a track around the field I would suggest
you have some crushed rock between the track and the football
field. That takes care of the drainage better.

The sodding, of course, is the best solution to the
drainage problem. If you have a good sod field and a crow

of 18 inches in the center, sloping to the sidelines on either |
side, you will have a field that will drain well. Some think
that 18 inshes is too much, but you searcely notice it and it
is moh more efficient than a 12 inch crown. : ‘

I trust this gives you the desired information.

ag Sincerely yours,

&

Director of Physical Rducation,
FPCAsAH " | Varsity Basketball Coach.
