Committee on Arrangements. More Bleachers Added To Mark Watson Field The Committee on Athletics of Sylva High school has announced that bleachers with a seating capacity of 750 persons is being added to Mark Watson Field for the ? balance of the season. This will increase the seating capacity of the field to better than 1000, affording ample seats for all. The bleachers were borrowed for the balance of the season from WCTC. The seats are unusable at the college at present, due to construction of new buildings on one side of Hunter Field, so the college has lent them to the high school. The Sylva High school wishes to extend grateful thanks to WCTC for making the seats available for the balance of the football season.
