four years of occupation by the eiieniy
and in a crippled industrial eoiidition,
set out to coustriict a huge . stadium
and mnke other arrangement for the
frames in abodit one year's time. Other
nations, scenes ot previous Olympiads
had had much more tune and more
favorable conditions.
Nevertheless,, .the stadium was com
lilctod in record time, having been
turned over by the -contractor to the
Belgium Olvnipif- committee, on Jlay
last. .
The stadium is something more than
three miles from the central biisines
distriet of Antwerp and Is reached hy
street railwav and steam r.lilwav lines
It has 1uen built of. stone, concrete,
steel and wood, with an iinpressivi
arched main entrance, lis total ca

is oval in shape. On two sides then
are 'roofed ''grandstands' where are
located the iioxes nnd reserved seats
At the two end of the oval, however
there nre no roofs but onlv a series
of steps like' those of the old Oreek
open-air theaters nccmnmodaling
thousands of spectators standing.
The tracks are the ordinary cinder
paths,' while the inside arena, where
will be held the Held events, is of well
kept turf.
The running track, oval, of course
is a fraction under Sl)0 met en to a lap
There is a straightaway., along one
side, sufficiently long for the 100
