EQUIPMENT

The men’s gymnasium, 200 by 100 feet, with an annex 225 by 84 feet,
is located on the shore of Lake Mendota. On the ground floor are the
offices, locker rooms, showers, and swimming pool. The second floor is an
unobstructed hall 165 by 98 feet, used for military science, intramural ac-
tivities, and varsity basketball. The main gymnasium hall, 165 by 65 feet,
is located on the third floor and includes the usual gymnasium equipment,
wrestling room, and handball courts. The annex is equipped with a 12-lap
cinder track, a baseball cage, and a rowing room.

The outdoor facilities of the department include the university athletic
field of 33 acres at Camp Randall; a concrete stadium seating 42,000; a
quarter-mile track with a 220-yard straightaway; the varsity football field
within the quarter-mile track, and five additional football fields; a varsity
baseball diamond, two freshman diamonds, and six additional practice fields;
and 24 tennis courts. The new intramural fields comprise thirteen acres of
ground; included in this area are four regulation football fields serving a
dual purpose (three regulation baseball diamonds are laid out on this area
in the spring), thirteen tennis courts, a sixth-mile track, a 120-yard
straightaway, an area for high-jumping, pole-vaulting, and javelin throw-
ing, and three diamond-ball courts. The construction of a golf course is
also being considered.

The lower campus, an open playground of two acres located directly in
front of the men’s gymnasium, is used for the required activities of the de-
partment during the early fall and spring. During the winter months this
campus is flooded and used for varsity and intramural hockey.

The new field house, 234 by 205 feet, now under construction at the
southwest corner of Camp Randall, is expected to be in operation by Octo-
ber, 1930. The track facilities in this building include an eighth-mile track,
two 60-yard straightaways, and a moulder’s clay surface for field events.
Basketball facilities include an exhibition and a practice court, both with
removable floors in order to permit football practice in the fall and baseball
in the spring, during periods of inclement weather. The field house will
seat 8,000 spectators, with provisions for an increase up to 12,000.
