Pomeroy Field Delayed For Panthers This Season
Pomeroy, Aug. 16. Local football fans will not see the Panthers use their own field this season though progress is evident on the field behind the Junior High. Practice will be possible and one or two games may be held there. The team will use shower and locker facilities in the auxiliary building at the Senior High rear, secured last winter through C W A. Work, aided by CWA and FERA funds, involves hillside removal and riverbank parking lot prep. Continued slips slowed progress but are now under control.
