Coach Jim Shultz urged the Better Washington club to back securing and equipping a field, likely on South Fourth Street, to provide a leveled, sodded gridiron, cinder track, and bleachers. He argued receipts from games could cover costs over time and the field would serve year round as a playground and advertisement.
