20 MEN WILL SPEND THREE MONTHS PAINTING BOWL SEATS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

New Haven, Conn., June 10--Yale bowl is receiving its triennial bath of paint. Every third year the woodwork in the great enclosure is given two coats of paint, a job which takes twenty men three months to complete.

There are twenty-five miles of seats to be painted and the rows of seats all have backs. Numbers are stencilled on each seat, there being 75.238 numbers to be painted. In all 1170 gallons of paint will be used in the work.

The wire fence extending around the Bowl also will receive a new dressing, black asphaltum being used on this job.

The exterior of the Bowl is being beautified, scores of pink rambler rose bushes having been planted.
