A steam pipe in Dillon Field House and flooded a boiler room yesterday, but sports equipment stored there was undamaged, a Buildings and Grounds (B & G) spokesman said yesterday.

Members of the men's varsity track team discovered the flooding and reported it to the police at 2 a.m. yesterday. By noon, B & G workers finished pumping out the water, which had almost risen to the second floor of the two-story boiler room.

John P. Reardon '60, director of athletics, said yesterday his department had already decided to renovate the field house this summer because of the faulty plumbing.
