SIX TENNIS COURTS ARE REMOVED FOR MESS HALL

Six tennis courts adjoining Harvard Street at the Business School have been sacrificed to the war training program as a result of the groundbreaking Friday for the Naval Supply Corps' new mess hall.

Originally planned for construction on Soldiers Field, the building will occupy a space of 198 feet long and 110 wide on the west side of what remains of the tennis courts. Workmen are rushing excavation for the foundations even before the interior plans of the building are completed since engineers and architects are yet conferring about the final form of the blueprints.

Officials expect the large, new mess-hall, which will be completed in a relatively short time, to go far in alleviating the pinch on dining hall facilities caused by ever increasing numbers of war trainees at the Business School.
