The opening of Brewer Fieldhouse allowed runners to practice regardless of weather. Different teams--track, football, basketball--shared the Field House according to the seasons of the year.
With the addition of the field house, the track team season started at the end of the football season, continuing to the end of school. In years before, however, all the athletes could do before warm weather was maintain their condition. The extra practice was a deciding factor in many meets.
