With the completion of Unit A during the summer, which involved the replacement of the old wooden seats with concrete, approximately 6,000 seats were added to the ca parity of the present coliseum by a better arrangement of aisles and exits, Eddy stated.
The full complement of 105,000 seats, the capacity of the coliseum when the present addition i3 completed, will be available for the Notre Dame game which will be played as the Trojans' homecoming contest on December 6, according to Eddy. As various sections of the new addition are finished, however, they will be made available for other games on the S.

Regular session ____________6,408
Summer session -........... 5,233

Total for 1929 30................18,631
Minus duplications __________ 2,494
Net total .....................17,187
With this figure, Southern California ranks as one of the largest universities in the nation. Its growth has been phenomenal since Its founding In 1880.
