PASSING FEATURES GAME
Carolina Frosh Miss Two Good
Chances To Score To Break
, the Tie.
The Carolina freshmen played
the Maryland freshmen off their
leet on Emerson field Saturday
but had to be satisfied with a
7 to 7 tie. The game itself was
one of the poorest exhibitions
ever played on Emerson field
owing to the-incessant wrang
ling of both teams with the of
iicials, and several fights between
players that were narrowly
-averted.
The Tar Babies were the first
"to score when just after the be
ginning of the second quarter,
'Spalding on a delayed triple pass
circled right end for eight yards
and a touchdown. A series of
-end runs ' by Ward and Spald
ing and a twenty yard forward
pass, Ward to Snider, carried the
ball from Carolina's 45 yard line
to Maryland's eight yard line,
from whence Spalding made his
surprise dash for six points.
Whisnant's dropkick was broken
up, but the point after touch
down was allowed because a
Maryland youth was offside.
During the halves, the Mary
land coach must have imbibed
his players with aerial desires,
for in the third quarter just as
soon as Maryland got her hands
'on the ball, she started forward
passing. Standing on his own
:15 yard line, Roberts, Maryland
quarter hurled a pass to Dodson,
Maryland halfback, that ad
vanced the ball 30 yards. An
other pass was completed for
'20 more yards. A third pass,
two plays later, again was good
for 15 more yards, and the ball
was on the Tar Babies 16 yard
line. (Shades of the Davidson
catastrophe!) Line plays failed,
and for the fourth time, the
JVlarylanders hurled the ball into
;space. Heagy made a beautiful
one handed catch of Dobson's

Budget Commission Hears Executive
Committee of Trustees--Li-brary
Greatest Need.
"The executive committee of
the University Board of Trus
tees met with the State Budget
commission at Raleigh Friday
to discuss the situation in re
gards to the request of the exe
cutive committee for appropria
tions. The question of whether or
not University dormitory rents
should be raised to encourage
the building of, dormitories by
outside capitalists was practi
cally ignored by the men at the
meeting. The rents will remain
as they are for sometime to
come, it is understood.
President Chase, asked to de
note the needs of the Univer
sity in the order of their im
portance, stated that the great
est need of the University was a
bigger library. He considered
the rest of items, including a
gymnasium and new dormi
tories, of equal importance.

NEW STADIUM OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
Carolina's dream of a new stadium has finally been realized through the gift of $275,000 by William R. Kenan. There will be
12,000 seats on each side, but, contrary to the above pictufe, both ends will be left open, according to the latest plans.
When the first picture of the stadium was made, the plans were to erect a structure to accommodate 35,000 people. 'The plans adopt
ed when. Mr. Kenan made his gift call for a decrease in seating capacity. The stadium, as is now contemplated, will follow the original
design, with the exception that the horseshoe scheme will not be used.

TAR HEELS, WEAK ON AIR ATTACK;
DEFEATED BY DAVIDSQN 10 TOO
Carolina Is Visitor and Victim At Wildcats' Dedication Of New
Stadium Passing and Grey's Kicking Prove Un
' doing of Heavy Collinsmen.
M. G. Little, of the University
Extension Division, delivered an
address before an assembly of
the Pender County Teacher's
Association last week at Bur
gaw, N. C.
, Davidson dedicated its new
stadium Saturday with a-10 to
0 win over the strong University
of North Carolina eleven.
The score, a surprising upset
of dope, was featured by the
Wildcats' alertness in critical
moments throughout the entire
four periods.
Monk Younger had accurately
foreseen the inability of David
son to defeat the heavier Tar
Heel team by use of straight
football. Consequently, the air
became full of pigskin ' in the
first few minutes of play, and the
Wildcats alloWed the game to be
resumed on an earthly basis only
when the ball had been advanced
on successive passes to Caro
lina's 6-yard line. Three line
plays placed the ball on the 1
yard mark. At this juncture
Nesbit, Davidson fullback, push
ed over the goal line on. a play
through tackle. . Grey was suc
cessful in his try for extra point.
A field goal in the third quarter
completed Davidson's scoring
Gummed the Works
The Davidson receivers ap
peared to have glue-covered
hands. If it, is possible for one
of these swift-moving ball catch
ers tcpmuff a pass, the fact was
emphatically not demonstrated
Saturday. Wells, Wildcat cap
tain, gathered in two heaves that
bordered on the phenomenal.
The Wildcats were success
ful in three out of four attempt
ed passes; Carolina completed
one out of five. x
181 Yards for a Goose Egg
A review of Carolina's earn
ings during the game results in
12 first downs, 181 yards from
scrimmage, and a big zero on
the score board. Davidson suc
ceeded in registering only five
first downs, and gained 81 yards
from scrimmage. The Wildcat
wall invariably stiffened when
Tar Heel drives carried the ac
tion into, dangerous territory,
and the team which last week
swamped V. M. I. was unable to
register even a point against the
presbyterian eleven.
Tar Heels Show Strength
Throughout the game, and es
pecially in : the second quarter,
Carolina ripped off yardage al
most at will until the ball ap
proached the realms of scoring
distance. Fumbles, incomplete
passeg, and a grim set of Wild
cat forwards halted the Tar,
Heels' advance on each occasion
when a score appeared to be
forthcoming. McPherson, Jen
kins, Gresham, Shuford, and
Ferrell made numerous lengthy
gains.
Toe Told Tale
In the third quarter Davidson
gained possession of the ball
when Carolina fumbled on its
own 41-yard line. Younger's
team made two successive first
downs, one on line plays and
one by a pass. Two attempts
to penetrate the Blue and White
forward wall failed. Grey drop
ped back and booted the ball over
the crossbar for three points and
the last score of the game.
Davidson stiffened in the final
quarter and smeared the Tar
Heel offense time after time.
' During the game, Carolina
displayed a greater show of
strength and a smooth working
attack ; but Davidson's superior
ity in the passing game and her
ability to take advantage of
breaks was enough to cast de
feat into the Chapel Hill camp.
Fierce tackling by the Tar
Heel forwards was a chief fea
ture of the contest. Schwartz,
at center, stood out especially for
his work on the defense.

Has Strong Connections With
University He Heads Many
Important Concerns Now.
William Rand Kenan, donor
of the $275,000 Memorial Sta
dium to Carolina, is one of the
most outstanding alumni of this
institution. He is a native North
Carolinian, and besides being a
graduate of the class of 1894,
there are many other ties which
bind . him . closely to his Alma
Mater.
His father, William Rand
Kenan, came to the University
with the class of 1864 but left
after a short time to join the
forces of the Confederacy. He
was afterward awarded his de
gree by the University authori
ties. His mother, Mary Har
grave, was a Chapel Hill girl.
Her family home was located on
the corner of East Franklin and
Columbia streets, the site which
is now occupied by the An-drews-Henninger
store.
Mr. Kenan , has a number of
other relatives who have taken
an active part in the affairs of
the University. Two uncles,
Thomas S! and James G. Kenan,
the latter a trustee, and three
cousins, Owen H. and Thomas
S. Kenan, and James G. Kenan,
the latter a trustee, have all at
tended the University.
Being originally from Wil
mington, Mr. Kenan attended
the Tileston high school there
and Horner's Military School at
Oxford before he entered the
University. During his stay at
the, University, Ke was promin
ent in campus activities as well
as an outstanding athlete. He
played Varsity baseball four
years and Varsity football two
years. While a student at Caro
lina, he spent his summers in
chemical research work with
Dr. F. P. Venable, then profes
sor of industrial chemistry.
Their, investigations led to the
determination of a formula for
carbide and the discovery that

With the gift of $275,000 by
William Rand Kenan, a Carolina
alumnus and now a prominent
engineer of New York city,
work will be begun at once on
the new University Memorial
Stadium, which has a seating
capacity of 24,000 people and
be located somewhere near the
present Emerson Field.' The do
nation is in memory of Mr.
Kenan's mother, Mary Har
grave, and father, William Rand
Kenan, and the structure will
be known as the Kenan Memo
rial Stadium.
Mr. Kenan made the gift in
person here Saturday afternoon
lin President Chase's office, in
the presence of the graduate
manager, Charles T. Woollen,
Robert Lassiter, of Charlotte,
Dr. Foy Roberson, of Durham,
and President Chase. "Mr. Las
siter and " Dr. Robeson are
chairman and secretary, re
spectively, of a committee which
has laid plans for a general cam
paign among Carolina alumni
for funds for the stadium, but
Mr. Kenan's gift has made this
drive unnecessary.
The site of the new stadium
has not been definitely decided,
but it is probable that it will be
located in a natural amphithea
ter just back of the present ath
letic field. If it is built here it
will be easily accessible from
all directions by automobile.
There will be 12,000 seats on
each side of the field, and pro
visions will be made to double
this capacity when necessary.
Both .ends of the stadium will be
left' open in order to have no un
desirable seats, and at the same
time insure a good circulation
of air across the field.
Track contests, as well as
football", will be held in this new
stadium. A quarter-mile cinder
track will surround the field
and there will be a straight
track for dashes similar to the
present one.
With so much pleasant weath
er at Chapel Hill in the fall and
spring, band concerts, dramatic
productions, graduation exer
cises, and all other similar at
tractions will be held in the new
stadium. -
