Stadium Will Be Completed By
V Thanksgiving, Is New Report
University Of ficials Deny Statement that Work Will Last until
January 1st; Rumored that V. M. h Game Will ,
Be Played in New Field.
Looking 'em over
with
Luther Byrd
The report that the Kenan Mem
'. orial Stadium would not be completed
in time for the Thanksgiving: football
game with the Virginia Cavaliers was
an incorrect statement according to
University authorities. The pouring
of concrete into the wooden forms is
about to begin. . ' ,v
It is expected that turf will solve
the problem of an equal playing sur
face. - The excavation job waa con
siderably hindered and slowed by the
.unexpected encountering of ; huge
' masses of rock and approximately ten
times as much blasting is being done
as was formerly intended. However,
the greater part of the blasting has
come to an end, and any other blasts
which may be heard on the campus
will come from the shattering of sev
eral loose boulders which are scat
tered around. .'.:.' '. ., "
It was believed when the rock was
first encountered that the -concrete
work and the actual construction of
the large stands would be delayed
about two months,' causing the com
pletion to fall on about January 1.
However the wooden iorms aoout tne
field already show the outlines of
seats.
The severeness of the , explosions
have been caused by a ledge of heavy
solid granite formation said to ex
tend under a. great part of. the vil
lage. , Fully fifty . percent of the
foundation of , the Stadium is hard
rock. A sixteen-hour shift is at pres1
ent in :: operation, stopping about
twelve o'ciock p. m. Thirty-three men
are employed on the job of excavation.
Many complaints have been received.
by the construction company on ac
count of the concussions from the
blasting, and for that reason smaller
charges of dynamite are now being
used., "Windows in several of the
campus buildings have been broken
by the severe shocks. ' ,
It is estimated that a full delay of
about six weeks has been caused in
the excavation. From unofficial
sources it has been reported that the
Stadium will be completed in time to
play the V. M. I. game in it. This
contest takes place three weeks before
Thanksgiving. However this- is not
definitely known as yet. ) ;"-" S
' Gossip circulates the rumor that the
amount lost by the Nello Construction
Company due to the delays will aggre
gate over $10,000. ; v

Plan Bank of Richmond .will speak
every morning at 9:30 in 113 Saun
ders Hall. Mr. Woolcott has been to
the University before in the same
capacity as a lecturer. His interest

of North Carolina, but to many other
institutions as well. ' v
He will point out many details of
the Morris Plan system, : and "; give
practical information , to interested
students. Although the lectures are
primarily intended for Commerce stu
dents any one who is interested in
banking is cordially invited to attend
these lectures. ; - ,:
' Mr. Woolcott was formerly, sche
duled to come down this week but on
account of the illness of his wife he
was forced to postpone his visits un
til next week.
Spanish Club to Hold Meeting
A Spanish cena at the home of Dr.
N. B. Adams Wednesday evening,
May 25 at seven o'clock will give a
muy delidoso termination to ' the
years work of the Spanish Club, El
Centro Hispano. A regular Spanish
mal with the necessary accessory
ensaladas y postrea will compose the
menu.
Cars will meet the' club members
at the West gate of the campus and
carry them to the host's home on
Pittsboro road.
(There is . something new un
der the sun ! . At least Coach Bob
Fetzer and his 4 assistants v are
hoping it will be "under the
sun." In fact their fevery prayer
this week has been that the
Weather Man cast favorable
glances toward the "Hill" , pn
Saturday when - athletes from
prep schools all over the South
come here for the first annual
Southern InterrScholastic Track
and Field Championship games.
Already five of the best pre
paratory schools in this section
have sent in entries and includ
ed in these entry lists are a num
ber of fine athletes who may
carry Tar Heel colors to victory
in the next few years. I say
may, for unless they return home
with a favorable impression of
their -reception here - Saturday
they will cast their lot with oth
er colleges or universities. ,
'.'-..
And therein lies the responsi
bility of every, Carolina man on
'the Hill." .Many of the schools
entering men have alumni in the
University, and of course these
alumni will look after men from
their own school. 1 v Woodberry
Forest in particular, has a strong
alumni club here, and Augusta
has a number of prominent
alumni here. However, it is up
to every Tar Heel to make the
visitors feel at home.
There is too much of an in
clination to low-rate the calibre
of high and prep school athletics
when such events are carded for
Carolina courts and "fields, but a
glance at the records of some of
the . entries for Saturday's meet
shows that the competition then
will be keen indeed.
Woodberry Forest is entering
a strong team, and with it comes
three men in particular that will
be worth watching. 1 They are
Rhoads, Motley and Yarborough.
Rhoads heaves the discus close
to '130 feet.- In fact his record
stands at 129 -feet 1 11 inches.
Matley does around 48 feet with
the shot, and has pushed Rhoads
in ( the discus. .Then, too, Yar
borough has done: the low hur
dles in 26 seconds flat, which is
a mark college stars shoot at
each season. - "
.''',''',"'. "' ':... ; '. v
Incidentally this same Yarbor
ough. is a North Carolina ' boy
and a brother of Carolina's own
Hill Yorborough, who ran the
low hurdles for the Tar Heels
for four years. The writer re
members meeting this kid four
years ago when the. -freshman
track squad met the Woodberry
track and field men -at Orange.
Even then "Kid" Yarborough,
expressed an ambition to follow
in his brother's . footsteps and
run the hurdles for Carolina.
Looks like that ambition may be
realized ! ' .' ' '
. Asheville School is sending the
largest number of men of any
team entered to date. Already
they have filed entry blanks for
sixteen contestants, and included
among these sixteen are some of
the, finest talent in the South.
The two Sawyers (not brothers)
have a monopoly on several
events, for between them they
share seven events. - ; '
... . ..
Altogether now,, gang, let's
be out on Emerson Field Satur
day afternoon and i put . Coach
Bob's first annual "Southern Inter-Scholastic
Track, and Field
Championship Games" over V in
big order!
, This meet marks a new ven
ture for Carolina and it is going
to take more than the mere work
by the athletic authorities of the
University, to put it across. For
many years the Extension Divi
sion has sponsored the annual
State High School Meet, but this
is the . first step taken toward
sponsoring any, South-wide tour
nament. Indeed it will be the
first strictly prep school meet
ever; held in the state. t Coach
Bob hopes to make it an annual
affairv but it must go over big
this year to grow as it should in
years to come.
