Mr.

Kenan made the gift in person here Saturday afternoon 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 adopted 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. 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 wrangling 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 beginning 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 Spalding 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 touchdown was allowed because a THETA RHO GETS PHI SIGMA KAPPA STADIUM DONOR IS AN ALUMNUS i 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.

INDUCTION SATURDAY PLAYED VARSITY SPORTS Has Strong Connections With University He Heads Many Important Concerns Now. Maryland youth was offside. During the halves, the Maryland 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 advanced the ball 30 yards. Another 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 Heagy made a beautiful one handed catch of Dobson's on page four) The coming week-end will mark the advent of the twenty-eighth national fraternity to be established here when the Theta Rho local fraternity will be installed as a- chapter of the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity. Extensive plans have been made by the Fraternity to celebrate the occasion and preparations are under way for the installation and the entertainment of the visitors who will attend; Friday and Saturday, November 19 and 20 have been set as the dates for the event. The ceremonies will begin Friday afternoon with the individual initiation of the members jf the local chapter by the visiting installation team. Friday evening the fraternity will honor its guests at a banquet at the Carolina Inn.

Saturday the actual Induction Ceremony will be held at which the Carolina Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa will be formally installed. The remainder of the Day will be devoted to the entertainment of the presence of the graduate manager, Charles T. Woollen, Robert Lassiter, of Charlotte, Dr. Foy Roberson, of Durham, and President Chase. "Mr.

Lassiter and Dr. Robeson are chairman and secretary, respectively, of a committee which has laid plans for a general campaign 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 amphitheater just back of the present athletic 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 provisions will be made to double this capacity when necessary. Both of the stadium will be left' open in order to have no undesirable seats, and at the same time insure a good circulation of air across the field. Track contests, as well as 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 weather at Chapel Hill in the fall and spring, band concerts, dramatic productions, graduation exercises, and all other similar attractions will be held in the new stadium.

William Rand Kenan, donor of the $275,000 Memorial Stadium 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 degree by the University authorities. 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 Carolina ripped off yardage almost at will until the ball approached the realms of scoring distance. Fumbles, incomplete passeg, and a grim set of Wildcat forwards halted the Tar, Heels' advance on each occasion when a score appeared to be forthcoming. McPherson, Jenkins, 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 dropped 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 superiority in the passing game and her ability to take advantage of breaks was enough to cast defeat into the Chapel Hill camp. Fierce tackling by the Tar Heel forwards was a chief feature of the contest. Schwartz, at center, stood out especially for his work on the defense.

Grey Right half Jenkins Nisbet Fullback Continued on page four) 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 Davidson 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 Carolina's 6-yard line. Three line plays placed the ball on the 1-yard mark. At this juncture Nesbit, Davidson fullback, pushed over the goal line on.

a play through tackle. Grey was successful in his try for extra point. A field goal in the third quarter completed Davidson's scoring-Gummed the Works The Davidson receivers appeared to have glue-covered hands. If it, is possible for one of these swift-moving ball catchers tcpmuff a pass, the fact was emphatically not demonstrated Saturday. Wells, Wildcat captain, gathered in two heaves that bordered on the phenomenal.

The Wildcats were successful in three out of four attempted passes; Carolina completed one out of five. 181 Yards for a Goose Egg A review of Carolina's earnings during the game results in 12 first downs, 181 yards from scrimmage, and a big zero on the score board. Davidson succeeded in registering only five first downs, and gained 81 yards from scrimmage. The Wildcat wall invariably stiffened when Tar Heel drives carried the action into, dangerous territory, and the team which last week swamped V. M.

Kenan, the latter a trustee, have all attended the University. Being originally from Wilmington, 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 prominent in campus activities as well as an outstanding athlete. He played Varsity baseball four years and Varsity football two years.

While a student at Carolina, he spent his summers in chemical research work with Dr. F. P. Venable, then professor of industrial chemistry.

The question of whether or not University dormitory rents should be raised to encourage the building of, dormitories by outside capitalists was practically 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 denote the needs of the University in the order of their importance, stated that the greatest need of the University was a bigger library. He considered the rest of items, including a gymnasium and new dormitories, of equal importance. Dr.

Archibald Henderson, of the University faculty, is away on a six weeks' trip to do research work on certain aspects of the theory of relativity. He is being assisted in this work by a grant from the. Rockefeller Foundation. While on this trip, Dr. Henderson will make addresses before the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Yale, and the New York Theater Guild.

He will also prepare articles for certain magazines along the line of his research work. 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..
