Tomorrow afternoon Coach Ash- A hirsute hoisting tale, narrated by a' quartet of students, of being in a literal shower of stones last week has led to the practice of violently sounding the whistle of the steam shovel down in the ravine where the new Kenan Memorial Stadium is being constructed when a dynamite discharge is to be fired. It is narrated that these four boys were nonchalantly wandering southward in the direction of the stadium site, which is now being excavated at a very rapid rate, when out of the blue a veritable rain of stones began to descend.

Seeking shelter and safety among the pines and the sheds of the construction shacks, they avoided being hurt by the falling stones, which were the result of a blast set-off to dislodge the rock ledge that im pedes the digging. One of the near-victims of the stone shower declared that he had gone through all the experiences of those in the "Big Parade." "Which is worse, lead and steel or stone?" he argued. Anyway it was a lucky escape. Now the steam-shovel operator sounds violently his whistle for several seconds before a blast is to be set off. Spectators interested in the progress being made on the new athletic field, are continually wandering down there to take a look.

At this time it will be the privilege of the Student Body to discuss the report of the Committee as freely as it may wish, and either accept or reject the report. It is expected that the meeting should be able to consider the report within the ordinary limits of Chapel period.

This report, which. was published in the Tar Heel for Saturday, March 26, was the result of oyer fifty hours research on the part of the committee of The Carolina cinderpath artists triumphed over the Duke harriers on Hanes Field, Durham, Saturday afternoon at 3 :00 p. m. after a hard fought struggle, ending with the score Carolina 63l2 and Duke Gray saved the day for Carolina when he jumped 21 feet 5 inches on his last jump. Duke was two points in the lead with the score 594 to 57 Va but Gray's five points and Sand7 lin's point brought up the score to 63i2.
