ed and are being put up and Grad
uate Manager Charles T. Woollen
has sent to the alumni this week

point-"of view of numbers and gen

ing itself, the game is expected to
be the greatest football contest ever
staged in North Carolina.
The present game is the first
Carolina-Virginia to be played in
North Carolina. Former games have
been played in Richmond, except
in 1907, when the game was in
Norfolk. The agreement between
the two universities calls for the
game to be played before the stud
ent bodies of each university on al
ternate years, and the next game
will be played therefore, in Char
i lottesville.
The present concrete stand on
Emerson Field will seat $500 per-
sons and with the addition the
bleacher seats, which will be placed
on the opposite side of the field,
seats will be provided for 900 per
| sons. Every one of these seats will
| be reserved. To prevent the falling
into the hands of spectators they
will be sold direct to students and
! alumni. Several sections of the
stand will be reserved for the
cheering students, but all the rest
of the seats will be open to the
alumni.
