Planting the Stadium
Speed with Which the Job is Done
Appears Almost Magic

In and around the Kenan sta
dium during the ten-day interval
between the Davidson and Vir-
ginia games, engineering and ar
chitecture gave way to botany.
At almost any hour of the day
w. C. Coker, the community's
master outdoor floral decorator,
would be seen strolling across
the field, or along the top Of the
stands, with his eye upon the
activities of scores of workmen
who laid strips of turf over bare
stretches, dug pits and bitches,
and set out trees and shrubs.
The hillside slopes at the ends
of the concrete stands were
turfed, and dotted with dog
woods and pines. Rows of cedars
were planted along the high
wire fences, at both ends of the
great enclosure. Against the
field house appeared dark ever
greens, forming a fine color har-
mony with the stucco walls and
the red-tile roof. Giant and box
privet was set up to serve as
borders for the gravel paths.
Day after day trucks brought
in the turf, shrubs, and trees
from the surrounding country.
The speed with which the plant
ing was done seemed almost
magical.

ter Hotel, Dec. l to 10

The faculty and students of
the University and other people
in Chapel Hill are invited to at
tend the art exhibit in Raleigh

and all who want rides, are ask
ed to communicate with Mrs.
Metzenthin. Chapel Hills spe-
cial day will be designated at
the club meeting on Friday of

For the hanging of the pic
lures a wall has been construct
ed in the dining room of the Sir
Walter hotel. The pictures come
from the Grand Central CALLER
les in New York. They repre-
sent the work of Americas most
famous artists and are valued at
100000.
A gift of $500 from Mrs. Pc
ter Arlington of Warrenton
made the exhibit possible. The
other half of the required
amount of $1,000 is to be pro-
vided by patrons and patron
esses who are sufficiently inter-
ested in the cause of art to con-
tribute $40 each.

HILL PURCHASE
Is PROTECTION
TO UNIVERSITY
At Auction Sale Trustee Buys
Block of Four Stores Ad-
joining the Campus
OTHER PROPERTIES SOLD

At the auction sale held by the
receivers of the Chapel Hill In
surance and Realty Company
Tuesday, John Sprunt Hill
bought for $63,650 the block Of
four main street stores abutting
on the Methodist churchyard
and the campus. AS far as the
record goes he was bidding sim
ply as an individual, but actually
the purchase was made as a
measure of protection to the Uni
versity.
1t is possible that some day
the University may be in a posi-
ton to acquire this land. Mr..
Hill, a trustee and a member of
the trustees building commit
tee, wants the property to re-
main, in the meantime, in proper
hands.
About ten years ago the real
ty company bought this block
of stores for $4,000.
At Tuesdays sale the Peo-
Piles Bank building went to Lueco
Lloyd for $4,000 and the Chap
ell Hill Hardware store to l.. P.
McLendon for $22, 500. A. H.
London of Pittsboro appeared
for awhile to be the highest bid
der on the house occupied by
Mrs. M. w. Daniel, but later w.
E. Thompson of Efland took
precedence with an offer of ST.
800, the conditions of the sale
providing that the receivers
might take a raised bid at any
time.
Of the three lots between the
Daniel home and the main street,
each with a frontage of 25 feet,
Moody Durham bought two for
$4,000, or at the rate of $240

New Street Lights
Lamps, Mounted on Posts, Borrowed
by the Town from the University

Ten new lights, mounted on
posts spaced 100 feet apart, have
been installed on the north side
of the main street between the
post office and the corner of Co
lumbia street. They were bor-
rowed from the University and
are identical with those on the
campus. The octagon-shaped
lamp-frames rest upon slender,
fluted columns. Each, of the
frames contains one 250-watt
electric bulb, I
The sidewalk on the north side
of the street is being paved from
curb to building line; so the
lamp posts were set up at this
time in order to prevent the ne
cessity of tearing up the con-
crete later on. Mr.. Knox, the
town manager, says he hopes to
have lights on the south side
some time soon.
Heretofore the street has been
Illuminated by lights swung
over the middle of the roadway.
The use of these center lights
will be continued until both
sides have the new lamps.

AS a spectacle and as sport, the
contest could not have been better.
The weather was mild and fair. The
stands were filled, and four thous-
and onlookers standing behind the
rear parapet and sitting on the slopes
at the ends of the stands, brought
the total attendance to $4,000. Four
bands marched and played, one after
the other: those of the two univer-
sites, the high school band from
Lenoir, and the stalwart buglers and
drummers of the Charlotte Drum
Corps with their scarlet coats, white
breeches, and glistening steel helmets
and black boots. The Cheerios went
through evolutions on the field before
the match and between the halves. In
their white uniforms against the
green turf, they spelled KENAN, and
afterward U. VA. and u. N. c.,
amid cheers from the throng.
Before the play began there were
dedication exercises, in which the sta
dium was presented on behalf of Will
liam r. Kenan, Jr., and accepted for
the State and the University by Gov
ernor. Mclean. Most of the crowd

Legion Chief Here
Edward +. Spafford Comes over from
Raleigh with General Cox

Edward E. Spafford, national
commander of the American
Legion, was in Chapel Hill for
about an hour Tuesday after
noon. He had come to Raleigh
on his way back to New York
from a tour of the South, and
General Albert Cox brought him
over here from the capital.
Post Commander J. o. Har-
mon, Robert B. House, Addison
Hibbard, A. II. Patterson, John
M. Booker and others met him
at the South building. Thence
he was taken through the cam
pus, to the Kenan stadium, and
to the Country Club. Mr.. Har-
mon introduced General Cox and
General Cox introduced the
guest, both with admirable brew
ity, and then Mr.. Spafford made
a talk of about ten minutes. He
laid particular emphasis upon
the obligation of the Legion to
disabled veterans and their fam
lilies. What he said and his man
ner of address made deep i'm
preston upon the gathering.
A barbecue was served under
the direction of Chapel Hills
prince royal in the art of bar
becuing, Charles E. Gooch.

Tar Heels Big Issue
5000 Copies of 16-Page Paper Put
Out by the Students

The Thanksgiving Day num-
ber of the Tar Heel, the Univer-
sity of North Carolina students
newspaper, devoted to the foot
ball game and the new Kenan
stadium, was the largest issue
of a newspaper ever put out
here. 1t contained 16 pages, in
cluding a 4-page illustrated rota-
gravure section, and 1000 copies
were printed. Judd Ashby, 10
Bobbitt, and w. w. Neal were
the directors of the project.
The illustrated section was
printed in Raleigh, the other IL
pages in the Orange Printshop
here. Turning out the augment
ed Tar Heel besides the Chapel
Hill Weekly, the printshop was
a scene of feverish activity this
week

had to take this ceremony on faith,
since the speakers voices could be
heard by only the relatively few spec
tators who were in hearing distance
of the guest box. Persons in the
south stand who were equipped with
field glasses aimed them across the
field and informed their neighbors
that this or that celebrity was speak
ing.
In view Of the record of the two
teams, the outcome can hardly be con-
sidered other than satisfactory to Tar
Heel supporters, for Virginia had had
succession of victories Except in
the Tennessee game, in which it enter
ed team made up mostly Of sub
stitutes), while Carolina had had a
disastrous season until it started its
comeback with the Davidson match.
But the fact that Carolina gained,
and held through most of the game,
such long lead over Virginia, left
the crowd rather disappointed, at the
end, with the result, When Carolina
has had time to think it over, however,
and recall what slim chance it was
thought to have three weeks ago, it
will decide it came out Of the fray
very well.
In the fundamentals Of the game,
getting down under kicks, breaking
through the line when on defense,
breaking UP interference, and tackling
in the field,-- Carolina players ex-
celled their opponents during most of
the contest. Taking the game as a
whole, their victory was deserved. But
Virginians showed courage and re-
sourcefulness which won them the adj
miration Of ali bcholders. They never
showed the least sign Of discourage
ment, and at the end were going
stronger than ever before.
AS the spectators poured out Of the
b~sNSt Aaethg Va shCin WtAS HcaHQ w
say that the sending in of substi-
tute Carolina backfeId toward the
end Of the last quarter was respon-
sible for Virginia's touchdowns. But
that is mere guessing. Virginia made
its touchdowns by brilliant playing.
Carolina was effective in two
branches Of the game In which it had
been weak during the season; punting,
and kiieikEisftg goal after touchdown.
Most of FerreIl's and Wards punts
had good distance.
Young came UP to expectations in
being q great ground-gainer, and was
ably seconded by Ward, Foard and
Gresham. Paris played a remarkably
fine game At guard. Furehes, at quar-
ter during most Of the match, ran his
plays with good judgment. gchWsrtz
and Presscn did fne work on the az
fensiye.

DIAL TELEPHONE
SYSTEM DELAYED
ALITTLE WHILE
While Bennett Collects Data
About Kinds of Service
Subscribers Want
RATE QUESTION STUDIED

Despite heroic efforts to get
the automatic telephones into
use on the date first announced
for the opening, December 3,
Chapel Hill will have to wait a
week or two longer for the opera
ton of the new system.
The installation is about done,
and, if it were only a question
of the physical connections,
there would be no delay. But
the company has not been able
to get complete information from
subscribers about the character
of service desired, and the State
Corporation Commission has not
determined upon the increase in
rates in time for advance infor-
nation to be given to the pub
lie.
j. S. Bennett sent out reply
postcards Saturday asking each
subscriber what kind of tele-
phone was wanted: private or
party line, desk or wall type of
instrument. The answers are
coming in rapidly and Mr.. Ben
nett expects to know within a
day or two just what kind of in
stallation to make in every home,
office, and place of business.
The determination of the in
crease in rates involves many
complicated questions. One fac
tor entering into the problem is
the amount of the new invest
ment; another is the cost of OPP
Grafton; another is the increase
in gross revenue that may be
reasonably anticipated from the
steady augmentation in the num-
Der of subscribers.
Operation of the automatic
telephones is impossible until a
directory is available, and the
directory cannot be printed, of
course, until the company pre-
pares a complete list of subscrib-
ers and assigns them their num-
bers. Now, if anybody doesn't
know the number of the person
he wants to call, he can ask cen-
tral; but in order to work the
: dial, under the automatic plan,
he has got to know the number.
The new central office build
ing on Rosemary lane, behind
the Presbyterian church, is fin
ished and the intricate electrical
mechanism is ready to buzz.

Chapel Hill Chaf

Mrs. Mary Phillips Werner of
Columbia, South Carolina, lived
in Chapel Hill half a century
ago when her father, Charles
Phillips, was a professor in the
University. '"The article in last
weeks issue about trees" she
writes, reminds me of a story
my mother told me of an order
that went forth, from some
where, that the trees on the
main street were to be cut down
or be closely trimmed. When
the executioners reached the
elms in front of our house-now
the Presbyterian Manse, l think,
and the Mallett family lived
opposite where Mr.. Howell now
lives-Mrs. Mallett and my
mother went out and positively
forbade the cutting of their
beautiful trees, and so the men
left their jobs unfinished. Next
week the Hillsboro Recorder re-
ported that the cutting of the
trees in Chapel Hill had been
stopped by two irate females
who drove the workmen Off AT
any rate, they saved the trees.
l am thankful many men and
women of this generation have
the same feeling about the trees
in Chapel HILL"

was in Nashville a few days ago

was interviewed about relatively

hour DR.. Henderson talked fas-
cinatingly of the Einstein the
ory," writes Mr.. Alexander,
(which, he says, is really the
ory of co-relativity." So now all
is perfectly clear.
