from injuries received in the

received a blow over the left eye which
caused a clot on the brain and the
Kentucky player died after an operation which, until his death, was
thought to be successful.
The injury which caused the death
of the Blue and White player was received a few minutes before theend of
the first half of the game Saturday.
From the sidelines it was not possi-a1l- e
to see that McLean was injured,
although on one play he lined up slowly and paused as if to catch his
breath. On the next play the center
got into position, apparently without
any trouble. On the field, however,

The Kentuckiau this year has
a space set aside to be devoted
to the Beauty Section which will
contain the six prettiest girls in
the university. Voting will take
place next Tuesday, so watch
all posters for information and
all girls for the beauty section.

A. O. Whipple, superintendent of
grounds of the University has been
instructed to make soundings of the
site on which the football stadium of
the University is to be placed, following a meeting of the University of
Kentucky stadium executive committee, held Friday at the Lafayette Hotel.
The stadium will be completed by
September, 1924, according to the
plans outlined by J. Irvine Lylc, general manager of the Carrier Engineering Company, of New York, who is
head of the committee appointed to
supervise the erection of the football
structure.
The stadium will be erected thirty
feet south of Winslow street, on a
line with, and adjoining the new basketball building, which is now under
construction. Both structures will be
surrounded by an ornamental fence.
The architecture will conform with
that of the basketball building. The
stadium will be in the form of the letter "U." There will be 32 tiers of
seats, affording a seating capacity of
21,000 persons. Provision will also be
made for the erection of bleachers
across the open end.
Mr. Lylc has been in touch during
the fall and summer with a number
of the leading stadium architects of
the country, some of whom will be
asked to pass upon the stadium plans
in an advisory capacity. The architect
is under consideration by the commitMr. Lyle is visiting larger uni- tee.

Memorial services were held Tuesday at the fifth hour in the chapel for
Price Innes McLean, who died Sunday
at 7:30 following an operation for a
blow on the head received in the football game Saturday between University of Kentucky and University of
Cincinnati at Cincinnati.
Dr. F. L. McVey presided, opening
the exercises by reading the ninety-firpsalm which was followed by the
Lord's prayer. Doctor McVey then
introduced Doctor Bush, of the Presbyterian church, who in a few remarks
paid tribute to Price McLean, in
which he said his life was a house
with two rooms and our comrade had
only passed to the other room. He
impressed upon all the need of a larger faith in a larger and fuller life.
Professor Enoch Grehan, representing the Athletic Council and faculty
staff, made impressive remarks reminding the student body that McLean
died in service for the University and
in no better way can our recollection
of his worthiness be proved than to
carry on his burden where he left fraud to do as well as he did..
The football team was represented
by Dell Ramsey, who paid a touching
tribute to the character of his teammate, saying he was a thorough gentleman, hand ifighter, conscientious

In order to stimulate enthusiasm
and interest in athletic circles the following plans for the election of cheer
leaders have been devised. Each class
with the execption of the Juniors will
elect a member to the cheer leading
squad with a senior member as captain of the cheer leaders. The Junior class will elect two (members, one
of which will be eliminated the following year. By the election of two
leaders from the Junior class we are

for each succeeding year.
The cheer leaders are to be elected
