Cartier Field
Cartier Field was a stadium in Notre Dame, Indiana, first dedicated on May 11, 1900 as an arena for football, baseball, track and field, and bicycling. It hosted the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team from 1900 to 1928, and held nearly 30,000 people at its peak. The stands were torn down after the 1928 season to make room for Notre Dame Stadium, which opened in 1930. Notre Dame played its entire 1929 schedule away from campus ("home" games were at Chicago's Soldier Field), went undefeated (9–0) and won the National Championship. At Coach Knute Rockne's insistence, Cartier Field's grass was transplanted into Notre Dame Stadium. For more than 30 years after the football team moved out, Cartier Field remained the home of Notre Dame's baseball and track and field teams. In 1962, the original Cartier Field was replaced by a quadrangle adjoining the Memorial Library, which opened in 1963, and a new facility named Cartier Field was opened east of Notre Dame Sta ...

''The Cartier Project'' is a novel by Miha Mazzini. It was first published in Slovenia (then still part of Yugoslavia) in 1987 under the title of ''Drobtinice'' ("Crumbs"). It sold 54000 copies and won "the best Slovenian novel of the year" award and "Zlata ptica" award for excellent artistic achievement by a young writer, 1988. Story The first person narrative follows Egon, a well-read, degenerate chancer living in a non-descript, poverty-ridden foundry town in what was then Yugoslavia (now presumably Slovenia given an allusion to the towns proximity to the Italian border). Most of the town’s residents work at the foundry, with some occupying the guarded dormitories there. Egon shuns this, instead spending his days bothering his friends and a string of lovers for food, beer, sex, and shelter, something he finds remarkably easy on account of his good looks and charm. He funds what he feels absolutely necessary through writing trashy romances under a pseudonym – whether he has h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
