Branch, Bocock. probably the greatest
coach in tho South. who has been d.
rector OF athletics at tho v. P. l.,
for the past season. has signed UP
with that institution for the coming
year. This news has brought JOY to
all connected with the institution, for
that the brilliant success OF the foot

Ing the Orange and Maroon has been

OF Bocock is a we'll known fact
Genius is good word to describe
the work Of tho man who last fall
came up from Georgia and took charge
OF the Teck squad, and trimmed the
bunch into the winning Southern
team. 1t Is not saying too much to
state that v. 2. l., nor the State OF
Virginia for that matter, has never
before seen the match OF Bocock as
IAN athletic director. Ho knows the
fine points OF the games lie coaches to
the uttermost. He is full OF energy,
and he has that indefinable something
which causes every man on the squad

tempt to make good under Bocock.
This accounts for his Wonderful sue
cess.
The Tech sporting contingent has
bscn alarmed for some weeks as to.
the probability OF Bocock returning to-
the v. z. /. next year. 1t was known
that the University OF Georgia had
made Mr.. Bocock an extremely fine
offer, and that he was negotiating
with that school. They know his
ability down In Georgia, and they
kept raising Inducements. until 1t
looked as II the Virginia school must
lose the man who has brought
athletics there to the highest stand
ard ever attained. SO 1t was with
Joy and relief that the students and
professors at ". p. I. learned last
night OF the signing OF Coach Bocock
as director of athletics for the sea-
son OF 1910-1911. That this means
another banner year for the Tech
athletes is beyond doubt.
Even now preparations are being
made by the managers Of the various
departments OF athletics to get to-
gether the best schedules possible for
the various teams. and with Bocock
to bring those teams into form, with
his usual fine style. 1t looks as If
there is going to be something doing
in athletics ut Virginia Tech again
next year.
