CAROLINA'S SQUAD
NUMBERS FIFTY
With Coach Bocock Formerly of Georgetown, Directing
Tarheel Football Team, Outlook for Successful
Season Is Promising

Ity was distressingly apparent in the
White and Blue team last season.
There will probably be a radical
change in the policy Of Carolina,s play
strove to maintain the old style OF
play, as under the old rules as much
as possible. The primary cause of
Cardinals disastrous season was the
the innovations introduced would at
feet the actual game Of football.
It was freely said that the attempt to
eliminate weight, as the dominant fac
tor in favor of speed, would fail, and
that the heavy teams were still going
to win. Yale took this position. and
Carolina followed Yale.
More Open Play.
Wholesale havoc resulted for both
colleges, with the difference that Yale
realized something was wrong. and
Princeton. thing which Carolina tried
20 do-and came near doing-with Vir-
ginia.
One thing was definitely determined
last season-that the new rules have
succeeded in their object of creating a
more open play, and the advantage is
now with the light, fast elevens. This
was demonstrated when Simons' little
red electric machine" from Davidson
ran away with the giants from Chapel
Hill. Under the old rules Carolina 8
last season might have been record
breaking, since, as has been said,
never before had such a bunch of vet
Grams leaped over the fence Of South
ern gridiron.'
This fall a large amount Of new
blood will be injected into the squad,
and a lighter and faster team will be
the result to be cheered into battle
by that feet Southern star, Captain
Bob Winston.
The schedule is exceedingly light as
compared with those of former years.
The most important omission Is the
game with Georgetown. which has been
for the past several seasons one Of the
university's hard contests. The two
institutions have each met with varied
fortunes, Georgetown winning last
year when the Catholic College also won
the Southern championship. This year s
schedule was arranged on the theory
that for some years Carolina teams
have had to undergo so many hard
games as well as fatiguing, time-losing
trips, that a comparatively stale team
has gone against Virginia on Thanks
giving.
Three Victories In Succession.
The rival university has now so many
consecutive victories to its credit-no
less than three-that It has become
monotonous to supporters Of the white
and Blue There are only four hard
games on the schedule, counting David
son, V. =. l., Washington and Lee, and
Virginia Davidson is included because
its light little machine last fall defeat
ed the university Cor the first time In
the history of football. No loyal parti-
san of the university, however, thinks
seriously of such an event ever occur
ring again. At any rate. the Davidson
game in Charlotte Is probably fixed
as an annual affair, which will be en-
joyed by both sides with greater Zest
than formerly.
While the team does not object to a
victory over the ship Franklin, this
battle is not of so much Importance,
except for comparative scores. not be-
ing a college game. The whole sched-
ule is in the way of a preparation for
Virginia, on Thanksgiving. when the
Chapel Hill lads hope to cheer their
representatives on to victory with
snappy Yackety Yacks.
