has scored most of the touchdown ms

Coach Bocock pithily described the
outlook g compared with that OF last
fall as more speed and less beef"
Socock is graduate OF Georgetown
where he also studied law. AS foot
ball coach he acquired his first ex-
PciicuSc AT tne university OF
where he is still remembered as the
developer of one of the most success
full teams ever sent out by this insti-
tuition. For the past three years he
has been at Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute. The teams he has turned OUT
have been consistently among those
most strenuous after the Southern
championship. In 1909 his team play
ed Princeton to n standstill. yielding
to Old Nassau only by the close score
of Sd. Year before last his team
held the Navy to 40. in what was
practically a tie game. When the
news went around the campus last
spring that he had been signed to
direct the Tarheels. the students were

Southern Coach.
Bocock's most distinctive mark as a
coach is that he is in every sense of
the word a Southern coach. His en-
tire athletic career has been in the
South ands he is said to understand
football as played by colleges In this
section better than any other man. His
doctrine Is that owing to the peculiar
climatic conditions in the South, 1t is
useless to Initiate the methods Of the
Northern colleges. and the same severe
tactics which would produce results in
a rigorous New England climate would
be ineffective in this section. Again
his watchword In training his men is
teamwork" the lack of which quail
ity was distressingly apparent In the
White and Blue team last season.
There will probably be a radical
chznge in the policy of carolinas
playing. Coach Arthur Brides last year

play, as under the old rules as much
as possible. The primary cause OF
Cardinals disastrous season was the
uncertainty as to the new rules-how

was freely said that the attempt to
eliminate weight. as the dominant fac

that the heavy teams were still going
to win. Yale took this position, and
Carolina followed Yale Wholesals
havoc resulted for both colleges. with
the difference that Yale realized some-
thing was wrong and came back" in
time to win over Princeton. thing
