to Quit
As Indian Coach
Star Once
CaVOrted
FOrG.U.

According to advice cleaned
from authentic sources, Branch
Bocock, head football coach at
William and Mary College and
former Georgetown University
grid star, will tender his resigna-
ton to the athletic board within
the next few days. Those close to
the situation assert that Bocock'S
action is voluntary, and has been
under consideration for some time.
Although the matter is not Off
cially discussed at William and
Mary, it is pretty we'll established
that Bocock was disappointed at
the showing the Indians made this
past season. His team won only
four games of the nine scheduled.
SECOND YEAR AT HELM
William and Mary defeated Vir-
ginia Tech, Guilford, American U.
and Hampden-Sydney. The IN
dians bowed to Navy, V. M. l.,
Virginia, Washington and Lee and
Richmond.
This was Bocock's second season
at the helm of the Indian grid
machine, and the second time he
occupied the job as coach at Will
liam and Mary, having held down
the position for about two years,
in the early twenties. He succeeded
Tommy Dowler, former great Col
gate back as head coach.
Back in the mauve decade OF
1902 and 1908, Bocock coached
his alma mater, Georgetown Uni
versity, retiring at the end Of two
seasons to devote his time to
farming.
COACHED AT v. p. /.
In 1910 he returned to the
coaching ranks and handled the
deStiries of the grid machines at
V. P. l., at Blacksburg, coaching
there for 10 years before trans
ferring to William and Mary.
Upon his second retirement to
farming, he kept in touch with
the football world as a recognized
referee, where he worked outstand-
ing games throughout the South.
He was al executive in the
Rockefeller Restoration construc-
ton at Williamsburg, Va, seat Of
william and Mary College during
his career as grid official and

Winding up routine unfinished business at a special meeting, the old City Council last night gave away to the new and Mayor Thomas B. Judson and Councilmen Henry NIesserschmidt, Samuel Feldon and G. F. Krause were sworn into of flee taking over affairs of the city with the incumbents, Oscar Harri, Ralph Beistline and Frank McCaf- ferty.
 First outstanding action of the new Council was to vote unani- mously to allow the Standard Oil Company to proceed with construc- tcn of it's new plant on Willoughby 'v-nue under the present fire or dinance. A new fire ordinance has been under consideration by the council. and has been passed in first reading, which has several provisions objected to by the var ious oil companies and others. Ac- tion on this ordinance was deferred to the first regular meeting of the pow Council Friday night.
 Frank Metcalf appearing as con- sulting engineer for the oil com pany, presented specifications on the new Standard plant, pointing out that the company, due to the various nature of it's business. always guarded against fire hazards of all kinds.
 New Mayor Judson said it was his opinion that Standard would not build plant which was hazardous to the city and urged that action
 taken last night as it will sim ply mean the Standard Oil will move to Douglas if we don't do something about it
 Other Councilmen voiced a s'mi- lar opinion and vote on the motion by Councilman Mssserschmidt to allow the company to proceed un- der the present ordinance showed approval without a dissenting vote.
