Snake Catching Virginian Here as Student;
Tells of Experiences with Deadly MOccasins
By Joe Jones

! met a real snake expert day
before yesterday. He is Horace
d. Mann, Jr., of Portsmouth,
ya, a University sophomore and
a member of the varsity football
squad. He plans to make snakes
his life work.
He has been bitten many
times by snakes and once was
almost killed by cottonmouth
moccasin. Yet he said he felt
like shooting anybody he saw
waHtteiasllsf waHteislyf killing snake just
because it was a snake. Most
snakes are harmless" he said,
"and they do lots of good. A pair
of blacksnakes will keep a barn
free Of mice and rats. They are
much better than cats because
wherever a mouse can 60 they
can follow"
Mann said the only person he
ever saw killed by a snake was
a 14-year-old Negro boy who
was bitten by a non-poisonous
milk snake and literally scared
to death. 1T was when / was in
high school in New London,
Connecticut" he said. Il was
down along the railroad tracks
catching snakes. This boy was
watching me. A milk snake bit
him and he ran a block and
dropped dead, scared to death"
Mann said that people who
die from snake bites are often
those who are so frightened and
panicky that their accelerated
heartbeats quickly pump the
venom to vital parts of the body.
He said the best thing to do If
bitten was to lie as still as DOS

Play May Begin
On New Course
Early in May

Nine holes Of the University's
new golf course out on the Mason
farm, three miles south Of the
village, may be open for play
within a little over two months.
Assistant Athletic Director
C. P. Erickson who has been
directing the project for the Uni
versity Athletic Association,
said yesterday: when wen
start play depends on the
weather, but l think early in
May is a fair guess"
Since this has been an extra
ordinarily mild winter, many
people may be surprised to be
told that work on the new
course has been seriously de-
layed because of weather condi-
tions. The weather has been
warm but it has also been wet.
Much of the ground Oh the
Mason farm is low-lying and on
many days has been too soggy
to bear the weight of men and
equipment. This has been spe-
cially noticeable where stumps
have been grubbed up and at
other places where holes or de-
pressions have had to be filed
in. ~
I'VE seeded the fairways and
greens some time ago and we
are going to sesd them again
soon," said Mr.. Erickson yes
terday. & If t we have dry weather
and a good number of windy
days in March that win help TO
dry the course off, and in that
case we might begin play before
the end Of April"
A. e. Finley, machinery and
eGuiptnest merchant Of Raleigh,
has been the University's good
angel in the building of the golf
course. He has given all the
equipment needed for grading
and other operations; he has
given money; and he has given
his personal interest and atten-
ton. On many a day in the. last
year Mr.. Finley and Mr.. Erick-
son have gone over the course
together, inspecting the work
done and planning the work
ahead.

This winters mild weather is
getting to be an old story now,
but people are still interested in
it; and, most of them, delighted
by it. Those citizens who would
like to do skiing, skating, sleigh

reflect that these pastimes are
not provided by winter weather
in Chapel Hill. con, a little sled

When we have winter here, we
have the disagreeable qualities
of winter without the advan-

lovers associate with this time
of year.
How much more agreeable the
