NEW COACH IS AT WORK
Many of Last Year's Varsity Re
turn-Few Injuries Reported
Thus Far
Branch Bocock, Carolina football men
tor, has for the first week of school
been putting two score candidates for
the team through rugged drill in prepa
ration for heavy scrimmage tomorrow
afternoon on Davis Field. Stiff work
outs were held Monday and Wednesday
and hard work with the dummy was in
order on other days.
Of those expected to return this fall
irom last year's varsity, all are present
and in mole skins, save Aleck Murdaugh
who it is said is living in Florida. No
dangerous injuries are worrying the
coaches thus far, although a large por
tion of the aspirants bear marks of con
flict.
Coach Bocock is spending much of his
time on the field in instructing his pro
teges in fundamental principles of the
game. His wide experience as refere
has acquainted him with the many prob
lems of football.
The large dummy in the corner of the
field has been catching "old harry" from
all men of the team. Every day's prac
tice has brought forth fierce tackling of
the heavy leather man.
From the varsity of last year, one all
state man was graduated, only to return
as an assistant coach. Frankie Meyer in
acting in that capacity. Tom Brice, hard
driving fullback, will not be back nor
will Blake Edmunds, hero of the last
Clemson game.
Work will be started next week in
preparing for Coach Bocock's first con
test as Carolina coach. The opponents
will be the Erskine Seceders led from
Due West by Bob Galloway, their head
1eoach. Following this game there will
be an important contest the next week
with North Carolina in which the Tar
heels will probably seek for revenge for
the defeat the Gamecocks administered
to them last year in their back yard by
the margin of a field goal.
Coach Bocock has the experienced as
sista)1ce this year of "Rooster" Mc
Fadden in coaching the team. McFad
donaided Metzger for two years in build
ing his teams and should prove a great
help to Bocock. Among the forty can
didates for the team are the following
of the backfield:
P. J. Boatwright, Jack xright, Son
Fennel, Bill Jeffords, Red Swink, Jack
Wannamaker, Shelton, Bob Wimberley,
Bill Rogers, Jimmy Russamano, Fuzy

as the men become more proficient they
will be advanced."
Below is the list of the classes:

FOOTBALL GAMES AND WOMEN
some say, are like the weather
variable. We know nothing of wom
en, but as for football games, we
enjoy them if they vary the way
we bet our last dollar.
THE WARM WEATHER, or rather
the hot weather, has been against
football training decidedly, but the
Birds have been standing the high
temperature fine, giving their best
at every workout.
ERSKINE PAYS US their annual visit
on the afternoon of September 26th.
The Seceders are keeping quiet in
regard to the opening fracas at the
University Field. Wonder what the
results will be?
OCTOBER HOLDS for Carolina a
strenuous schedule. During the
month Carolina will face six oppo
nents, including two North Carolina
teams and four teams of this State.
Among these teams will be found
strong contenders for championship
flags.
THE GAMECOCKS are being groomed
for this heavy schedule, and baring
the presence of old man Hardliyk,
they should be in the best of condi
tion to withstand the punch of every
foe.
FELLOWS, THE GARNET and Black
has excellent prospects for a wonder
ful season on the field of battle in
the Palmetto State this year, and
every son of Carolina is expected to
give their ultimate support.
MONEY MAKES THE MARE go,
and your hearty support makes the
football team win.
AS YET THE CANDIDATES FOR
berths on both the Varsity and the
Frosh teams have been unable to find
a balance in weight. When the war
riors return from practice, each have
loot several pogrds, but ,after a
wholesome meal a considerable por
tion of the lost avoirdupois is re
gained.
WELCOME,. YE NOBLE youths to
the realm of Gamecockdoml
1AY YOUR SOJOURN in our midst
be pleasant and successful, and you
a booster of every undertaking Car
olina fosters.
WONDER IF YOU HAVE been out to
University Field yet to see Carolina's
football hopes for the forthcoming
season ?
COACH BOCOCK and his able assist
ants have some fine material for the~
9125 varsity and freshman teams.
IT IS FAR TOO EARLY to make any
predictions for the success of Caro
lina's football teams, but we venture
to say that when the curtain is rung
(town on the 1925 season, the Birds
will be flying high in the state race.
IF THE "INKPOTER" is any judge
of football players, Carolina is sit
ting pretty for the ensuing season.
Coach Bocock has a wealth of mate
rial from last year's Frosh team to
select from in addition to veterans
of the 1924 varsity.
AND TIHE CANDIDATES FOR THE
Frosh machine have all the neces
sary earmarks of real pigskin war
riors. The Freshmen coaches feel
fine over the prospects for the year.
TIHE FOOTBALL SYS: "I am only
a piece of pigskin filled with wind,
bt:t a mighty test of the brawn and
brain of men." And a glimpse of
Coach Bococke~s men gives reason to
believe that they will master the
football's test.

Gamecock Captain
J. C. Long, for three years a Carolina
tackle, will this year lead the Gamecocks
is their captain. J. C. hails from the
City by the Sea where he had made a
reputation for himself with the Ban
tams before entering college. Captain
Long is one of the most aggressive
players that the Garnet and Black has
had and Carolina supporters confidently
believe he will prove a capable leader.

Football for the co-eds? Well hardly
that, but such sports ag hockey, soccer,

plenty of variety," said she smiling.
Miss Smith is an attractive blonde and
has had much experience in this line of
work. She finished at Randolph-Macon

ecourse will deal with coaching bas
etball, tracka etc., so that those finish
ing it will be qualified to coach in high
schools. This will be a lectv.re course.
"The other course will be or grammar :
;chools, and will include folk dancing,
