OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION VOL. 19 UNIVERSITY OP NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL IT ILL, N. C, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4, 1911 NO. 2. BASKETBALL SEASON NOW IN FULL SWING., CAROLINA PLAYS GAME FOR FIRST TIME White and Blue Wallops Virginia Christian College, Durham Y. M. C A. and Wake Forest in Fast Encounters. Games Well Attended Basket-ballhastarted at Carolina in whirlwind style.Three games have been played, and Carolina has copped them all. The f Anti-bonders were beaten last night. t Details of the games are given beiow: Va. Christian College Carolina's firstfbasket-ball team on Friday night started . her season by winning from Virginia Christian Col lege's team by the score of 42 to 21, The game was one of hard, steady playing on both sides from the time the referee first, put the ball in play until the final whistle toot. It was a game marked by no spectacular indi vidual playing, but by good team work on both sides. Every one of our men played for the team, and played the ball where he. thought there would be the best chance for a score to be made for Carolina. Before the game Captain Ritch told the boys that if one forward threw 10 iroals and the other only 2 then that would be 6 goals apiece and the same with regard to the other positions. "So," he said, "play for the team and forget yourself," and that's what they did. In the first half the game was a lit tle slow. The Carolina boys were going into their first game and were a little nervous and consequently they did not by any means play the ball that they were capaple.of playing. In this half there was never a difference of five points in the scores of the two teams. The half ended 13 to 11 in favor of Carolina. In the second half after having been cussed good and artistically by Coach Cartmel, Carolina came back strong and proceeded to make good by scoring 29 points in the twenty minutes of play while the Virginia Christian College team could only make connection for 8 points. In the first five minutes of play in this half Carolina succeeded in making five goals to her opponent's none. After this, however, the vis itors tightened np and began to fight, giving onr team a good hard scrap. Thiss half was decidedly faster and snappier than the first, and was, in ad dition, a better exhibition of basket ball -the real article. The visitors put up a good game and fought with more spirit than did our team. Their handling of the ball and passing were much better than ours. In fact, they had us beat to a frazzle in passing, but Carolina's weight and reach told in the final score. After the game the visitors spoke well of our bunch, saying that the Carolina quintet was a remarkably strong one to have had only three three weeks of practice together, and that it ought to develop into a good team before the end of the season.

In the basket-ball game Wednesday night Carolina won from the Durham Y. M. C. A. by the score of 60 to 18. The game was rather slow owing to Referee Eusteen's insisting upon call ing a foul for every three and a quar ter seconds of play. This took most of the pepper out of the game, since it was rather hard on the spirits of the boys for them to be forced to play ping pong when they had gone in with the desire and intention of play-ingbasket-ball. The visitors put up a good game, but were simply outclassed by Caro lina. Of the 18 points scored by them 10 were on fouls. Carolina did not put up her best game but then Referee Eusteen's interruptions dampened her ardor. The line up: Carolina." Durham. Smith ) Forwards J Murray (Capt.)

Umpire Cartmell. i Wake Forest College In a game of basket-ball into which each team started with blood in its eye, Carolina won from Wake Forest last night 31 to 28. The game was fierce from the .first whistle and throughout the second half it was anybody's game. . Carolina had the lead all the way, but seldom for more than three points. At the end of the second half the score stood: Carolina 16, Wake Forest 9. Although the game had been close Carolina's lead had been safe all the time and the ex citement had not reached the pitch to which it got when the Anti-bonders came back in the second half and brought their score up to within two points of Carolina. Carolina's defence had strengthened, but Wake Forest's offence had become more formidable. Time and again Carolina would race down the floor for a lead of four points, only to have the Baptists score a dif ficult goal and put their lead in danger again. It was fight all the time, and it was in the fighting that Carolina was superior. Wake Forest undoubt edly knew more basket-ball; they had better team work and went down the floor more easily, but they missed a lot of easy chances. Carolina's defence was ragged in the first half and Wake Forest's failure to score more points was due to their inability to shoot goals undet fire. Turner starred for Wake Forest and Dowd did well. It was the whole team for Carolina. When the time came every man was (Continued on fourth page) PROPOSED AMENDMENTS FOR G. A. ASSOCIATION Important Changes Proposed.

Famous Coach to Take Charge of Carolina's Football Team Great is the rejoicing in Chapel Hill, for Branch Bocock, thought by many to be the best football coach in the South, has been signed to coach the Carolina team next fall. Bocock's work at V. P. I. has attracted .wide spread attention, and it is felt by " the students here that he will put out a team worthy of the material he will have with which to work, Bocock is a graduate of Georgetown, where he also studied law. His first experience as a football coach was ac quired at the University of Georgia, where he whipped into shape one of the most successful teams ever put out by that institution. For the past three years he has been with V. P. I., and has written the name of the Virginia college high in the athletic annals of the South. Iu 1909 his team played Princeton to a standstill, the latter winning by the score of 8-3. Last fall his team held the mighty Navy ; to a score of 3-0 in what has been pro nounced practically a tie game. He is said to be especially able in the development of team work among his players, the lack of which quality was distressingly apparent in the Car olina team of last, season.. He has the reputation of a seasoned coach in every aspect of the sport. He is said to un derstand the pectiliar climatic condi tions of the South, which make inef fective in this section the same tactics which would produce results in a rigorous New England climate. Much more confidence is felt in a seasoned football coach apcustomed to the train ing of men, such as Bocock, than would have been felt in a young star of little experience from one of the big North ern teams. Mr. Bocock is twenty-five years of age and married. His arrival in Chapel Hill next fall will be awaited with eagerness.

The twenty-two members gathered in the "coop" and proceeded to demolish a six course feast served by ''Marse Jesse." Mr. A. J. Hodgin was toastmaster. Short speeches by Messrs. J. A. McGoogan and J. A. McLean were well received. The remainder of the evening was passed in spinning yarns and having a general good time. editors-in-chief shall receive 7 per cent. Each of the assistant business managers shall receive 74 per cent, i These amendments, after lying on the table for one week, will be voted on this afternoon.

Jones' resignation as editor-in-chief of The Tar Heel and at the same time passed a resolu tion thanking Mr. Jones for his excel lent work on he paper the past term.
