SPORTORAMA By DON BARTON GAMECOCK HALL OF FAME The University of South Carolina has produced many truly great athletes, covering all fields of sports. These ath letes would probably compare favorably with those of any school in the United States, but they do not, in most cases, receive the recognition that players of larger schools receive. Usually, players who stand out on Carolina teams make all-state with ease, and are often placed on all-Southern Conference teams. In two cases Gamecocks have been placed on Associated Press All-America second teams. These honors are recorded and filed somewhere, seldom to be seen or thought of again. In order that deserving athletes will receive a lasting place in -the Carolina sporting world, Sportorama would like to advocate the establishment of a HALL OF FAME for ath letes of USC. A suggested plan, similar to that used by several colleges, would be to set up a board to select persons to be placed in the hall. Only one athlete could be chosen for any one year, except upon unanimous approval of the board to select more a than one. This selection board could, when it sees fit, name b: athletes of former years to be placed along with those that - are chosen in future years. The board of selection might be composed of the athletic director of the school, head coach of the football team, sec retary of the alumni association, president of the student body, president of ODK honorary fraternity, director of ath letic publicity at the University and the sports editor of h, THE GAMECOCK for the semester in which the choice is ti made. Persons in other significant positions could be added to this board. N WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN SEE This preposed hall of fame would be recognized at a con spicuous place on the campus. Maybe in future years space ti will allow establishment of a trophy room, a section of which a could be set aside for the hall of fame. f< Along with a plaque with the names of its members, a picture of each member and a short history of his athletic achievements at the University would be displayed. Such f< a place would be well-kept and not allowed to be consumed PI by dust and cob webs. fi tr Probably the most eligible organization on the campus to handle such a project would be the Block C club. That f< club can appreciate what it takes to become a truly out- 1f standing athlete and would probably be more conscientious p in seeing that the hall of fame is maintained as it should be than any other organization at the school. We are willing to do anything we can to see that such a project becomes a reality at Carolina. It is well worth think ing over-it is worth doing something about. MAYBE THIS WILL HELP s1 A booking office for Southern Conference basketball of- f ficials has been approved by the conference cage committee G of which Eddie Cameron of Duke is chairman. st The purpose of the booking office is to improve the stand-1 ard of officiating in the conference and at the same time h to keep a supply of officials on hand at all times. Di After digesting some of the officiating that was displayed ti on the floor of the Carolina field house last season, we hopeI that this new arrangement will help add to the games by enabling us to obtain first-class referees.
