Spring Sports
, Suit Tastes
Of Majority
Carolina's spring sports pro.
gram should suit the tastes of al
most any rabid sports fan.
Our track team not only plays
an attractive home schedule, but
the University athletic field has
been selected as the site of the
forthcoming Atlantic Coast Con
ference and state championships.
In baseball, Coach Joe Grugan's
charges will participate in a 26
ame slate which will feature such
non-conference foes as Kentucky
and The Citadel as well as the
class of the A.C.C. including Duke,
North Carolina State and Wake
Forest.
Golf and Tennis will round out
the spring's intercollegiate compe
tition, but as yet the schedules for
the respective teams have not been
released.
David Frye, South Carolina's
'promising middle distance runner
from Culpeper, Va., has a practical
method of "warming up" for his
daily workouts. The sophomore
speedster doesn't own an automo
bile, so he runs from his dormitory
to the USC track, located about a
mile away at the athletic center.

Coach Joe Grugan believes that,
if several pitchers can be groomed
as satisfactory starters, the Uni

an improved baseball team this
spring.
Only one experienced 'man, Cur

Newcomers who have shown
signs of developing include soph
omores Roger Brown of Bennetts
ville, Bud Swygert of Granite
ville, Roger Groves of Mineral
Wells, Tex., and Everette Newman
of South Charleston, W. Va.
"I think our hitting should b
improved," comments Grugan, whc
is coaching the Gamecocks for thE

The
PRESSBOX
By CHARLIE BRADLEY
Sports Editor
The. ranks of the national Basketball Association know
something that broadcasters and sports publicists through
out the Atlantic Coast Conference don't.
Basketball expert and ex-pro great Chuck Taylor made a
statement to the press in which he stated that the Gamecocks'
Cookie Pericola was the best professional prospect in the
ACC.
Chuck Eckman, former coach of the Fort Wayne Pistons,
and an official in the recent ACC Tournament at Raleigh,
N. C., said that he was very impressed with the Union City,
N. J., senior and added that Cookie's chances for making
the grade were excellent.
"He was the best man on the floor tonight," said Eckman
as he left Press Row for the dressing room prior to calling
the Maryland, Virginia clash.
Yet in spite of the recognition afforded Cookie, he was
completely overlooked when it came time to select all con
ference and all Tournament teams.
Who's to blame for the over-shadowing of South Carolina's
sports personalities? The disgusting fact is that it is our
own Sandlapping Press. Petty arguments between sports
figures on the South State's scene virtually split what little
chances we have of gaining national recognition for our
athletes.
In a recent conversation I learned the sad fact that there
are only a handful of representatives from the Palmetto
State in the Atlantic Coast Sportswriters Assdciation. In
comparison, the number from the Tar Heel State is astronom
ical-just too many to count on the fingers and toes of a
large gathering of people.
To be a member of the above-mentioned association one
must first, be a sportswriter for a newspaper, a radio-tele
vision broadcaster, or a.sports publicist in any of the four
states represented in the Conference plus the District of
Columbia; and second,-pay a paltry fee of $5.00 which is
generally paid by the member's employer anyway.
So, the blame for the plight of USC personages in the
field of athletics lies within the press of our state. And until
these journalists, broadcasters, and public relations men get
on the band wagon, athletes and coaches from the Southern
sector of the ACC will be handicapped with obscurity with no
chance at all for deserved recognition, conference or national
wise.
