University of South Carolina Libraries
SCHUMPER Eleven years ago, Thomas H. (Tom) Price, a senior i journalism at Carolina, had no idea that he would hold th position of USC Sports Publicist, of which he is to ente April 15. Graduating from St. John's High School, John's Islan< he decided to try the life of a sailor. Devoting four year to the Navy, he enrolled at the University of South Carc lina in 1948. He stated that the semblance of the University toda compared to its state of development during his colleg career is very slight. Baseball and track were held on Davi Field, the Russell House had not even entered the architect' mind, and slum houses dominated the present location o the undergraduate library and fraternity row. Then, as Editor of the "Gamecock" . . . As a student, Tom operated the USC News Service; wa a member of Blue Key National Honor Fraternity; pres dent of )elta Sigma Chi, independent journalism fraternity and worked his way from reporter, sports editor, and mar aging editor to editor-in-chief of "The Gamecock." "The Gamecock office was situated in a temporar wooden building in the vicinity of today's administratio building and McKissick Library. Besides the 'shaky' cor dition, our facilities were of little comparison to the one now available. We had a few typewriters, but the onl one that was any good was my personal little Royal tha I used. That was the only typewriter that I had and som< one very amicably lifted it from the Gamecock office! he replied. Tom, manager of the UPI bureau in Columbia and pres dent of the South Carolina Association of Sports Writer, ...and now, a Maunager of UPs Columbia Office joined the United Press 11 years ago on the day' of hi graduation from Carolina. Also a member of the'Atlanti Coast Conference Sports Writers Assn., he wvill soon ad the title of Sports Publicist to his journalistic car eer. Tlom, feeling that any journalism work involves heat aches, stated that he is looking forward to his future p)os tion at Carolina. This job, while it doesn't allow very muc creative writing, dloes enable one to have more direct cor tact with the players and the coaches. Succeeding Claud (Red) Canup, he will be responsible for the publication < brochures and pamphlets of the Gamecocks to neighborin schools, the Carolina "Redbook," and also making informs tion available to radio and television stations. The D)epartment of Public Relations, of which the spori news service is a function, is located in the Rex Enrig Athletic Center. Another reason for Tom's cursory accep anice of head of the sports publicity was the nature of th job itself. An ardent supporter of Gamecock athletic activ ties, he will now be delving in and around them dlaily. From editor of the "Gamecock" to head of the spor1 news service at USC is qjuite a jump, but jiudging from hi past accomplishments, Tom Price can be coutedtt( on to mali the move with ease.

Sports Editor Carolina's track team took the first race of the day, but hampered e by injuries, couldn't maintain the r pace and fell before the superior depth and performances of a strong I, Florida State squad, 81-50. S The Gamecocks grabbed off five first places, but couldn't match the visitors in either wins or places. 7 The USC hopes were killed in a e stretch of five events in which they S could score only four points. f Cribb Leads Ed Cribb, a sophomore from Charleston, led the Carolina scoring with 10 points, winning both the mile and two-mile in his inaugural appearance for the Birds outdoors. His time in the mile, 4:20.3 was one of the top performances of the meet. Ailing Charlie Bradshaw, a doubtful starter because of a pulled muscle, came through with a win in the high hurdles in 15.2. This was one of the two Gamecock sweeps, sophomores Neil Atkinson and Carl Hendricks finishing behind Brad shaw. The other sweep came in the two mile, where Cribb stood off a late Paul Masem spurt to complete his double distance win and Pat Daughty finished in third place. Caughman Jumps S First-year man Tom Caughman soared to 6-2 in the high jump to upset the favored visitors for five more points for the Roosters. The last Gamecock win came in the Mile relay, the terminating event of the meet. In this event, with Bradshaw un able to run and Erick Wowra not up to his usual performance, Coach Weems Baskin was forced to insert " John Pfalzgraf, normally a miler. A fine run by number-two man Jimmy Barrow put the Birds in the lead, however, and Dan Upton car ried the baton to victory. Carolina failed to place a man in top three in the shot-put, won by Clark of FSU at 49-10. Clark also coppled the discus at 151-9, with USC's Billy Nies finishing third. FSU Strong Tiller of State turned a blazing 48.5 in the 440 to run off from the field, in which Dan Upton was third. In the 100 and 220, Johnson of FSU ran first, with Stanford of a the Gamecocks capturing second in Sthe former and Dean Fowble third Kraft of Florida State did 23-4% on his first effort to win the broad jump, b)ut Uptoni and Billy Gain brell took the remaining points. Howard Sohm was second in the javelin throw. In probably the weakest Game cock event, novice Ronnie Collins showed promise in finishing third ein the pole vault, the winning jheight being 13-10 by Hays. At kinson also took third in the low hurdles, won by Olsen of FSU.

Late rallies twice defeated the Gamecocks as Clyde Miller, the Eagles' star re liever, received credit for both wins, running his winning streak to a school record thirteen. In the first game some tight pitching by George Epps of Caro lina and Miller -of Southern limited the batters to two hits per team. The Birds got doubles from Larry Rucker and Jim Landford, but could not crack the scoring column. Georgia Southern too was held scoreless until the last of the sixth inning, when a hit and an erroi combined to push over the run thai pinned the heartbreaking loss or Epps.
