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.

State Depth
Proves Fatal
To Trackmen
BY BLANDING CLARKSON, JR.
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

Kraft of Florida State did 23-4%
on his first effort to win the broad

Howard Sohm was second in the
javelin throw.
In probably the weakest Game
cock event, novice Ronnie Collins

Close Ones
Carolina's baseball nine lost two
close decisions to Georgia Southern
last week, 1-0 and 5-2. 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.
In the second game, Georgia
again waited until the final innings
to score the decisive runs. Three
runs in the fifth frame put the
homestanding Eagles in the lead to
