Cold C
BY BLANDING CLARKSON
"I had some idea what America
was like when I came over, but
few Americans have any idea of
what it's really like "down under,"
says Australian Bob Crombie, now
attending the University of South
Carolina on a track scholarship.
Bob is the second Australian to
join the USC track squad. The
first, distance runner Alan Rose,
was instrumental in Crombie's re
ceiving a scholarship, since they
ran under the same trainer in Aus
tralia.
Mainly a quarter miler in Aus
tralia, Crombie has been used al
most exclusively in the half-mile
by Carolina track coach Weems
Baskin, and in the State Track
Meet held last week, he set a new
freshman record of 1:53.9 at this
distance.
"A couple of the things that
surprised me when I first arrived
were the big cars and the weather
here," revealed Bob. "Most of the
cars in Australia are the smaller,
more compact variety. In the winter
in Melbourne, it gets down to about
1:35 degrees and we think that's
cold, but the first (lay I got here
in February, the temperature was
14 degrees.

"I have had very little trouble
getting used to this country. Of i
course, I had an advantage since s
Alan was here to help me, but the c
friendliness of the people here is t
really wonderful. They go out of
their way to help you.
"One small diffIculty I have en
countered," continued Crombie, a
physical education major who plans
to return to Australia to coach, "is
the different terms that you use,
such as french fries for chips. I
also find I can understand North
erners a little better than Southern
ers because they speak faster, more
like I'm accustomed to.
"I have been greatly impressed
by the splendid track setup out at
the Rex Enright Athletic Center.
It's the best I've ever seen. At i
home there were two cinder tracks
in the whole city of Melbourne and
I usually trained on a football
field, as do most Australian run
ners."
"Most Americans seem to picture
Australia as a land with kangaroos
and koala bears all over the main
street of Melbourne," states Crom
bie. "Nothing could be further from
the truth, since the city is almost
the size of Los Angeles."

"So you can see why I had no
problem at all adjusting to my
surroundings h e r e , since they
really aren't that different. One
thing I do miss, though, is the
beaches we have in Australia. Here
there are no breakers and I can't

(Editor's note: To supplement the

reporter offered the notes from
ier interview with Bob Crombie.
Although italic print lacks the
haracter of a scrawled black ball

journalism majors an idea of the

seriously, however, since most of
it was indecipherable.)

was down to $100. Here he ac
quired a Jeep-type vehicle for $40.
He then commenced to load up the
truck with a couple drums of food,
gas, a compass, a map, and began a
1,500 mile journey to India. The
roads were so had he could average
no more than 20 mph through
ountries such as Afghanistan and
Arabia, sometimes going for an

Upon arriving in Bombay, India,
it first sold the truck for $30.
A'hen the urge to move on came
aver him, he selected Hong Kong,

ied him the 1,000 miles to Japan
there he staved in Tokyo, a .lapan
