this week.
Assistant football coach Ralph
Floyd was tapped to fill tempo
rarily the vacancy left by Bass and
Dean James A. Morris of the Col

Much interest was aroused on cain

Duke coach Bill Murray met with USC
Pres. Thomas F. Jones. U s u a I y
reliable sources indicated that Mur
ray was offered one or both of the
available positions, but that he
turned dowi the offer. But other
sources indicate that negotiations
with Murray an- not yet complete.
Upon President Jones' request
The Gamecock stopped its presses
to await an announcement sup

was forthcoming at press time.
Bass, who had been USC grid
coach since 1961 and athletic di
rector since 1962, announced Mon
day that he would become the gen

the new Montreal football team in
the Continental Professional

Sol Blatt, Jr., chairman of the
athletic committee of the Univer

explained to Blatt that he intended

The athletic committee met with
President Jones Wednesday after
noon, but both the President and
several members of the committee
- later contacted by The Game

The unexpected departure of Bass
threw the [SA's spring football prac
tice and overall a t h I e t i c situation
into a frenzy. Dr. Jones called the
rearch for a coach the "nost press
ing immediate problen" currently
facing the Iniversity.
Bass, along with a group of Co

associate athletic director Frank
McGuire be named the new athletic
director. However, McGuire told
The Gamicock Wednesday that he
had not been consulted in the
matter.

Sen. David Bright, asking that the
