It contains a ready-reference guide to players, coaches, schedule, statistical data and past records along with other aspects of the football program at the institution. We hope that it will meet the requirements for which it is intended. ‘ We, at State, extend to members of the press and radio a hearty welcome to visit our campus and see our football team in action. The offices of the Athletic Publicity Department are located in Room 124 of the William Neal Reynolds Coliseum on the college campus and we welcome your visit at any time. Our press box is located over the West Stands in Riddick Stadium, providing three tiers of space for radio and newspaper coverage. We shall be happy to make arrangements for wire service, pre—game line- ups, names, numbers and any other information that you may require in connection with game coverage. It is our intention to do our utmost to make your visit with us the finest possible. If you desire any information not contained in this brochure, please do not hesitate to write, wire or call us. We can supply glossy print 8 x 10 photographs on the majority of members of the 1951 squad. A mat service is also available to those papers who desire this type of picture reproduction. If you have any suggestions as to how we may improve our service to news- papers and radio stations we will be glad to give our fullest cooperation. Since the space in our press box is rather limited we would appreciate it very much if members of the working press and radio would request space well in advance of scheduled contests, not later than Wednesday preceding the week of the game. In certain instances it may be necessary, because of limited space, to refuse working accommodations in the press box, but we will be happy to make space available in the stands when such press space is not available. Inquiries concerning complimentary tickets for press and radio repre- sentatives will be given every consideration, but we must impress upon these representatives that our supply is limited and first requests will be given first priority. When our supply is exhausted it is not possible, for us to secure additional tickets. We must ask that only designated press and radio representatives request complimentary tickets and other such re- quests will not be honored.
