Bigham Its claim to the title undisputed by any school, the University of South Carolina stands at the head of the football lists of the State for the first time since 1912. Coach Billy Laval's Gamecocks after pushing Clemson '.and the Citadel out of the picture earlier in the season, administered a crushing defeat to the Furman Hurricane at the fair grounds last Saturday. In their march to the 3tate title, the Gamecocks first encountered the Clemson Tigers in the feature of state fair week. Overcoming a stubborn opposition in the first half, Carolina swept through the agriculturists to completely route them by a score of 21-0. One week later, the Citadel cadets were met in Orangeburg and defeated by a count of 20-7. With these two teams out of the way, the road to the state championship appeared clear except for Furman. Supposedly, the two teams were evenly matched. Great ballyhoo and propaganda were aroused at the Baptist institution over the game, and the password there became "Beat Carolinal" % But it was in vain. Completely outclassed in every department of the game, the Hurricane became a gentle zephyr and the mighty Gamecocks swept over and under the Baptists to conquer them 27-0. Laval's sophomores came through as expected, and v the Gamecock mentor fulfilled his promise of four years ago, "Give me the material, and I'll give you a state championship." With the title safely stored awfty, students of the University staged a shirt-tail parade up Main street Saturday night and literally painted the town red. For the first time in many years Columbians had a chance to see theaters raided as of old, but at the crucial moment, Cheerleader Bushaw stepped into the gap and halted any rash action on the part of the students. However, the score was painted in red paint upon the streets, and in front of the University chapel the words "S. C. Champs" were engraved. Gamecock supporters look to more championships in the future. With the Tiger in the dust, the Bulldog drowned in the salty brine of the Atlantic ocean, and Furman Hurricane submerged in the muddy depths of Reedy river, the rooster sits on the State House dome and crows, and 1 crows, and no one forbids him. Girls Glee Club Offers Program Packed Audience Sees Glee Club Make Initial Appearance In ' "Get The Hook" 1 I The Co-ed Glee Club of the Univer- < sity under the direction of Mrs. Dulie < Hanson gave its first performance of the year, "Get the Hook," last Wednesday night in the chapel.

Broughton University senior will appear before Lord Chief Justice Benjamin T. Hodges Thursday during the criminal session of the high court of Calhoun Inn in the case of the State of South Carolina versus Broughton. Broughton has been held in jail without hail for several weeks as a re1 suit of a shooting scrape between him and Milledge L. Bonham, III, University freshman, in front of the Law Library, in which Bonham was shot in the side dying almost instantly. The shooting came as a result of a conflict between the defendant and the wounded freshman over the latter's failure to wear a freshman cap and willingness to be detailed by the upperclassman. Threatening words, passed between them before the shooting took place Monday at noon during fair week. Eye-witnesses have alleged ^that Broughton slapped Bonham down when the first-year man pushed him to one side. Bonham is said to have then pulled out his pistol while falling and shot just as Broughton did the same thing. While Bonham's bullet went wild, Broughton's shot proved fatal. There is a disagreement on the part of witnesses as to which shot first, the firing being almost simultaneous.

Herbert Approximately $5,000 will be required to treat thoroughly University buildings infected with termites according to an investigation made by the Terminix Company of South Carolina. Estimates of the work are based on six cents per square foot foundation measurements. The company has calculated that around 3,000 gallons of Terminix would be required to treat the entire property. "The Terminix treatment is guaranteed for five years," stated the concern in a communication to Acting President L. T. Baker, "by E. L. Bruce Company of Memphis, Tennessee, a twenty million dollar corporation and the world's largest hardwood flooring and wood chemical manufacturers. Periodical inspection is made of the property treated during the life of the contract. "This treatment is 100 per cent effective when properly applied andshould last the life of the building if no construction changes art made. The chemical is forced into the infested wood and on joists, sills, and sub-flooring, foundation and ground at 150-pound pressure, forming a crystallized toxic which is poisonous to termites and will not allow rot fungi to live. Terminix is harmless and will not explode." Vanderbilt University, according to the Terminix authorities, insured its property against termites by using this treatment. Among the buildings inspected by the Terminix Company, are the following in the concerns report: "Professor Snowden's home, 803 Sumter street: Inspection showed two bad joists and termites all over the house. The building measures 37x50. Price $110.00. "Professor Morse's home, 811 Sumter street: Infection in sills and joists on left side of house bad. Ten feet of new sills needed, rest can be saved if treated now. Cost $105.00. "Melton Hall Building, 831 Sumter street: Two girders in rear of house gone. Bad infestation of termites. Price $151.20. "Home of Dr. Smith and Dr. Currell, 810-812 Sumter street: Termites are working in the basement. "Double apartment, 800-802 Sumter street: front and rear sills to be replaced. Six 2x8 joists in rear gone. Termites all over building. Some of the flooring in living room eaten up. Dirt to be removed from joists. Price $174.1)0.
