By Virtue Of Victory Over
Fur man Hurricane, Carolina
Annexes State Crown
First Time Since 1912
Clemson And Citadel Fall
Prey To Fighting Birds In
1931 Titular March
By John A. 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.

Broughton To Go On Trial For
Murder; Trial Staged For
Next Thursday
Pleading self-defense, defense attorneys
for William C. 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.

Showing that while South Carolina
spends $90,000,000 a year for the
operation of automobiles and large
amounts for highways, yet some are
charging the schools which cost $15,000,000
a year with waste and are trying
to cut expenses^there, Samuel M.
Derrick, professor of economics, addressed
the Lions Club Monday at its j
weekly luncheon at the Hotel Columbia.
"The economic hope of South Carolina
lies in educated and enlightened
citizenship,'f he said. "The public
school system is on the defense and
there are many persons, some in the ,
realm of high finance, who would like
to sec the schools closed."
He cited the rise in costs of educating
the white children of the State '
and gave a parallel comparison of the 1
increased efficiency. "If the State
wants its citizens to have a high
school education, it must pay for it." .

Terminix Company Makers
Of Survey; Infestation Reported
"Widespread
By W. C. 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.
