Ceiling Crashes Down In Dr. Babcock's Office A large portion of the ceiling in the office of Dr.'llavilah Babcock fell late last Wednesday afternoon but fortunately no one was injured. No one was in the office at the time and the damage was discovered when Dean Irene Flliott heard the crash from her office in the basement of the extension building. Dr. Babcock's secretary had left the office only a short time previously. The extension building is one of the landmarks of the campus. Built in the early part of the nineteenth century it was for many years used as a home for the presidents of the University, and in the heyday of ante-bellum glory, Daniel Webster and many equally famous men found lodging for the night. orrow Classic Tops Homecoming State Title In Balance Gamecocks Enter Game With Perfect State And Conference Records; Primed The State championship in football hangs in the balance as Carolina and J urman battle on the State hair grounds tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 in the last state game for the Birds as they close their home season as a climax to annual I lomecoming day.

The Carolina team has been placing men in the limelight of football all this season. Earl Clary, Joe Johnson, Freeman Huskey, Tom Craig, and Grayson Wolf, were outstanding men in last Saturday's game. I'urman also has a brilliant array of men to put up for all-state. The game will probably determine which team will place the greater number of men on this honored list. The Hurricane's loss to Bucknell was not colored with any new or deceptive plays. This is what might have been expected with \\ hitney Rawl scouting the game for the Birds. On the other hand, Laval showed none of the new shifts and plays that may be expected to come to light in Saturday's game. As Coach McLeod sends his llurri(Continued on Pbqo 6; Column 6) IT. S. C.
