Athletic Cards
Featuring the home-coming festivi
ties of Furman University and the ded
ication of their new stadium, the Caro
lina Gamecocks will met the powerful
Hurricane eleven tomorrow afternoon
at 2::to P. M. in Greenville.
Carolina students will be admitted
to the game on their athletic cards,
and it is expected that special busses
will be chartered to transport theni to
the game.
The Gamecocks, hoping to avenge
their defeat by the Clemson Tigers,
have unuergone a streiuous wvcm ui
practice for the game. A special de
fense has been planned to stop Fur
man's two major threats, Bob King
and June Scott.
King is a senior end who was given
a place on the all-state team last year.
He is a tall rangy man and captains
the Hurricane eleven. His defensive
play and pass receiving have been
prominent features of every game the
Baptists have' played this year. King
also kicks the points after touchdowns.
June Scott is another of Coach Diz
zy Mcleod veterans. Scott is a half
back who is effective on line plunges
and open field running.
Scrimmages against Furman plays
have been held against the reserves
every day. Coach Don McCallister has
also had the squad working on pass
defense so that they may be prepared
to stop the enemy's aerial attack.
Injuries to the Gamecocks have
been slight. Frank Urban has a
wrenched knee, but it is probable that
he will be in the starting lineup against
the Purple Hurricane.
Paul Gaffney is still suffering from

Petitions Signed Today
Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
Is Sought To Construct Ad
dition To Library
Through the joint efforts of Blue
Key and O.l).K., honorary fraternities,
a student body petition will be carried
around to the classes today from 9
until 10 and 11 to 1 and each student
will be given a chance to sign it. The
purpose of the petition will be to aid
in the University's long-pending drive
for securing $300,000 from the Public
Works Administration for the con
struction of additions to the library.
Carolina has received only one
fourth as much PWA funds as Clem
son and only one-third~as much as
The Citadel. These three state insti
tutions have equal rank and Carolina's
quota should be raised accordingly.
Clemson has received $800,000, The
Citadel, $610,900 while Carolina tails
the list with only $225,454.
An explanation of the petition is
given below:
The University has requested a loan
and grant of $300,000 from the Public
Works Administration of the Federal
government.
If this is obtained, the University
hopes to spend the whole amount on
an extensive addition to our library
building.
This application was originally re
quested for the purpose of construct
ing additional homes for professors,
but it is proposed that it be spent on
enlarging our librarv space, because
this is the greatest physical need of
our University.
Why do we need to enlarge the
library building?
For these reasons:
(a) to give students more room to
read and work in, and to prevent the
present overcrowding:
