P. Wilder, 100 Wood- row Drive. , Last year the March of Dimes drive in Laurens county netted on ly $2,959.73, which was far below the total of $9,995.35 which the Laurens county chapter spent on cases in this county. Two cases alone received over $4,500 from the Laurens county chapter. The Na tional Foundation made up the $7,- 000 difference in the amount taken in and the amount spent.

Erskine, Woffqrd and Clemson are tops in state college basketball circles as the only quin tets with .500 or better won-lost records. And with but five weeks left in the state’s 13-week season, exclus ive of tournament play, it looks like those four will stay on top. An 11-game schedule this week may shake up the records some, but not too much—one of the top four plays more than two games, and none is against one another.
