The above tells the tale of another of Carolina's battles toward the state champion ship. It was one of those fast, iD furious and breath taking ganies that keep one on thie r toes and gasping for breath all the time, where one woulm t- hardly relapse from one stir of rig play before another would bring theimi up to Iigh tension again. First one teain woulki bd be in the lead and then the v- other until it was just aiy nt mans game. By good luck the to whistle blew while Carolina L)y wvas in the lead and wve added n another to that string of vie p. tories that has been broken by or only one teami in the state. - Both teais felt that they were Il playing for the championship I- of the state and both teams Ir. were keyed to the highest ten y- siol. The pass work of the -Citadel team was the best that ,,n has been seen on a local court it- this year vith the possible ex i ception of the fast little he Charleston liigh team. How Ih- ever, Carolina's steady guards it. broke up most of the Citadel at plays. It was a guard's game, h), with the guards of both teams in starring. Carolina was badly he off in ter shooting, nissing w- several goals that should have el netted points. 'Th'e amNe was th rough ith Citadel getting al little the worst of tie rough )r- play, not oil account of their )m state of mind, but oi account es of the difference in size be lie tween the two teams. The Cit ii- adel players were ready for a as rough gane but it is always a -e. bad policy for a good little lie man to start a rough house as Is.
