N). 17 FRESHMEN LEA FOR ST Citadel and Newberi Near Carolina Fresh 47, Citadel Fresh 16. As the sports editor of the News and Courier says, "one of the most decisive defeats ever admionistered a Citadel basketball team." The Citadel had no alibis to offer, the Chicks were just all over them, outplaying them in every departmcnt of the game, their well oiled smooth working machine going over the young Cadets like a steam roller. Only at one time was the Citadel team within sight of victory, early in the first period, when there was only three points separating the two scores. Wise & Co. however, soon got busy and by the end of the period had rung up 26 points 4o the Candy Cadets' six. Wise was the individual star of the game, .playing a wonderful game at center and accounting for 25 points of the team's score. However he was giv en unusually fine backing, the passing working wonderfully and every main using the hesot of team work. Citadel only scored four field has kets, two by the unexcelled Teddy Weeks, who put tip a great game against heavy odds. The floor work of Rogers was about ,the best ever seen in Char lestoii. Buck Shillito putt tupu a gio game at guard for the Cadets. There is difficulty inl pointing out -he hiddies' star as such a victory would have been impossible without the sterling work and cooperatiin of every member of the team. The t4hlieavy score belies the fact that the game was ,not only fast and furious --hroluglu'lt bit als( spc0acul lar at times. The following line ip and siuimary gives one a comprelien sive bird's eye of the game: COUNCIL ANNOUNCES DEBATING SCHEDULE ORATORICAL DATE FIXED Big Triangle Date Changed Several Contests Held Here Soon At a recent meeting (if tlie Deating Council the 21s-t of March was decided upon as tile date for the I ig Triangle hebate betweenl Tennessee.
