mSs L) CAROLINA WINS OVER BULLDOG MONDA Y NIGHT Gamecocks Whipped Cadets by Defensive Work and Spec ulative Shots CITADEL'S SECOND DEFEAT Birds Word like a Clock-Hol combe and Pritchard Sensational Carolina route(l the Ci-alel Bulldogs early in the game that was never over come, the final score being, 32 to 25 It was a great victory for the Gamecocks as the Cadets have been defeated by only one other team this year, the Mercer Bears. Furman and others have fallen before their attack, and it was only by brilhiant defensive work and spectacular shots, that the Birds were able to outclass the Bulldogs. From the very start of the game Ca rolina showed the Cadets that tle) were up against it, and so the first half was purely a defensive game for both teams, ending with Carolina leading 13 to 10. In the second half the play was equally as interesting; both teams were ringing baskets. With only a few min utes to play Coach Stoney sent in a number of substitutes, but the Bulldogs could do little with them. The two Charleston boys, Buster Hol combe and Eddie Pritchard, probably played the biggest part in defeating their home town collegians. Holcombe made some long sensational shots, and would often take the ball right out of a Cadets hands, and dribble down the floor to ring a basket. Eddie Pritchard played exceptionally good on defense, his guarding being probably the best that has been demonstrated here this year. It was largely his alertness that broke up many Citadel goals. Chandler played an all-round good game, and many times he would break up dribbles and passes by his speedy interference. Heinnie Fair was always in the thick of the fight and his general play was splendid. It was he who made the first goal for the Gamecocks. Monk Clark was there, as usual, and his pass work was very clever. He made several beautiful one-hand shots from difficult angles. 'lhe whole team played like a clock, with scarcely any player surpassing the other. The entire Citadei team played well with Figg and Johnson playing the most consistent game. Figgs guarding was sensational and Johnson's all-round play ing was above par. Cavaliers Select New Officers for Term Also Choose Delegates to South ern Fencing Conference on February 18th.
