C., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1929 No. 7 ALUMN CAROLINA CITADEL < FETED AT FAIR ORANGEBURG HOST FOR DAY 1 Little Classic Of South Carolina Football Ends In Gamecock Win 1 Almost ten thousand people gathered 1 at the Orangeburg fair Thursday to see a fighting Bulldog team go down in defeat before the clawing and scratching of a clever Gamecock team. Boineau and Stoddard for the University, and Wilson for the Citadel, were largely responsible for the 27 to I 14 score. The Bulldogs came to the Edisto City with blood in their eves, . too much so in fact, for it seemed to blind them during a great part of the c struggle. r The Gamecocks showed a surpris- t iug offense throughout the game. A 0 few minutes after the Charleston team made the first score, the comeback of s the Birds was such that the final 1 score was never in doubt. Captain Julian Beall and his men repeatedly 7 stopped the trick plays of the Citadel backs before the line of scrimmage N was reached. The Carolina line, tak- ^ ing advantage of its new-found power, H held the cadet line to better than even (| terms, and the holes through it were > few and far between. Fine as was the work of the linesl men, the spectacular thrills of the ^ day were provided by the backs. 2 Boineau was a terror to the opposition 1 and could not be stopped. On one 8 occasion he circled left end for thirtythree yards and a touchdown and on * another made a thrilling return of a e punt for seventy yards and a score, t; He completed his afternoon by kick- ? ing three extra points. Stoddard also 1 had a fine day, carrying a pass thrown by Rhame from the Citadel's thirty- s nine yard line for another counter. s Both of the soldiers' runs came as a r result of long runs by Wilson, the quarterback. 0 The game, called the "little classic" \ of the state, was accompanied by the c usual color attached to the annual af- ' fair at Orangeburg. The bands of both schools were present and greatly 1 aided their respective cheering sec- 1 tions. A picked Citadel platoon gave \ . ___ q (Continued on Page 5) > S. P. E. And S Ins ta lie ?

The Marine Hand was procured for the occasion by the special efforts of Barney A. Earley, executive secretary of the association, and will enhance the eventful day with two concerts. The first concert, at 11 o'clock in the morning, will begin the official program of the day. It will be held in the 1* ield House of the University, and will cator especially to the children of Columbia and its vicinity. Another concert will be given at 8 o'clock in the evening. This promises to be a major feature of the festivities and the band, with its wide reputation should draw large crowds to the Field House for each of the two concerts. The receipts of the concerts will be used by the Alumni Loan fund, which aids worthy students to carry on their college education. The admission to the morning concert will be $1.00 for adults and 25 cents for children, while the prices for the evening entertainment has been announced to be $1.00, with $1.50 for special chair scats.

Taylor Branson, is coming to Columbia, S. C. Never before, it is stated, has the I nited States Marine Band assembled so many musical features as are presented on its programs this season. Selections, varying in range and technique from the greatest works of the masters to the unique rhythm of modern musical compositions, have been chosen to enliven the concerts this year. Special attention has been given to a study of acoustics. No matter where you sit?whether in front row orchestra or the last row balcony? you will find the performance equally enjoyable. Capt. Taylor Branson has made a careful study of indoor halls, auditoriums, theatres, etc., and has worked out the most effective grouping of instruments for every type of public hall architecture, to produce perfect tonal clarity regardless of volume. I he I nited States Marine Band brings to Columbia probably the greatest single group of renowned soloists who have ever appeared on any one occasion at the Field House. It is unusual that such world-famous musicians as Arthur Witcomb, John 1*. White, Robert Clark and Wilbur 1). KicfTer arc heard on the one program. But this year they arc promised in a number of solos with the I'nited States Marine Band.
