Citadel Cadet Poor S Many Fights And Skirmishes Mark Annual Tilt At Orangeburg Last Thursday Many fights and minor skirmishes marked the annual tilt between the University of South Carolina and the Citadel in Orangeburg last Thursday. Not only were the players inspired to do superhuman feats of strength, but also the cadet corps who seemingly had the orders to get a hundred Carolina freshmen caps before sundown. J'he students of the military college certainly practiced their military tactics on the pacifist student body of the University. Numerous fights were engaged In, and bravely did the cadets battle for dear old Citadel. Carolina freshmen and their caps were not safe for one minute on the fair grounds of he Orangeburg County Fair. The cadet corps seemed to be out to get "that Carolina rat." Whereever and whenever the soldiers could pick a row or steal a rat cap, they instantly took advantage thereof. One freshman was set upon a group of Citadel robbers. Long and'uhard did they maul him, but when the dust of battle had settled, the sun shown down brilliantly upon a victorious Game* cock, and the ignominious soldiers in II rctr?*t... .and they didn't get his cap.
