CLEMSON AND CAR LIMA.
Considerable Friction Between the Student
Body Of Each In Columbia Fair Week.

A considerable amount of friction
was developed between the student
bodies of Clemson and Carolina in
Columbis last week during the Fair.
1t was all the result of the feeling
aroused in the football game on
Thursday morning, in which Glenn
SON, for the first time in six
years, was defeated by Carolina,
the score being II to 8. As
was to be expected, the Carolina
boys went wild and Clemson's de-
3eat was hard for her to bear.
Thursday night after the game a
crowd of Carolina boys marched mp
Main street holding aloft a banner
upon which was painted a tiger, the
emblem of the Clemson team, and
above the tiger was a game cock
growing. Clemson considered this
an insult and the row began. The
matter, however, did not result se-
riously on Thursday night, OWING to
the interference Of non-interested
gentlemen. A few faces wer cut
and bruised. |.,
On Friday night, after the great
Ellis Carnival parade, the matter
came very near having another SO
rious turn.
Daring the day the Carolina boys
said they would, as they thought
they had a perfect right to do, carry
the much discussed transparency
with the tiger and the game cock in
their section of the parade. The
Clemson College boys said they
would not permit it The parade
took place and during the entire
parade the College boys carried their
float, with the Carolina game cock
growing over the Clemson tiger, with
q twist in his tall. When tina pa-
rade Was dismissed the South Caro-
lima boys went straight to their
m and when the Clemson
cadets we're dismissed 8 considerable
number of the corps went to the
College grounds and made demand
for the discussed transparency with
the cock growing over the Clemson
tiger. The Carolina boys asked what
would happen if they would not sur
render the trophy. The cadets said
they would have it and that was all
there was about it. Some OF them
wanted.to move on&the campus, but
Maior Wiley, q cadet, urged and
begged that the cadets remain out
side Of the campus. Mr.. Cater, a
former Clemson boy, and others
Joined in the appeal. The Clemson
boys remained outside of the campus
and lined up on one of the walks
and the Carolina boys on the other
side. A former Carolina boy mounted
the brick fence and suggested that
the fate of the transparency be de-
eided by q fight between himself and
any one Clemson chose. This propo-
sition was not accepted. Then some
one, said to be Mr.. ". c.. Bennett,
suggested that each College appoint
q committee of three and that each
S College ABIDE the decision of this
committee, whatever it be.
This was agreed to. Carolina chose
Holmes, Sally and Law and Glenn
son chose Forsyth, Wylie and
Chisolm. The committee, after de-
liberation, announced that it had
been determined that the joint COM
mittee. burn tbe transparency be-
tween the two lines. The boys were
told that it bore the emblem Of both
colleges, and that Carolina had car
ried its point in parading through
the evening with the transparency,
and Clemson in having it destroyed.
The Carolina boys never intended
having trouble in carrying the ban
ner designed by a professor OF the
College, but as their right to carry
it had been denied, they carried it
through the parade, and rather than
have bloodshed they consented to
burn the trophy, much to the dis
gust of some of the hotter heads.
The agreement was that both bodies
the students would consent that the
ssemblem" should be burned right
