    Student teams gave it their all during Wildcat Wars, a grueling and gladiatorial contest of wills and wiles, that was decided in a Friday night squeaker.

    Claiming overall honors and an ice cream social – by one point, no less – was the squad from CDJ (Clinton, Delaware and Juniata halls), with Lancaster/York halls finishing an oh-so-close second. Dauphin Hall placed third, followed by the team of upper-class and off-campus combatants.

    About 300 students took part in the energetic competition, a Penn College tradition for nearly a decade.

    ... that soon erupted in an intimidating (though good-natured) battle cry.
    Penn College's hands-on reputation extends to tug-of-war intensity.
    A mad scramble gets the dodgeball, um, rolling?
