Chester furnishes the opposition again with what apparently is an even stronger team than they had last year. Their game Friday with Newberry resulted in a score of 83 to 0 in favor of Chester. Since last year Chester has been placed in Class A football along with Columbia, Charleston, Greenville and others be cause of the larger number of stu dents enrolled. Though the two teams have no chance to battle it out for 13 Class honors this year the rivalry is always keen. The Camden Team played jts first game of the season with the Rantams of Charleston on Saturday and though outweighed fifteen or twenty pounds to the yian fought the heavy boys to a standstill. It seemed for a time that Camden would win as the first half ended 7 to 6 in her favor. Every man who entered tho game showed the old Camden spirit of fight to the last ditch. To those, who saw the game the material showed up sur prisingly well. With tho return of several regulars who wero out Sat urday on account of injuries Camden is expected to show the strength of other years. Those football fans who love to see real honest to goodness hair raising thrilling football should seo Chester and Camden in action Friday after noon. MRS. H.
