THE BULLDOGS ELIMINATED Columbia Wins from Camden I 7 I The Camden Bulldogs were eliminat j?jd from the state race for champion [ ship honors by the Capitols on Friday | afterr.oon, before the largest crowd levef assembled in Camden to witness football. The Columbia lads re sembled in their play the Charleston boys of three ur four years back when they knocked the hopes of winning the state crown from the Bulldogs. We predict that this same Columbia team will have little trouble winning again this year in the race for the cham; ionship. I The first half was played on about I even terms, with Columbia having the |ed^e through the beautiful reverse end ? run for some sixty or seventy yards through the Camden secondary de . fense by Capt. MeCarley. He seems , to have caught the Camden end, and half-bar!; napping, and through goo 1 dodging and side stepping evaded the other backs. Throughout this half the Cam i en lads themselves played as if they were to be champions as with a great come back they put the ball within teach of the goal posts and Clyburn sent it through for three points. The end of the half found the gold |en jerseyed boys of Camden near ex haustion while Columbia with he: many reserves were primed for the second half. During the intermission the Columbia coach pointing toward the Camden squad said, "Look at the Camden squad. There are only two or three n-,en there who can be substi tuted. We are going to wear them out and then beat them. Captain Me Carley, .whenever you see a man til ing call on me for a fresh man." And sj it was. The first eleven men who en tered the game for the locals matched | in strength and more than matched in courage the first eleven placed on the field by Columbia, as was clearly de monstrated by the wonderful fight they made. But just an the Columbia coach had said the length of the per iods began to tell, the Columbia re serve strength got in its work, the Camden defense and offense weaken ed as one after another-- exhausted' and injured men were taken out and the score began to pile up. Camden was defeated bul her spirit was unbroken. Time after time dur ing the last few minutes of the game our fighting boys stopped the Colum bia backs in their tracks, showed a flash of offensive here and there. In other words they fought.to the finish. Columbia's superiority was in num bers, in running attack and individual stars. Camden's in pure unadulterat ed grit and passing-or in other words air attack. Perhaps had this kind of an attack been used more frequently by the Camden boys their total would have been larger. The stars among the Capitols have been mentioned by a daily paper. The starj of the Cam den team were as many as were men ?who played in the game. Captain Brown deserves first mention for his steady, heady, unspectacular playing; Rhame, C. for his defensive work, Cly burn for his cool passing, defensive work and his beautiful place kick, and Haynes for his pass receiving, al though covered on almost every play he got nway with some good one. In the line nil did good work but perhap. McLaughlin was most effective de onnively, along with Hough, Rhame i}., Sowc M and Russell. The bnys who played for Camden were Brown II. Haynes, Clyburn, Rhame C., Brown T., Moore, Russell, Sowell, Flowers, Rhame B , Davidson, Campbell, Hough, Trapp, McLauchlin, Goodalo A. Local Marine Assigned to Duty in Chile. I'arris Island, S.
