CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1933 No. 10 Camden Loses Championship Game John A Montgomery in The State Van Edwardri, blond, bare-headed Moses of the Johnston football tribe, led his team out of the wildeiness to a 20 to 15 victory over Camden and the state Class B high school champ ionship here this afternoon. The sun was sinking low behind ^ the Kershaw county fair grounds, and P 1,600 spectators had watched one of the most perefectly timed football machines in America ? and that no exaggeration ? toss Johnston back' ward for two touchdowns and a safe ty, when the upstate champions took the aii and in less than ten min utes had overcome Camden's lead and won th ? game. The score was 15 to 0, Camden's favor in the middle of the last period It appeared that the visitors were hopelessly beaten. Their pasring at lack had gone on the rocks, as Ed wards' forwards had slippej out of the grasp of 'butter-fingerp a receivers Their ground attacV: had como v? naught against a dogged, battling Camden line that wouid not yield They were powerless against the pre cisive, driving machine of the local eleven. Then, usddenly, there was a change The Red Sea of^despair opened up and the Johnstonians literally "pasesd" through for three touchdowns in quicK succession, thereby overtaking the lower staters' elad and winning th^ first state title for the Edgefield city Camden Scores Camden tallied its first six-pointer on a 52 yard march climaxed by e 22 yard toss from Wooten to DeLoaoh to close the distance.

Edwards kicked point from placement for his team's 20th point and tho scoring ended for tho day. Camden went to the air in a final desperate effort to regain the lead that had been so suddenly swept out ] of its hands. One pass was good for nine yards and another for 11, but Johnston took the ball on downs and when the final whistle sounded was on its vay with afa st moving ground attaci'. Losers Extend Hand. | After the fray the citizens of this hospitable and sportsmanlike old city went out on the field and extended hands of eongratuations to the visi tors and victors. Not many defeats hnve been charged against the local eleven on the local grounds. No doubt today's loss was abitter dose to the | local fans who saw another champion- 1 I ship within reach, but they wero high in their praise of the Johnston boys who staged a maginficent comeback to take the mythical trophy away f rom them. Throughout Conch ohn Villepigue's regime as conch of tne Camden high school eleven, not one of his tenms hns lost except to an ultimate champ ion. That record is not broken. A^ though the loser, Camden did what no other South Carolina team has done this year when it crossed the Johns | ton goal line. The metronome-paced Camden team was exact and precisivo in its maneuvers and presented a dazzling reportolre of reverses, spinners, fakes and laterals that kept the Tieavier Johnston players guessing. Every thrust was well executed and the de fense was solid against the JohnsUIh charges until it crumbled before the i deadly "paryer" passers of ho closing 1 minutes.

HARRIS BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS Besides saving lives and teaching people how to care for those suffer- * ing from tuberculosis, what do the ilttle Christmas seals do? Right here in South Carolina a lit tle boy and his daddy who thought maybe the mother of the family would never be with them anymore, will be reunited for Christmas. Here's how it came about: Several years ago, the mother, may be her name is Mrs. Harris, was taken ill. For a while nobody could find the cause of the constant cough and fever, but by and by she went to the tuberculosis clinic. There it was found that she was another victim of the dreaded white plague. Her fam ily became almost panicky. So few people recovered, they thought, and they almost lost hope. But they heard about the sanatorium, and they began to cheer up. Before very long Mrs. Harris was entered as a patient, and although for a while she wan very ill, it was not long before she began to show signs of improvement. Mr. Harris and the little boy would go to see her frequently and after a while, there was talk of moving mother away to a new house, where there would be a large screened porch. All the furniture was to be collected from the friends and rela tives who had been caring for it, and best of all little Johnny and his daddy would soon be having mother back home again. Unlike many, many plans that people make, these turned out beauti fully Of course Johnny enjoyed being at his grandmother's and his daddy was very glad to have such a good place for Johnny to stay, but Johnny often wondered why his motehr had to he in th hosepital while othr?r little hoys' mothers could bo homo with therm. Hut all that is changed now. Mr". Harris is back home in tho new house. Of course she must be very carefu!, but she is more than ready to do that, both for ehr own sake and Johnny s and Mr. Harris'. And ? best of all, this year, Santa Glaus will com" to see Johnny in his own home, and he'll have his mother and fathe, l.oth with him. Until this time, Johnny does not remember such a happy Christmas. He was too little when his mother went away to recall a Christmas at home. This is one household where tho real spirit of Christmas will reign, and all because the publie bought the
