Monday's Columbia State carried a play-by-play account of the game as furnished by V. Ingle, staff correspondent, who seemed to think Camden played mighty fine football. Here's his story: The score of Friday's game does not entirely tell the story of the battle for .Camden was scrapping every minute of tfy# pUy and constantly threatening to get away. In the first quarter, thi first play after kick-off by Mullins, Trapp, Camden half, threw fear into the home team by lipping off 80 yards around left end through a thickly dotted field. Smith, Mullins right end, stopped him with u smashing tackle. Kadcliffe, Camden half, followed suit by taking 8 yards around end. Sowell, Camden quarter, took 8 yards through the line while Campbell, Camden full, followed up with 8 yards off tackle. Things were beginning to look serious for the Mtfllins outfit as the lighter but speedy Camden team all but swept the locals off their feet in the first few minutes of the play. The locals tightened and took the ball on downs. Frortt this time on Mqllins showed superior football. v After taking the ball, O. Smith, right half for Mullins, smashed off tackle for 4 yards and Strickland, rangy and fast Mullins quarter, took 6 more on the same play. G. Blount, fullback, with a 3-yard gain through the Camden line, made first down for Mullins. M. Blount provided the home fans a thrill with an 18-yard run on un,off tackle play, Strickland picking his chances with a remarkable sense, directed the Mullins aggregation for consistent gains, placing the ball on the 26-yard line by a 15-yurd pass to M. Blount. Taking IhW ball nbeut the 26-yard line. StrvJnard showed his first bu st of the by ripping off over 2b yards around end to place the'baU within abdut one-yard of goal. G Blount smashed the line for the first t uuhdown, seven minutes after the opening whistle. Yarborough, big Mu'nins guard, dropped back and nonchalantly booted the extra point from placement. Mullins kicking off, Trapp, Camden half, returned for 10 yards. The Mullins outfit, drawing fi^st blood of the game, refused to give and forced Sowell, Camden quarter, to punt on the fourth down. Sowell's punt m'.scued. Mqllins opened up with a lateral pass and lost 3 yards. Strickland attempted to pass on the next play but was downed in his tracks. Forced to kick, Strickland booted the ball 40 yards. Radcliffe of Camden on an off tackle play took 5 and Campbell behind perfect interference made first down. Trapp with a short end run added 7 and Campbell took 4 more off tackle for first down. Mullins was penalized 5 and Campbell added more to Camden's yardage, with a run for 15 yards, dodging, squirming and twisting through the Mullins outfit, around left end. A pass, Sowell to Campbell, straight over the line of scrimmage, netted 5. Campbell took 3 through the line. On the next play Sowell was dropped in his tracks, Rogers, Mullins center, making a magnificent tackle. Beginning the second quarter with the ball in Mullins' possession, G. Blount nearly got away around right end but was stopped by Radcliffe with a 3-yard gain. Strickland took 4 off tackle. And there followed a series of straight football plays interrupted by only one pass, Strickland tossing the ball to M. Blount who spread it with one hand just as he fell. On tK?3becond pass of the second quarter attempted by Mullins, Campbell of Camden reached high in the air to intercept it and was downed where he stood, Camden drove- the ball consistently for a few plays and followed with a pass, Campbell to Trapp, for 20 yards, Trapp dashing for 5 more yards before he was stopped. A couple of line plays and Camden again pulled a pass for a 6-yard gain, Sowell to Campbell. Camden failed to make the required yardage and was forced to punt. In punting Sowell of Camden, sideswiped the ball with his foot and sent it directly across the field with virtually no_ gain. It was snatched by M. Blount who carried it 15 yards, deep into the Camden territory. A couple of line plays by M. Blount and O. Smith, made Mullins a first down. Fighting desperately Camden forwards stopped Strickland behind the line of scrimmage but G. Blount went through the line nnd Strickland off tqckle made another first down. (J. Blount added 5 and his brother, M. Blount, smashed 10 off tackle for first down.' Smith bucked the line for a yard and with a yard to go G. Blount went over for the second touchdown. One of the Caihden forwards, breaking through Mullins line to intercept Yarborough's placement, knocked the hall squarely between the goal posts for the added point. The half ended with the ball about midfield. Camden kicking off at the opening of the second half, Captain - Collins, MuHins end, returned the hall for ?0 yards. M. Blount and Strickland with two plays off tackle and Strickland's smashing the line for seven yards made the first down. A. Hatfield, who replaced G. Blount at half at the beginning of the second half, set the Mullin* supporter wild with a brilliant run arofeud right end. Following a couple of line play* Mull inn was penalized 15 yardel Hatfield'* long attempted pass to the goal line failed and another paisa, Strickland's short pass to Hatfield, was good but failed to make the required distance, Mullins lost the ball on downs.

On the next play a lateral pass, Strickland to Hatfield, waa-dsucceasful, Hatfield gaining 15 yards,, displaying a bright bit of broken field /Sprinjtihg.

Yarborough kicked successfully from placement. Mullins kicking off, Sowell returned for 10 yards and attempted a couple of line plays and a pass, which failed.

On the first play Strickland broke loose for 15 yards around left end. A lateral pass gained five and Strickland smashed through the line for 15 more. A Hatfield, on two successive off tackle plays, gained 9 yards, followed by Strickland's off tackle for 59 yards.

Camden displaying a gritty fight held the | Mullins Jads and took the ball about j Camden's own 18-yard line, Camden settled dawn to a thrilling- i ly desperate fight for the remainder I of the game and time after time pulled the Mullins runners down behind ,the line of scrimmage. Twice they took the ball on downs but were unable to make any considerable gains with the ball. But the Kershaw lads ! lacked the necessary punch to gain ; and were forced to kick. Taking the ball Strickland following a series of line plays attempted to pass but it failed. Hatfield's pass to the goal | line also failed. Mullins lost the ball on downs. Camden failed to gain j noticeably and punted to the 40-yard line. Strickland and G. Blount tried ! a couple of line plays and Mullins was ! penalized 15 yards.

A line plunge and an off tackle play by Strickland placed the ball on Camden's 1-yard line when Mullins was penalized five. Hatfield's pass over the goal line failed. The game ended with Mullins leading, 21 to 0. Camden's defensive game was much j better than its offensive, but the fast I Mull ins backs were too much for the i Kershaw lads. Camden showed its! greatest fight in the final period an.l won admiration by their gritty st^frf against the odds, but Mutlins had already piled up 21 points. Camden's line held well against the heavier Mullins forwards, but Mullins broke through at critical times. Camden's ! team, lighter than Mullins but no faster, played a hard desperate game but was unable to withstand the driving attacks of the seasoned Mullins team.

The giant ice breaker Sainte Marie, assisted by tugs and lighters charged about today with little effect against the ice formations of St. Mary's river which threaten to imprison for the winter a fleet of lake vessels bound for Canadian and United States ports. A total of 125 vessels with aggregate cargoes valued at more than $50,000,000 were still tied up in the river, the gateway from Lake Huron | into Lake Superior. After working all night and today ! the Sainte Marie had succeeded in , freeing three up-bound vessels. The ' work is exceedingly difficult and slow as it Unnecessary for the Ste. Marie to make a new lane to | I each ship and by the time she carves , a path wide enough for tugs to oper; ate in pulling the trapped ships for-' ward, the starting stretch of lane freezes over. The Ste. Marie was frozen in several times herself today and was able to pufl free with difficulty. The difficulty of the work and the inaccessibility of some of the ships led lake engineers today to express the opinion that the jam may not be completely broken before spring. Most of the work of the Ste. Marie has centered around the upper reaches of the river channel where the ica jam is less severe. With a slight spell of warmer weather it is thought r.the forty vessels imprisoned there may be freed. In the lower section of the channel sixty-six vessels, all down-bound, are L-?" mM? 1 , ii, held fast and the, remainder are imprisoned between the two outlets. The fate of the ships in the lower channel ia^_uncertain. 'They are seriously handicafraod by the down drift of ice.fl The huge cakes, broken loose by maneuvering lighters and tugs have wedged in the narrow yeuts on eqch 5 side of the Neebisch Island. At the 5 head of the river the continuation pf the below zero-' temperatures have caused the loose formation to solidify and deepen. Most of the imprisoned ships are at considerable distance off shore and the crews have remaned"aboard. The tugs are able to get clos^ snough to carry supplies and there is no food shortage as yet.-?Thereis~an acute shortage of coal, however,. and no prospects of reaching the ships' with an? after their, meager supply runs out. _T). _ There is only & SWfifill supply on hand at Saulte Ste. Marie and local officials have notified ... shlppin*L owners they "Will be unable to spare" any appreciable amount for the steamers were it possible to reach : them with ice trucks.; Approximately 2,000 sailors a^e marooned in the ice-bound chann^ Officials said there was notmmedi&ttL. fear for their safety pointed ou^that as a last res^tdJjjfc could leave their ships and makffl^^Bvay ashore; over the ice ahdnl^B Inv settlements.,..
