Swansea furnished tho oppo- i sition. Swansea will be remembered! as a big team that gave Camden a great light in the elimination series last year. This year they held Hates-j burg-I^eesville. to a very low score.' Hatesburg in turn succeeded in ul-! most stopping the Brookland-Cayce! aggregation which is much improved this year, now champions of their, district, h riday at 3 p. m. Marion furnishes thC opposition. Fans will remember that Marion won- the championship of the lower Jialf of the State last year and was defeated in the final game by Chester. Marion recently lost a hard fought game to Conway (2 to 0). Conway and Cheraw will light it out on Friday for the championship of district number 6. The winner of this game will play Camden on November 20, the place to be determined later. Backers of the Bulldogs would do well to see both c-f these.games,.particularly the one on Friday as this will give a line on the comparative strength of the local team and the winner of the sixth district. The game today will be played at 3 p. m. at the Zemp Field. Newberry was forced to cancel their game with Camden in order to play Union for the championship of District 2. Newberry will come to Camden for game on Friday, Nov. 13. Camden Won From Barnwell Camden high school eleven was the winner over Barnwell high school by a score of 32 to 13, at the game played at the Kershaw County Fair last Friday. Camden Defeats Swansea Camden high school football team won another victory Thursday afternoon from a hard-fighting team from Swansea high school, by a score of 26 to 0. The Swansea boys played hard clean football and near the end of the game gave the Camden boys a scare when they took to the air in an effort to score. McCaskill, Boheler and McNinch were the best ground gainers for Camden. Baldwin and Moore in the line played well. Hildebrand and Jackson ran well for Swansea. Salor, the Swansea center, played a good game. This lad broke through many times and threw the Camden b&cks for losses. - Camden plays Marion today on the local field and this should be a very good game. Marion boasts a strong team.
