Team Has Good Record Over Period of Years Wlhen the big Charleston high football team defeated Camden on Saturday it made the second team that had been able to defeat Camden since the 1928 season. The other team to defeat Carqden in that long period of .time was the Chester high team. . The BalesburgnLeesville team defeated Camden in the lower-state championship in 1928, and this makes three teams to defeat Camden since the 1927 football season. Since the 1927 season, Camden ha?^. played in the lower-state championship series, the upper-state championship and three timeR in the state championship, winning the state championship in 1931. Until the defeat on Saturday, Camden had never lost a game prior to the championship series since the 1927 season. The team played Charleston without the services of Flowers, the captain, and two linesmen, who were on the injured list, but managed to lead the first half by a score of 7-6. _ ?

Camden played last Saturday the strong team from Charleston in the City by the Sea and the score although being 20 to 7 in favor of the Charleston lads was one full of thrills. Chester played Newberry last Friday and won by a score of 33 to 0. Chester has been .put in Class A this year, having an enrollment sufficient to be classed with Colum_!? Spartanburg, Charleston, Oreenville and other of the larger towns of the state, so- the two teams will" * not have a chance to contend for 25s, championship this year. _^nis is pro&ably the ..only chance Camden will get to play this team, ? full attendance is expected. Admission will be adults 60 cents, ?' an?school children 26 cents. Don't miss this game. Coma out and show the team you are with them. -*zr " -
