Camden To Play
In Beaufort Today
Beaufort, "Nov. 19.?The first championship
football game that has been
played in lower coaBtal South Caro|
Una in a ntthlrber of years will take
place Fridajti,afternoon in Beaufort
when the Camden Bulldogs and the
[ Beaufort Tidal Wave meet to determine
the Lo#er state Class B championship.
The game-will begin at 3.
o'clock promptly.
Camden has been Lowes state
i champions for several successive seer
[sons and Coach John Villeplgue has
1 molded a team this season that ia
said to top any he has put in the field
in several years. The Bulldogs took
the measure of the Charleston high
school Bantams, 7 to 0, earlier in the
I season. . Villeplgue has based a powI
erful running. attack on speed and deception
Opposed to this ontflt will
be the powerful Beaufort aggregation
i that has not allowed a point to be
scored against it in eight games and
that, spread-eagled the opposition it
'met under a deluge of 219 points.
! This game takes on additional interest
when it is noted that Camden
is the only team that has defeated
the Tidal Wave in its last 27 games
and is the only school that has been
able to defeat Beaufort twice under
the coaching of Dana McLendon. Last
year Beaufort and Camden met in
Camden for the Lower State Championship.
Camden winning, 6 to 0.
Beaufort outgained their heavier rivals
and in the final minuteb of the
game had a 40-yard pass which was
-caught on Camden's one-yard line ruled
incomplete. So.this game assumes
the standpoint of being a natural,
'both from a standpoint of traditional
rivalry and a background of bitterly
contested encounters. The Tidal Wove
will go into the game as the underdogs,
but the Beaufort fans feel that
tills is a year of football upsets and
are looking for the boys from the
coast to play the game of their lives.
Beaufort's record for the season:
Beaufort 26, Allendale 0: Beaufort
26, St. Paul 0; Beaufort 53, Walterboro
0; Beaufort 12, Summerville 0;
Beaufort 41, St. George 0; Beaufort
15, North . Charleston 0; Beaufort 7,
Ridgeland 0; Beaufort 39, Andrews 0.
The starting lineup for Beaufort
will most likely Include: H. Baldwin,
le; W. Bishop, It; Koth, Ig; Feltwell,
c; Hlnely, rg; R. Bishop, rt; Levy,
re; Bazemore qb; Collier, hb; Owens
(Capt.), hb;J. Baldwin, fb.
Others on the squad who are likely
to see service Include: Daniels and
Danner at ends, McVey and Joe Darby
at tackles, Demosthenes and Levin
at guards; Willie Brlmgle at center,
and in the backfleld Luther, Hay, R.
Bflsgle. Jim Darby and Prtpp.

League Applies
Sanctions To Italy
By orders of the league of Nutionn,
61 nations at midnight Sunday applied
a farreuchiug economic block
ado of Italy.
This blockade, enforced because the
Fascist nation had been adjudged guilty
of violating the League covenant
la intended to choke off Benito Mussolini's
undeclared?but actual?war on
Ethiopia.
The economic sanctions taken by
thd nations comprise a "buy"nothing"
boycott of virtually all Italian wares
and an embargo on exportation to
Italy of "key products" which might
provide the sinews of war.
Financial sanctions already taken
would block Italian loans or credits
abroad.
Another sanction?a general embargo
on arms, munitions and Implements
of war to Italy?already is in effect.
Red Cross Drive Doing Fine
For 366 days during the yeur the
American Red Cross stands by to give
assistance wherever it may bo needed
in the United States. It matters
not where distress or disaster may
occur in *wur nation, the lied Cross
st tnds ready to come and give all
possible relief. From Armistice Day,
November 11, to Thanksgiving Day,
the Rod Cross asks the people of
every community to stand by it.
The Annual Red Cross Roll Call

county and is coming along JUBt
line. Reports from every corner of
the county indicate that a far larger
number of people will join the Red
Cross than did last year. Join the
Red Cross right away and help us
provide a fund with which to give
help to people, upon whom serious

Invited To . See Portarit of Carnegie
The Camden Public .Library has
many loyal friends?friends who hove
given books for its shelves?friends
ho. have contributed liberally to its
Ipautlftratioft and upkeep?friends
who visit it regularly and find within
its waJIs wisdom and beauty. One
hundred years ago this month, on
November 25, 1835, the man was born
who gave us our beautiful building?
Andrew Carnegie. Recently the
Carnegie Corporation of New York
sent the local library a portrait of
Carnegie in commemoration of the
hundredth anniversary of this great
man who said, "I choose free libraries
as the best agencies for improving
the masses of people, because they
give nothing for nothing. They only
help those who help themselves. They
never pauperize. They reach the as- .
piring and open to these the chief
treasures of the world?those stored
up in books. A taste for reading
drives out lower tastes. I prefer the
free public library to most If not any
other agencies for the happiness and
improvement of a community." , Everyone
is invited to come in and see
the portrait.
Houses and Apartments Wanted
The Camden Chamber of Commerce
receives many letters dally from persons
in the North, wanting to spend
the winter here. Some write asking
information-about hotels, others about
renting cottages, apartments or intormation
about boarding houses.
Unfortunately there are very few
house* of the type that tourist want
to be found in Camden. There are
practically no apartments and very
few first cIuhb boarding bouses. As
a result many' people who want to
come to Camden have to go elsewhere.
If Camden had many up-to-datfc cottages
and apartments, no doubt but
that every one#of them could be rented
without much trouble.
Anyone having anything to rent to
tourists are asked to list same with
the Corner Book Store.
Play for Lower State Title
, Playing in a championship game Is
no novelty for* the Camden high
school team. Back in 1925 the only
game Camden lost was to Columbia,
which team won the State's championship.
Since then Camden has played
either in the up-state or low-state
championship each Beason, and five
times has played for the Championship
of tho State. Should Camden
win from Beaufort the locals will
play the winner of the Great FallsBolton,
up-state championship game,
and this championship game will likely
be played in Colun&lpda.
The success of the Camden team
is due to Coach John M. Villepigue
and his able assistants, Professor J.
G. Richards and J. B. Zemp.
. Play At Mt Plsgah
The Mt. Plsgah school faculty is
giving a play, "Deacon Dubbs" at
the high school auditorium, Tuesday

Camden Team Victor
Over Mullins* Eleven
Hartsville, Nov. 15.?liuclng through
lUw tootti-flitttln of the state championship
It district like u pack of thoroughbreds,
the Camden Bulldogs defeated
Mulling, 21 to 0. This game, played
In HartBville, drew one of the hugem
crowda of the aeaaon. Both teams
were Pearly evenly matehed, but the
tricky pla^B of the Bulldogs proved
too much for Mulling.
The game had hardly started before
Camden reeled off a couple of
tricky plftyg and placed the ball within
scoring diBtance. where llabon
drove off tackle for the drat marker
of the game. A beautiful bullet: pass
earned them the extra point. Mulling
tightened up, and both teaing played
good ball until late in the gucond
quarter, when Camden opened ith bag
of trlckg again and Captain Nolan
galloped 40 yards for the second goal.
Again a beautiful paHg gained thorn
the extru point.
Starting the second half off with
tricky plays mingled with powerful
ones. The liulldogs drove from one
goal line to the other, but were unable
to score during the third quurter.
The kicking of Rogers kept the
score from being larger. Camden
fumbled consistently, but soon worked
the ball to the 6-yard lino where West
rammed across Tor the final goal for
the liulldogs. Again the liulldogs aild%
ed the extra point to their''credit.
Mullins tried gumely to break into
the scoring column, but the liulldogs
seemed to be enjoying themselves and
refused to let Mullins score. The liulldogs
made 18 first downs to Mullins'
5. " *
Camden will meet Beaufort, winner
of the Beaufort-Andrews game in
Charleston for the lower state championship
11 district.
