Two af the I time-tested lngreflir,rLrr ? tan, )w <ra?M Win Niul you Camden Wins Class B State Championship - (By John A. Montgomery) Camden's preelslve, clock-like grid-, iron machine turned back a valiant but smaller Honoa Path aggregation here this afternoon, 26 to 0, to bring the South Carolina Class li high school footbull championship buck to this beautiful tourist resort. Five years ago the local boys climaxed a tumultous state scholastic football campaign by trouncing its arch rival, Chester, by 32-7 on Christmas day in Columbia. Every year since that time the Bulldogs have reached the flnuls, but not until this afternoon were they able to regain the throne. On the final play of the first Quarter G. T. Hendrix hit the line to close a GO-yard touchdown march. After intercepting a puss, Camden drove GO yards in the third period for another six-pointer. The tally came when George West took u snap from the ID-yard mark, hurled u puss to Ruymond Moore and Moore shot a lateral to Iihunie, who raced the final eight yards to the goal Jine. Followiug a fumble in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs marched 15 yards for a touchdown with Hendrix going over the .final stripe. Dickey Brunlvum raced off left tackle for 32 yards to close a 62-yard parade and the game ended with the Bulldogs within live yards of another touchdown, Camden tried no kicks for extra points. West passed to Branhum after the first six-pointer "and Hendrix rammed the line after the third. A r pass and a line play failed. The championship eleven is directed by John Villepigue, local business man whose elevens since 1926 have been beaten in their clasB only by ultimate state champions. The upstate runner-up for Palmetto laurels is handled by Hartley Coleman, presl- ! dent of the South Carolina High School Coaches Association. Both teams showed the results of thorough coaching. Camden combined a well-balanced running attack with an accurate and deadly passing offensive. Honea Path executed laterals and triple passes with the expertness of college varsity men. Linemen on both sides. j>layed alertly. The Honea Path magicians, employing the Notre Dame style of attack, went to the Camden 34 in the second period before losing the- ball fj n downs. The advance was their most dangerous threat. After staging an infantry advance, they went to the air, but their aerial work proved ineffective due to poor receiving. Runners broke into the clear and passes were Bhot to them perfectly, but they failed to make catches. Camden claimed. the advantages in weight and reserve strength. Honea Path had only 14 players of playing size. Camden had two elevens of almost equal size and strength. George West, a 15-year-old junior, was outstanding In an all-star Camden backfield and received able cooperation from Dicky Branham, Doug Lynch and Hendrix. Stocky Jack Rhame, left end, had the value of a fifth man in the backfield, for time after time he clipped off neat gains on end-around-end plays. Henry Brown and Bills Rowqll costarred with Rhame In the line. Harold ("Hack") Latimer, triple threat, was the big gun of the backfield from Anderson county while' Vance Lusk, Milton Monroe, Arthur Holland and Phlnnie Latimer played best in the line. Cfcmden closed its season today with only one defeat charged against it. Charleston, a Class A team, beat the Bulldogs earlier in the sqagon. The local eleven succeeds Beaufort, which it eliminated in the lower state finals, to the State Class B title. Lineups and summary: ~ Honeath Path (0) Camden (26) LB?Lusk ... ..
