Richards and other loverB of the chase out for a feast of fox hound music. But sly Reynard, when flushed south- of here, led the dogs over hills and hollows Into the village, where In the maze of buildings, wire fences and other obstacles to fast locomotion, he outwitted his pursuers near the barnyard of Mackey-Jones companv store, and so far as we know has not been heard of since.

' A greatly improved Camden Bulldog aggregation scored a SO to 0 Win over an outolaaaed Darlington high outfit last Friday night at Darlington. Camden displayed a lot of Ufa and pep and demonstrated that the Vllleplgue coached crowd Is definitely on the way. Camden struck pay dirt In the first five minutes of play when a aeries i of running plays and ,an occasional pass with Cox and Bell doing tha pall totln' put the oval over for the first touchdowq. A psss to Cox added the extra point. Twice again In the first half did the Bulldogs strike. Camden scores were hung up by Bell, Cox and Bundrlok. In the second half all members of the Camden squad bad a chance to work up a perspiration, Camden seemingly doing a coasting stunt while they polished up on a passing attack with Bell, Billy Mullen and Cox strutting the big Bertha feats. Because of this practice occasion the Darlington lads escaped having the Bulldogs Toll up an Impressive total against them. Individual work on tne back field was evenly divided between Johnny Mullen, McCasklll, Pell and Cox, with Johnny playing the spinner back spot. Charley McCasklll and Jacki Marshall alternated at calling signals. Some splendid blocking was done by Follin Watts and Charley McCasklll. This lad McCasklll will bear watching. He Is 6 feet In height, scales about 186 pounds and Is showing a, lot of stuff as a blocking back. He also snared some passes that were really hard to catch.
