Sumter Eleven
Trims Bulldogs
(Friday's Sumter Item.)
A hard-driving and smartly-coached
Oaiueoock team ahoved over one
touchdown last Friday night then
wqut on to battle Camden on better
than even terms for the remainder of
the game to score Sumter's first victory
over the Kershaw lads la four
years.
Sumter had two golden opportunities
to score, once lu the first quarter
and agaiu in the Anal stausa.
The Qamecocks cashed in on the Ural,
but mlsed the second, which, however,
was not needed.
Camden tried desperately to reach
pay dirt, but the locals put up a
stonewall defense that prevented any
consistent gaining. Only once did
Camden have the ball in Sumter territory
and that was in the fourth
quarter when the visitors advanced
the leather to the Gamecock 46-yard
line. That was as close as Camden
ever came to a score, but the runniug
of Cox and Bell was always a definite
threat.
^'-Tbe game was played before thelargest
crowd that has ever Jammed
the local field for a football game,
Sumter officials announced this morning
that the gate receipts were the
biggest ever taken in, indicating a
crowd of between three and four
thousand. ,
Sumter's scoring oportunity came
midway in the first quarter. The
Gamecocks received the opening
klckoff and after running a couple of
plays, Epps booted the ball to Camden's
thirty yard line. Camden was
penalized five yards for wasting
time, which turned out to be the only
penalty of. the entire game. Then
Bell was hit hard on an end run, the
ball squirted from his arms and was
gathered in on the Camden thirtyfour,
by DeLorme.
The Gamecocks went right into
action from this point. A pass from
Epps to Edens just missed connecting.
Epps came right , back and
ripped off nine yards around end,
with the aid of some nice blocking.
Brown drove the center of the line
for four yards and a first down.
Edens went around end for 10 more
yards, bringing the ball to the Camden
12! On the next play Brown
was held for no gain and Epps lost"
three on an end rufri. On fourth
down, however, Epps faded back and
passed to Brown deep in the end
zone for the touchdown. Epps trjed
for the p*lra points with , a place-'
kick, but frls jhot waa low. As it
turned out, however, the extra point
was not needed.
The teams battled on fairly even
terms for .the?remainder ef the first
half" with neither able to gain consistently.
Sumter team pulled the prettiest
play of the game. With the ball at
midfleld, Epps shot a short pass to
Edens near the sideline. Edens
then lateralfed to Brown who dodged
and twisted his way 40 yards, finally
being knocked down on the
Camden 12. Camden tightened up
here, however, ami took the ball on
downs on her own six, \fter a Sumter
pass fell incompletej on fourth
down. /
It was from this point that Camden
put on her longest sustained
drive. Taking the ball on the six
yard line, the Bulldogs drove to the
the Sumter 46 before the Gamecooks
held. Runs by Bell and Cox
and a couple of nice passes from
Cox to Watt* and from Bell--to--Mar*"
shall were responsible for most of
the yardage. Finally T. A. Edens
broke through and tossed Bundrlck
for a seven yard loss and -oil fourth
down a bad pass gave the ball to
Sumter on the Camden 38, ending
the serious threat, v
Camden put on another brief drive
towards the end of the game, tbnt
it failed to get very far. During
this last brief rally, Bundrlck and
DeLorme were ejected from the
game when they came together in
near fisticuffs. No blows were passed
and no damage was done, except
to the feelings of the two belliger?
enta.
Sumter had the ball and had Just
ripped off a first down on line bucks
by Brown when the game ended.
The game was featured by the
hard play of both teama, with Sumter
holding a distinct edge over the
eptire route. Very few substitutes
were used by either team. Merrill,
Camden's fine center, was taken to
the Toumey hospital in an unoonscious
condition. He regained con1
sciousness later, however, and waa
reported as not bqing seriously in
Jured. _ ~ ""
For Sumter, Epps, Brown and
Edens were outstanding for their
all-round play in the backfield, wit!
McCoy turning in some nice defen
slye work. The entire Sumter, lin<
played brilliantly, wUb-iEdena an<

8idellne Remark*
The Sumter High school band put
on a Hue exhibition of marching be
tween the halves. If there is a better
high achool band in the state, we
haven't sedn or heard it. Not only does
the Suiuter band march well and present
a flue appearance in its colorful
uniforms, but it plays unusually well.
Professor Molse has done a fine job
In training the band.
For some reason, Sumter " fans
had a feeling last night that., the
Gamecocks were going to win and it
would have been a bitter disappoint*
ment if they hadn't. Nothing but satisfaction
over the way the team performed
was expressed on all - sides at
the conclusion of the battle.
Will Muldrow, the lightest regular
ill the Sumter line, Is also one
of the mosjt dependable. Will's
weight Is put down as 140 pounds,
but that is probably bragging a little.
(Big linement opposing him flpd
him about as easy to handle as a
maddened wildcat. J. W. Powell alternated
with Muldrow at left guard
last night and also turned In a fine
Job. r, I
j l
In Cox, Camden has one of the
best backfleld men In the state.
Built close to the ground, Cox Js fast
as greased lightning and unusually
hard to knock down. He was a
threat all the way and only the fast
charging of the Sumter linemen kept
him within bounds.
I
Coaches Clark and Berry were receiving
congratulations on all sides
last night at the conclusion of the
game. They have done a fine Job so.
for in training & rather light squad.
The team showed the results of this
training last night. Every man knew
what to do and usually did It.
Robert Epps had hard luck with
two perfectly plaoed punts. Aiming
, for the "coffin corner" the ball hit
within Ave yards of the goal line
both times, but instead of bouncing
out of bounds It hopped crasily over
the goal line. Both the Shmter and
Camden punting was of a high order.
Gene Brown was In top form, being
almost unstopable in his drives
through the line. When there was no
hole, Brown put his head down and
opened up one. He also made the
longest run of the game In the third
quar ter when he? ripped off rorly
yards after receiving a lateral that
followed a short pass. On this run
he sidestepped several tacklers and
l came within ten yards of making the
touchdown. ^

Another Good Day
We journeyed over to Sand Mouutain
and back to Quntersvllle Sunday
to the boat races. In the presence
of thousands, sweltering In the heat
of the sun, in thd absence of a program
and knowledge of boat racing,
we enjoyed the act put on by "the
whiskered old' man" of the river, W.
P. Cagle, with his homemade hand
propelled J>oat best of all the boat
stuff. Visiting, talking, nodding, castlug
and receiving frleudly glaucea
from old acquaintances by the Score
was by far the best of the occasion
for us.
People are the most beautiful, most
interesting, and the most loved things
in this world. We, for one,, love people
and are filled with delight to Bee
them enjoy living.
The races were speedy, noisy and
thrilling and did they draw a crowd!
Think of 50,000 people in a town sufficient
to bed less than 5,000. That
was old Guntersvllle's biggest day.
