1, based upon the report from Chester
that the ontlre student body of the
ligb school as well as hundreds Of
)0Wer grade students and townspeople
till lnavde the Camden field to cheer
de Cyclones to a victory. It Is expected
that between six and seven
hundred Chester fans will occupy the
east stand at the stadium when the
Dckoff takes place at 8:00 o'clock.
The Chester group will bring the
Chester high school band to add zest
to their cheering section.
So far this season the Red Cyclones
have piled up a total of seventy-five
points as against thirty-five scored by
opponents. Chester opened the eeaaon
with a 20 to'O win over York
and followed that with a 19 to 6 victory
over a powerful Union high |
team. McColl was a pushover, the
Cvclones copping 27 to 0.. The next |
game found the Jinx taking over and |
Chester dropped a 13 to 12 hot contest
to a Juggernaut from Anderson. I
Inability to convert on one Utudhdown
prevented a tie count and failure on
both conversion efforts was the margin
nf defeat, ;
Camden has scored seventy-four
points as against "Six made by oppon-1
ents so far this season. The opening,
game with Klngstree pinch-hitting for
a Florence team, went to the Bulldogs
13 to (T Darlington went down
next under a 20 to 0 score. The
third game found Camden with two,
of its power men out of the game
bowing to Sumter 6 to 0. Newberry
went down 19 to* 0 at Newberry and
Hrookland-Cayce was the last victim
when a squad of second and third
firing players defeated the Columbia
boys 21 to 0.
Camden will have full strength for
the Chester battle. The regulars
have had a lot of rest since the Newberry
game, several having been in
action for a brief interval in the
Brookland-Cayce game. It is almost
certain that McCaskill, the 170 pound
back, who has been laid up for several
weeks, will be back. Merrill has
recovered from the head injury sustained
in the Sumter game and will
see action against Chester.
The Chester squad outweighs the
Camden group by a small margin.

Camden Bulldogs
I Would Even Series
Ten years of gridiron battling between
two rival teams, during which
Chester has spanked the Bulldogs
four out of seven times, will be climaxed
under the lights at Zemp staI
dium here tonight wheir Camden
seeks to even the game count at fourall.
|' Back In 1989 Chester took the measure
of the Bulldogs In a title game
19 to 15. In 1930 the two teams came
down in the home stretch and mixed
In a scrap that will be long remembered
by the fans?the final score
being 32 to 82. In the play-off the
following week Chester won 7 to 0
and went on to play Marlon and win
the state class B title.
Camden got a chance to cheer in
1931 when the Red Cyclones fell before
the fury of the Bulldogs on Melton
field in Columbia, Camden winning
32 to 7.
In 1932 Chester fell before Camden
In an early season game 7 to 0, but
when the two teams clashed for title
honors later in Columbia, Chester
won 12 to 7. In 1933 the two teams
again battled but Chester was then
rated as an A team while Camden
still remained in the Junior bracket.
Chester won 25 to 0.
There was a three-year break in
the grid relations between the two
rival teams and no battles took place
In 1934 '35 and '36. But in 1937 relations
were resumed and Camden
smeared the Cyclones under a 23 to,
0 score. I>ast year the Bulldogs went
berserk at Chester and battered the
Cyclones under a 34 to 6 score.
Chester has an edge of four games
to three during the last ten-year per
lod. However, in the number of
points scored Camden has a big edge
having run up elfchty-nine points in^
itBline
crossed but twice.. Chester rani
up a total of seventy-three points in
four games with the Bulldogs, but
Camden crossed the Cyclone goal line^
three times.
The largest crowd of the season
will turn out for tonight's classic.
City and state traffic officers will be
on the Job to control the heavy traffic
that will converge on the football
arena. A year ago when Snmter
played In Camden there was an at
,,endance ot some 3.000 at the ball
; park. It la believed tonight's game
with the background ot rivalry between
players and fane. will attract
eaually as many spectators.
The game will he called at 8 o clock

Two Drills Weekly
For Co. M Soldiers
Members of Company M, 8outh
Carolina National Guard, have been
ordered to drill twice each week, It
was announced this week by Captain
Brevard Boykin. This week the
drills were held Tuesday and Thursday,
but beginning next week Company
M will have drills on Monday
and Tuesday nights, according to the
captain.
The new program ordered by the
war department will continue in effect
until January 31st, 1940. Ab to
whether the old routine of one drill
a week will be resumed at that time
is not known.
Purpose of the change, It is said,
is to gain the highest degree of efficiency.
This is the first time in history
that the number of drills has
been stepped up in the national
guard.
Captain Boykin announced that the
men will receive twice as much pay
per week undet* the now order. Privates
are paid $1 for each drill while
men of higher rank receive more.
The order stipulates that men who
do not attend the drills will be discharged.
Company M now has the
full complement of seventy-eight men
and three officers with a waiting list
of eight applicants for membership.
Captain Boykin states that the
Camden unit is anxious4 to Join the
other state guard units in possessing
a new armory building. It is an interesting
fact that Company M is one
of a very few military units in the
state not having a modem home. The
Captain states that the movement to
pecure a new armory has not been
abandoned.
Company M would like to have the
general public attend the drill sessions
and note the changes that have
taken place in the program of instruction.
The old close order formations
have been discharged and the new
system provides for a more extended
formation.
