The Camden Bulldogs defeated Orangeburg at the Zemp stadium Friday 11 Ikt by a score of 27 to 0. Behind that bar? set of figures lay about everything that could be crammed into a football game. Good, comic and scintillating football, fumbluH, Intercepted passes, a punt over the grand stand, short pokes, long runs and beautiful passing. It till formed a glittering exciting episode which caused the Camden contingent of fans to go plainly and deliberately nuts with Joy, for it put up the flag that meant the Bulldogs were on the rampage again, aftor weeks of faltering and stumbling play. The crowd numbered about seven hundred, fur l>elow the figure that was expected when Camden and Orangeburg squads quarrel under the lights. It was a perfect night for football, the air being crisp and snappy, niak! ing overcoats and blankets real assets for comfort. The fast alert menu j that was dished up by the Camden warriors following a give and take first quarter will probably mean Camdun. f>U)9.. .WJ J.L .UAnJ,.,S.UJLXf,i Ali, t,le same gusto and numbers as they did for that fine 1938 championship Bqund. The crowd Friday night anticipated a close hard fought battle and after a dlug dong first quarter with Camden .crowding the visitors all of the time, the bleachers sat back and visioned another clos^ tilt. Even the officials, following the end of the first half when Camden led 7 to 0 expressed the opinion that the game would be close. To all Intents headed for a narrowmargined win, the golden-shlrted valiants of John Villepigue came back in the third quarter to strike with electrifying long-gainers by Cox, Bell and Bundrlck and concluding with a beautiful thirty yard pasB from Bell to Cox raced into pay roll territory. | A pass, Bell to Bundrlck added the extra point. | The fireworks really exploded in the final period when two more touch(downs with a conversion on one raised the Bulldog total to 27. The first fcame Just after the quarter opened , when Cox hurled a long pass to , Bundrlck who put up a swell exhlbij tlon of cinder path work to score. A i pass, for the extra point fell incom! plete. j About this time Coach Villepigue j was pouring his reserves into the fray and in the closing minutes of the ! game almost complete B group were (staging a beautiful fight to stave off ' the only threat of the gamo for the visitors. And they did a noble Job, shoving a fighting Orangeburg outfit for a loss on three efforts to break through following a long pass that gave the visitors. the ball on the Camden 20. Then the yearlings took over and were marching down Into Orangeburg territory when the gun sounded the end of the rout. Among the Bulldogs lustrous performers were Bundrlck, who lifted the crowd out of Its seats by his fine exhibition of twisting, dodging, leaping and running; Cox with some fine ground work and passing and Bell for some good gains on the ground and over the air waves, Camden made thirteen first downs to four recorded by the visitors. The | visitors were outclassed by the Bull! dogs in every department of the game i and their play become erratic. In one instance a kick on a fourth down went over the grandstand and the actual distance traveled as measured by the stick was two yards. C&pwibn plays Hartsvllle tonight and on the pKrformaifcee ad'far offered j by the two teams, the game should I go to Camden by a comfortable rriar| kin.
