Bulldogs Show Class |
In Winning 27 to o!
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.
