Just a suggestion to the tail chap
who handles the timedenotor at the
football guinea here. Why not stand
10 one side of the stick and let the
spectators know whether it spoils a
Mist, second, third or fourth down.
You're no gluss panel by any means,
my boy.
?
Some of the football bugs would
like to see Camden and Sumter meet!
in a post-season game on JDecmebor
8, but from all we hear the Sumter
group prefer to rest upon the honors
procured by that 6 to U win over the
bulldogs.
The victory of the Kaleigh Caps
over the Columbia Caps last Friday
night was received with considerable
glee ityCamden. Seems that the Palmetto
state capital buddies have built
up a wall of mistrust and unfriendliness
from many directions. And some
of tbe officiating that has featured the
Melton held bruwls has smelled powerful
bad,
? ?
The coach of the Charlotte Central
high team cut loose with some nice
chatter about the officiating that was
in evidence lu the Columbia-Charlotte
game. We heard the same from many
who saw the game, and we take
it that Columbia won that game by
tho grace of some questional decisions.
That Camden-Orangeburg game otr
last Friday night carried all kinds of!
football In the sixty minutes the ]
boys were frisking about in the neari
freezing temperature. The fans sure
got an eyeful of good, bad and Indifferent
football.
By the way, you fans, what is the
trouble that so many of you have
been sticking around where the home
fires burn rather than rattle out to
the stadium to cheer the kids. No
matter from what angle you view the
1939 Bulldog machine the fact remains
that the team has lost but one
game, that to Sumter by a 6 to 0
score^ The team has scored 119
points as against 12 registered by opponents.
That Is a record any team
may be well proud of.
But for some reason or other the
:eam of 1939 is not getting the support
that was given the 1938 edition.
Frankly, I think the stay-aways are
showing punk sportsmanship.
*
That Orangeburg laddie who made
that two-yard punt when he kicked
the pigskin over the grandstand, was
bewildered by the pork pie hat display
and especially the cute little
kelly with the feather in It.
Oh hum,, tonight*it will be Hartsville
and next Friday may be an open
date. We hope not. Gaffney comes
on turkey day, November 23. Despite
the fact that this Gaffney team of
1939 has been taking It on the chin
his season, the game will attract a
bin holiday crowd to Zemp stadium.
Announcement of the building of a
:o w store for the Belk company, featuring
a modern front, will be receivd
with much Interest by Camden
p-ople who like to see the business
.istrict take on a metropolitan ap-j
it-am e. Wonder why some of the
'!mr stores in Cainden with fronts
reminiscent of ante-bellum days, don t
- ; wise and go modern.
?
Folks who have been using Don
Morrison's rat poison to eliminate th.e
rodents on their premises declare it
produces fine restrlts. Which causes
in- to echo Tom Hamrick of York\
HU> suggests someone send a cartad
to Germany for Adolph and his
- ang to dine on. Tom Bays probably
he poison is for rats and would not
affect skunks.
Anyway we are beginning to believe
that Mr. Hamrick is a little bit
prejudiced against Mrs. Hitler's boy,
Dolphie".
George Griffith, sixteen year old
Charleston high school football player
was confined in a Sumter hospital
with a brttln concussion, received in
a riot following the Sumter-Chariestou
game -Friday night.
* t ?
According to the Sumter account,
the cause- of the fight and riot was
laid at the door of a Charleston player.
while Charleston says nix?that it
was due . to a Sumter attack.
o
The battle started right after the
final whistle had sounded. Sumter
claims a Charleston player took ft
crac k lit a Sumter player and when
tho Suthter player retaliated, two other
Charleston players Jumped Into
the fray and piled upon the Oamecock
boy. That war the signal for other
pLayers and spectators to Join in the
battle. Prompt work by officials and
police ended the fight.

GRIDDER LOSES LEFT LEG AS '
RESULT OF FOOTBALL INJURY
Princeton, N, J., Nov. 4.?Harvard
met Princeton In the renewal of a
traditional football rivalry today but
the thoughts of 40,000 spectators
strayed toward Princeton hospital
and husky Donald G. (Hooker) Herring.
Tight-lipped teammates of the sixfoot,
five-inch tackle who lost his left
leg as a result of an Injury received
in last Saturday's Brown game were
determined to win this one for "the.
Hooker."
4 Their sentiments were echoed by
an editorial in "The Dally Prlncetonian,"
undergraduate newspaper,
which remarked "it would be pretty
nice if Captain Bob Tlerney and hsi
men could go out and win today's
game "
Herring's leg was amputated above
the kneecap yesterday, ending the
athletic career of the 21-year-old Junior
who, in addition to being a capable
gridder, was considered a likely
Olympic prospect in the discus.

Game at Kershaw Today
Football fans of Kershaw will have;
tho opportunity Friday. November 10. J
of seeing one of the best games of
the season - when the strong Clover^
team invades the Kershaw high field
at 3:30. j
Clover has lost only one game this
season, that being to Winnsboro by j
the score of 13 to 14 last Friday for,
the Catawba district class B championship.
Kershaw's record consists
of two defeats and four victories.
President Roosevelt estimates that
it would cogt 1275,000,000 to safe-j
guard and enforce American neutrality
during the first ten months of the
European war. He told reporters
that this sum would be asked of
congress as a deficiency appropriation
in January. This strengthened
the belief of some officials that the
total national defense appropriation
for the next session would exceed
$2,000,000,000.
Taxi-driver R. A. Stone of Knoxville.
Tenn., was robbed of his car
and clothes and tied to a tree in nearfreezing
temperature. He freed himself,
sought aid at a nearby house
and was chased home by two dogs.
"But", chirped optimist Stone, "I
sure was lucky. I changed into my
long underwear t,he day before and If
it hadn't been for these longiea I
would have been a goner."
Hope of Peace
Crushed In Europe
My Klrke L. Simpson
Washington, Nov. 4.?Autumn has
wovon again its gorgeous garland of!
remembrance for America's Unknown
Soldier amid the quiet hills of \'|r.
ginta where he sleeps, aloof in the
majesty of his sacrifice.
ihtough the marchiag years since
that Armistice day eighteen years ago
when ho wua laid to rest with all the
reverence a war-weary nut ion could
devise to do him honor, his countrymen
have made a shrine of that tomb.
Great folk und small have beaten
their own path to it. They came in
the thousands, year by year, not only
in homage to his valor and that of
American World-war deud wherever
they sleep; but also in the yearning
hope that these dead had not died in
vain, that a day of lasting peace for
a world done with war at lust had
dawned.
It was not to be. Just twenty-one
years from the first Armistice day
that stilled the guns in France where
this nameless American fell, another
Armistice day finds them thundering
again in sullen wrath.
A new generation of the youth and
valor of France, of England and of
Germany is marshaled for u more
dreadful war. Us legions are mustering
and its guns are echoing among
the battlefields, still deep-scarred by
the havoc of the old war that was to
end wars, where the Unknown Soldier
and a host of comrades were maimed
or died?Ui vain.
Around the bier of the American i
Unknown eighteen years ago,vying to
do him honor, clustered a company of
great men of the world such as rarely
has assembled in any age. Nearly
all the highest command which led
to victory in the World war were
there?the generals and the admirals.
With them wfere many of the world's
leaders in statesmanship. No mighty
monarch of history ever drew more
of the pomp and circumstance of
greatness to witness his entombment.
Foch of France, generalissimo of
the victory, was there. Beatty, who
led Britain's lean, gray battle cruisers
into action to test the mastery of
the North sea that is again at stake
in another war, was there. Jacques
of Belgium, deeply stirred by the high
emotionalism of the scene, ripped a
valor medal from his own breast to
lay it above the valiant, still heart of
the Unknown. Diaz of Italy paid his
tribute to a dead comrade in arms.
Prince Lubomlrski, minister in
Washington of the war-torn Polish
republic that now is a war refugee In
France, a government without a country
laid the Polish Virtuti Militari on J
the Unknown's casket. Doctor Stepaner,
of the war-created Czechoslovak
republic?now destroyed?placed
the valor token of his country
beside the others.
Pershing of the A. E. F., trim and
soldierly, stood a moment in grave
salute to this Unknown hero of the
legions he led in France. Woodrow
Wilson, America's war president,
dragged himself from a sick bed to
ride in the funeral train. His successor.
Warren G. Harding, at whose
call so many world leaders were to
rally.soon to talk in high hope of
ending war forever, trudged afoot behind
the gun carriage that bore the
Unknown's casket.
Brland of France was there. Briand
who in a little while would share
with an American peace advocate.
Secretary Kellogg, sponsorship of tho
world's fi 1*81 universal treaty. That
ir?-aty was designed, futilely, to outlaw
wars of aggression. Balfour of
England was there, too. On the morrow
lie would throw British prestige
into the scales for curbing battleship
rivalries in both the Atlantic and the
i'acitic as America proposed; but
would balk at dropping England's
guard against the U-boats that again
today are roving the North sea.
Many of those towering figures in
World war history are dead now.
They have gone on to join the innumerable
army of World war dead over
whose graves the war-panoplied
youth of another generation is marching
this Armistice day to keep Its
own rendezvous with death. But
while the written records of mankind
survive, the names of many of those
gathered in the memorial amphitheater
in Arlington cemetery that Armistice
day, 1921, to honor America's
Unknown will live in history.
Their presence, and the reasons
that called them across wide seas to
conference, lent a meaning to that
Armistice day of eighteen years ago
even deeper than the high tide of patriotic
fervor that brought a nation
to a momentary halt in reverent tribute
to a son who had lost both life
and name for the flag.
An the Unknown ended his long
Journey from France in the tomb
around which army comrades of a
younger generation still keep their
Impressive vigil, the atmosphere of
his entombment was surcharged more
with hope than sorrow, hope of world
peace.
It was not only the solemn ritual
that stirred then the heart of the
, I ,
nation and touched responsive chorda
around tho world. On the morroto
the arms conference would meet. On
It centered the hope* of many peoples.
sickened with the slaughter ofi
four terrible years of war. 1
No man could then forsee it; butj
| from the hour the conference nsaem[
Med next day world peace hopes bogun
to wane. Tho long, tragic road
I to Munich, to Prague, to bomb-battered
Warsaw all unknowingly opened
before the world then. No peace!
or understanding In Europe was pos-j
slble, only u security guarded by huge
armies. 1
Now brazen-throatt<d war bugles are
blowing again "over there", as once
they blew to summon the Unknown
Soldier to his death in France. Their
distant clamour Invades even the
peaceful quiet of his resting place with
haunting doubts of what this new
war may protend, with dread that it,
too. may reach Into American fireside
groups for victims despite everything
a nutlon still dedicated to peace can
do to avert that fate.
Yet for the Unknown Soldier?and
for the American World war comrades
who cluster about him in evorgrowing
numbers year by year as the
long, ordered rows of white headstones
read away farther and farther
across the quiet grass slopes
of Arlington cemetery?there will be
no reveille until the last trump calls
mankind to the Judgment seat. They
have kept the faith. They have
served nor been found wanting. They
have earned their' rest.
It is their Bons and their sons' sons
who keep that faith today against the
shock of a new war in Europe, not
the men of the lost generation of
tho World war. And tho heritage of
their fathers' valor, symbolized by
that simple, massive block of stone
under which the Unknown Soldier
sleeps, is held high in the hearts of
Americans who again hear the guns
of war rumbling hatefully across the
seas. j
