Well, I still maintain that Camdeu
the better team. But I also admit
freely that Hock Hill had It on us in
kicking and passing.
* <
By the way, mebhe I'm wrong, but
1 didn't think the officiating was so
hot.
*
The official box office record
shows the crowd at the game was almost
double the attendance of the
previous high mark of the season.
Which Is of gratification to the Camden
News Service.
* ? *
We extend o^uy sincere thanks to
Abe Fennell of the Columbia State,
who gave freely of his newspaper
space to ballhoo the "natural" of the
season.
*
Bundrick's 80 yard run for a touchdown
was the high light of the game.
But-while wo are distributing the
merit badges?just a word about this
hoy Ferguson of Hock Hill. He'll bo
heard from as an outstanding member
of some college Bquad later.

Camden's kicking game was badly
off while pass reception was in the
doldrums.
*
Camden and Rock Hill players;
struggling for the ball after the finalj
guu caused some of the fans to vault j
the fence and rush out on the field,:
thinking a fight was in progress.
As we have watched the parade of,
high school bands over the turf at,
Zemp stadium?Chester, Orangeburg,j
Hartsville and Hock Hill?we look.
forward to seeing the Camden high I
school music-makers strutting their
stuff and tooting martial airs next
season.
J
And we might add that the organization
of the Camden band is progressing
nicely.
Of all the bands we have seen in
Camden this year, the Lancaster and
Hartsville offered the most attractive
uniforms. From a standpoint of musical
skill, the Lancaster band was
lops.
Well. Thursday* was turkey day in
these parts. And in addition to all j
the fixings and trimmings that go^
with the royal bird on the Thanks-]
giving dinner table, Camden fans en-,
joyed a football game at Zemp sta-j
diura. the Bulldogs taking on the Gaffney
high school tean^. As the game
was still in progress when this item
was put in type, we are unable to
give the result.
In thinking bacV*over the Camden
celebrations of armistice day. let us
offer this Just as a thought. We believe
that there should be mord to
ihe armistice day celebration than a
program $t H o'clock. In many communities,
clubs, civic groups, school
i hildren and military units unite in
a parade. If we have a high school
hand next fall, let's show our love
and respect Tor the Legion by having
.i real honest-to-goodness armistice
celebration, arranging a program that
will embrace respect for the heroic
lead and joy because of the end of
; he war.
Cnder an Orangeburg date line last
week appears the following item,
which should have more than ordinary
interest in Camden:
'Orangeburg ? "Plenty of parking
space now," say citizens who have
seen the two main business blocks in
Orangeburg since the city council
changed the parking regulations.
Parking time limit now is one hour.
For some weeks there was no time
limit. During that time, said Police
Chief J. W. Gilliam to city council,
To or more cars belonging to merchants
or their employes were park
led In the two blocks all day."
< The annual drive of the American
Red Cross Is on. Have you a dollar
to spare. If so. Invest in a Red Cross
membership. It pays dividends. Not
..In a quarter of a century has the RedI
Cross needed your help as It does
now.
* * *
If you do not know It, the Red Cross
was organized some seventy-live years
ago by a young man named Henry
Dunaut, a native of Switzerland. Red
Cross does not know race, color,
craed, nationality or political faith.
It was thia Same Dunant, who looking
over the dead and dying on Napolean's
victorious battle field exclaimed.
"Tutti frateli"( all are brothers.)
It was then that he.set out
to care for the French, Austrians and
Italians. The Red Cross symbol was
adopted out of compliment to Dunant
and his native country. I
So please friends, when you see the
Red Cross, just stop to realize that it
symbolizes the ageless neutrality of
humanity.

Bui I Dogs Lose In
Real Thriller, 14-12
Hock .11 ill defeated Camden last
Friday night H to 12. but the blg|
Ilea real record hung ui? a slender
thread In the crisp chill of a mid"Novum
bur night as the Bulldogs, battered
and mauled by the brawny raiders
from up north, came back with a rush
and all but snatched victory In the
closing seconds of a game that was
called by old timers the most thrilling
the sand hill area has seen In
more than a decade.
Trailing 14 to t? as the fourth quarter
was well under way and with the
ball In the Bulldog possession on
thoir own 20, lanky Jim Bundrlck
pulled the throttle wide open and
j carried the mall eighty yards on an
end around double reverse that ended
I when he squatted on the apple In the
pay dirt area.
This was but one of many thrills
that kept the largest crowd of the
season In a state of frenzy from the
opening klckofT to the final gun.
Hock Hill fans came down en masse
and with a tine band occupied almost
the entire east bleachers. On the
home team side the stand was tilled
and hundreds Jammed along the
boundry fence.
Hock Hill won the game through
aerial warfare and the pass work of
these Bearcats was something to
cheer about. In particular the pass
of Lyle to Ferguson In the closing
minutes of the first half,* a loug
arching heave, thut traveled some
thirty yards with Ferguson dancing
along the sidelines to pay dirt, was
a thriller. A plunge through the line
by Davis added the point that put
IKfTfc Hill In the lead at the half, 7
to 6.
The stoutness of the Camden line
and the powerful defense the Bulldogs
had put up against a team that
had the weight of a college or varsity
squad was evidenced by the record
which shows that up to the time
Lyle uncorked his sky apple to Ferguson.
the visitors had made but two
first downs as against four registered
by the Bulldogs.
Fumbles of pasBeB rifled Into the
end zone for extra points on Canij
den touchdowns were costly to the
Bulldogs, representing the margin of
victory when the game ended.
The Camden crowd went wild when
Bundrlck staged his eighty yard gallop
in the fourth quarter, but the
noise was a whisper compared to the
din that rose front the mob when
Camden staged a beautiful and dogged
fight that carried the ball to
within .striking distance of pay dirt
In the waning seconds of the game.
Without detracting from the really
fine play of the Bearcats what breaks
there were during the fracas went
to them. At the end of the first
quarter it was freely admitted by the
ring generals of both teams that the
teams that got got the breaks would
win the classic. And the prediction
was realized.
In our opinion Camden played the
best game it has dished up this season.
True there were muddy spots
and had these been sanded there
would have been a different ending.
But all these features go to make up
a football game.
The spirit of criticism that has been
blowing between the cracks of the
grandstand In other games this season
wa* still as a tomb as the thousands
filed from the stadium to seek
their cars in the fog-like dust that
covered mother earth along the parking
lines. Camden fans were proud
of their team. The boys gave everything
they had but Dame Fortune was
infatuated with the Giants from the
north and so the dl.ee in the game of
breaks, fell against the Bulldogs.

Dead Animals
Winter Hazards
If you Ir1l*an animal or s?'o one
lying dead In the roadway, please no
tlfy tho nearest stale highway patrolman
or maintenance office immediate-'
ly The highway department in unx
ions to remove all such hazards to
drivers as soon as possible.
privet's have reported several in ,
stances lately of hitting dead animals
in the roadway which had not beenj
removed after being killed in an ear-1
lier accident.
Olio motorist stated that a tnulej
killed in a night accident was hit by J
I three drivers before Its presence in
' the highway was reported to the lXopertinent.
"Usually motor vehicle accidents
Involving unimuls do not play a very
large part in our accident problem,"
said Wilbur S. Smith, traffic engineer
of the highwuy depart men t. "Thirtythroe
collisions of this type havo been
reported for (be first nine months of
tiio year, none of which was fatal. In
tiie same period in liKtS two of the
2H animal-vehicle collisions were fatal."
In the winter months, however, |
more collisions with animals are common.
Lust year 44 per cent of accidents
in which vehicles lilt animals
were reported during three months?
October, November and December.
During October and the first part
of November this year few days have
passed without a collision of a car
with an animal. Some of the accidents
caused considerable property
damage, others very little. A number
of mules, cows, and deer have been
killed.
"It is believed that the extraordinary
number of mules and cows killed
on thp highways is due to the fact
that owners of these farm animals
are turning their stock out to run at
large as the harvest is over," said
Mr. Smith. "The state law against
allowing livestock to run loose on the
highways of South Carolina is for tho
protection of the farmer and of tho
motoring public, and this law must bo
obeyed.
"Unless we watit the number and
severity ot accidents caused by enl-,
trials to increase, drivers must alBo do
their part in keeping the roads clear,
of any unusual hazards. Winter driving
is more dangerous than travel in
summer because of the longer periods
of darkness and decreased visibility.
Ik? on the watch for animals
Remember that they are easily blinded
by headlights. And if you see an
animal killed in the roadway, report
1 it immediately to avoid further accidents."
