The Camden Bulldogs closed their 1939 ramble by taking one of the worst llck[hgs administered a local team In years?Charleston win nlng 25 to 0. Yet. the record of the 1939 team Is a good ane. Out of eleven games the Bulldogs won seven and that Is a swell Job in any football circles. m m m ? Otjhe four defeats there was only one that was decisive enough to blow away the smoke of breaks being a "* " ------ ( factor. That was the game over on the soacoaat last week. So far as the defeat meted out by Sumter, Hock Hill and Gaffney?they were of that type when luck, breaks or what-haveyou decide the issue. 4 9 9 The defeat of Florence by Sumter would in our humble opinion stamp the Sumter Gamecocks as being in line for state title honors, but this title progagauda smacks of being! silly. Personally wo believe Parker high could take the Gamecocks. # Columbia mumbles something along the championship line, but inasmuch' as Columbia nosed out Sumter early in the season before the Gamecocks hit their stride and the Gamecocks later whaled the daylights out of| Charleston, who in turn smacked Co-j lumbia, well?we just hand the honors for this part of the Palmetto commonwealth to the boys from the chenille spread hamlet. * The Mather Academy Blue Eagles wearing Bulldog colors went down before a smart Vortices gang at ftatiip Stadium last Friday night HJ to 12. A big crowd braved the drizzle to Jam the grandstand and lift the r tot with their cheers The Mather team went down witji colors fixing as they put up a swell brand of footbull. * Well, we learned something last Thursday night We discovered a fact that Is not recorded In any book of history namely, that the lovely Cleopatra, the exquisite feminine creation who entranced Mark Anthony to the extent that Mark left home and board for her?wus a piker Yea slr-e-e-e. a mere piker and we learned it from none other thau our mayor, Francis McCorkle. Hizzoner boldy stated this fact when ho posed for the photographers on the stage of the Camden high school auditorium following the beauty contest. And we suspect that the mayor in referring to Miss Cleo as being a piker was actuated by the loveliness of Miss Sarah Gregory, as senior queen and Miss Margaret McDowell as junior queen. And I take it that several hundred | people in tilt) audience at the beauI ty contest will affirm that hizzouer I was 0110 hundred per cent right. O f For the Misses Gregory and McDowell represent Camden beauty at Its best. 1 A cold wind that evidently slur ted near Medicine Hat whore King Boreas holds forth descended on Kirk wood Held Sunday afternoon shortly after tlio start of the polo game and caused I several hundred fans who had braved 1 overcast skies to witness the polo event to shiver and shake. I But at that the crowd was the largest to attend an opening game in years and the boys on the goo gees gave them a nice show, although the play was somewhat ragged and a lot I of the mallet wtelders fanned out re, peatedly. ? * Jimmy Mlnninck. Jr., and Waggoner | of Augusta, drove lip with their ponies and played with the Camden lads. Mlnninck is a swell player and worked all six chukkers. Waggoner went in for Harrison In the fourth for Town. Quite a delegation of regular army officers from Camp Jackson drove over for the game and were interested] spectators.
