And the grid season fades Into history.
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.

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.

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

A big crowd braved the drizzle to

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.
