What happened nt Hock Hill Is known to all of you. It was a moral victory for the Bulldogs. They were rated as being certain losers and they held a good heavy team to a scoreless tie. Ami was Hock Hill lucky. Twice did the Bulldogs have the ball down on tihe four yard -stripe. But for a series of vital mishaps,.* styled In football parlance?bad breaks?wo would have won. Tonight we take on Darlington and so far as 'this department is concern* ml?the game is in the bag for the Bulldogs. _ Next week folks whisper it. next week brings the Sumter (jamecocks, our traditional and most deadly rivals.

At the Monroe game, we conn-ted exactly thirty-seven kids sitting along the west side lines near the Camden dugout. We wonder just what would happen if some i lay should send a group of football warriors out of bound a at this poLnt and some of those kids got hurt. ? # ? Better keep the youngsters back of the fence and out of danger. The field is for players, reserves, officials and news hounds. Legion Would Aid English Empire Boston .

The Legion advocated strict neutrality at its convention last year. The veterans' recommendation for strengthening ;t<he United States' armed forces far beyond the nation's present expansion program, greatest In Its history, and at the same time called for legislation to provide for strict supervision over aliens and for elimination of "subversive" activities. The 1,400-odd delegates, representing more than a million former service men, urged creation of a permanent system of universal military training, itnd increases in the personnel of the iriny, navy, Air corps and merchant marine,...The, National Guard and -TheIt. O. T. C. In a long-range program growing out'of the war* abroad and prepared ness plans at home, the soldiers of two decades ago urged acquisition of ad dltlonal bases for naval expansion, and Indorsed "the principle of exchanging obsolete equipment for needed air and naval bases." Universal finger-printing of all clt-i |/.ens was recommended, along with legislation to prevent members of the 1 Communtst party, the German-American Bund and "other foreign subversive groups" frpm holding either elective or appointive public office. One resolution urged immediate deportation of Harry Bridges, west coast labor leader. While Boston returned to normalcy after entertaining the biggest parade crowd in its history yeetedray,'" the delegates picked Milwaukee as the scene for their national convention hi 1941 after receiving assurances that a purse of $120,000 had been raised for expenses. Kansas City also bid for the convention. ?Earlier. W 1111am Green?president -of- the American Federation of Labor, drew cheers, from the convention as he called for unity in action in combating "isms" and building the nation's defense. Action on the mass of resolutions came without a word of discussion as the delegates adopted without a single dissenting voice the recommendations ' of its committees on Americanization and national defense. "ir fighting is necessary to defend the. United States." the national defense opuiuiHtee said, as it offered its recommendations, "we insist upon being prepared to do the fighting outside of the United States." Fortifications of Guam; an "impregnable" defense of Panama Canal and Uie approaches; removal of the "mediocre and incompetent" from leaderphi p of United States armed forces and creation of reserves and munitions, tanks and planes to implement an army of 2.200.0(10 were demanded by tile Legion.
