Pigskin Parade
(By The Skipper)
One bit of news that wasn't a glnd(
surprise was tho score of the Camion-j
Augusta game last Friday night. Our
tads played a bang-up game but ?heyj
wer? toppled by a clover Richmond
Academy team 13 to <>.
Outstanding feature of the game 1
am toltl was a long but fruitless run
b> Smiling Charley McCaaklll.
The Hull dogs jaunted to Gaffnoyi
yesterday and wore given a tine woicoine
by the Gaffnoy folks. The Camdon
' band accompanied the team, as
did several score of Camden fans and
u good time was had by all. J
* *
Speaking of the national football
picture, the Notre Dutuo lads finally
met their Waterloo and It was the
lowly Iowa varsity team, one of the
underdogs of the Hlg Ton conference
that turned the trick. And so the
Catholics have faded out of the
natiouul picture,
? * *
Minnesota rated as the nation's No.
1 grid machine, swept like a tornado
over a luckless Purdue outfit. Boston
College, another powerhouse stopped
the throo year winning streak of
Georgetown 19 to 18. Pennsylvania
came back to hand Army one of Its
worst defouts in years, tho score
being 48 to 0.
* *
Cornell defeated Dartmouth 7 to 3,
but It may develop that because of tho
touchdown coming on an alleged fifth
down, that the Hod Haiders will have]
their score tossed out which would
give Dartmouth tho game 3 to 0.
*
,Texas A. and M. rolled onward
twoard a bowl job New Years by whaling
Illce 25 to 0. Stanford cinched tho
west coast defense of the hrose Bowl
honors by spanking Oregon State 28
to 14.
* ?
Clem son sank deeper Into the mire
by being held to a 12-12 tie by Southwestern
of Tennessee. And the
Tigers woro lucky they did not take a
trimming.
* ?
Tlio biggest upset around these digings
was the 6 to 3 defeat handed
Duke by North Carolina. L. S. U.
gave Auburn a football lesson whllo
Alabama nosed out Georgia Tech 14
to 13. ?
v.
Michigan bounded buck from the
Mlnncaota defeat and whaled North
western 20 to 13. Wisconsin defeated
Indiana 27 to 10 and Marquette upset
the dope and caused tho HM hopper
fans In Milwaukee to paint tho town
red by nosing out a favored Michigan
State team 7 to 6.

Great Aunt J^mlnla, I can just
picture the Marquel^e lads and lassies
parading down Wisconsin avonue In
snake formation celebrating the homecoming
victory.

AN IQNORAMU8 VISIT? THE
GIGANTIC 8ANTEE-COOPER
(Editorial Correspondent)
I have revived several kind and
pressing Invitations from Mr. and Mn?.
I ong worth Prlckett (the latter a niece
of the wTlter) to come down to see the
S?utee-(HK>per scheme to date. He
has a responsible job thereon. Thursday
morning we steamed up for the
trip. Our cavalcade consisted of Mrs.
Julia Antley, grandmother of Mrs.
Prickett, Ml?s Myrtle Droher, a sister,,
Mrs. R E, Mat ha is, of Irmo, aunt, the!
madam and myself. j
From Holly HIR, we tlrst motored
to Butaw Springs, where w^ got the
ftrtt view of slaughtered trees for the
project. Unfortunately the springs
near the scepe of a famous Revolutionary
War battle will soon be buried
under the waters of the Plnopolls
basin.
At WDson's Landing nearby, the
famous earth dam make? its appearance
where a diversion canal le being
dug to carry the waters from the
Santee river to the Plnopolls. basin.
The first Indication in the distance
was an immense crane which seems
to extend half way to the sky and 6aid
to have cost about 17 thousand dollars.
It swings the dirt and whatever
stumps intervene to the top of
the dam. ?We
tarried- for a splendid dinner in
one of the many camps, presided over
by Dan Ellis, a handsome and delightful
young fellow. Everything was
neat as a pin and the variety of grub
well cooked. We drove through much
of the proposed Plnopolls basin which
is to cover ubout 160 thousand acre?.
It Is said that vandals in ancient times
plowing the sacred lands near Delphi
cause<l a bloody war. The Invasion
of this territory caused no war but several
lawsuits. We passed through
much of the Cain property Involved In
this litigation. As far as we went
lands are uninviting. Little evidences
lands rae uninviting. Little evidences
of -fanning or crops and most of the
timber slaughtered. We saw no signs
of those fine old ancestral homes
about which we are still reading. If
the scattered poulation can bo
rehabilitated in new homes, I think
most of them are lucky to escape with
the money allowed for their old holdings.
I saw .the project in its early stage
when nothing was to be seen but seme
tractor ploughing in the foundation of
the power house and a short dam
nearby. Hence, when we reached this
j>olnt I didn't recognize It from Adam's
house cat. A viewing structure has
been built that loks out on a beautiful
scene. It is now a comfortable building
with rest rooms, benches for the
tired, and a section for soft drinks,
smokes, and knick-knacks. This is
the heart of the works. Here is to be
"the navigation lock connecting the
Plnopolls lake with the tall canal.
There are already two huge buildings
of concrete material with a large concrete
plant near.
Some <>f the machinery ami concomitants
baffo description. One of
the- machines has a rubber tire which,
we are told, cbst 1S00 dollars.
There is a spacious automobile parking
ground.
The Santee lake will cover an area
of 75 thousand acres, and the Plnopolls,
over 60 thousand.
The drainage area Involved in the
whole project will be over a million
acres. When we returned to Holl>
Hill it was found that wo had travelled
about 250 miles.?The Calhoun
Times.
This is just a running sketch, ol
course, but wonderfully Informative,
as Longworth Prickett Is remarkably
well posted on details. At present
there are 9.260 on the payroll.
From all I had hoard the line of
Hamlet frequently appeared: "In my
mind's eye Horatio."
This gigantic business, when finished,
must be left to the imagination.
The estimated cost is 41 million dollars.
It will probably run to 50 million.
Though an economist I have always
favored it. I will not say, as
Ben Tillman once did, that "while
the stealing was going on he wanted
our share." Necessarily, there has
been great waste, and mayhap some
stealing but that is enevitable. The
upcountry has bean getting all the
plants and the low country needed
this as a balance whe?l. I do not
shed tears over its prospect of being
about as big as the others put together
Charleston city and county will
be greatly -blessed. A huge Federal
hospital near the city is now on the
tapis. It has a navy yard. Taxes, as
we are told, will bo greatly Increased.
Naturally so, but Charleston gets the
gravy along with the taxes. Suppose
we bust as many say, and as I fear,
this great project has gone too far now
to fall by the wayside. Every once
in a while, on this Jaunt, we ran
across the remnantA of the old canal
that was completed In 1800 at the
cost of 750 thousand dollars. Its
length was 22 miles and extended
from the Santee to the Cooiier river*
but new railroads put It out of business.
But railroads and boats can't
kill electricity, and for that reason
the present Sairtee-Cooper scheme will
survive. Should our great "AJax Tele.
