Minnesota who slops Into tho limelight
as iIn- nation's loading football
toam For The Gophers overcame- a
13 to 0 load taken by Wisconsin and
llnlshod the season with an unbroken
record.
?
t'p In Fenway park In Boston. the
Boston College learn huudud Auburn
a 33 to 7 win. Wonder what llurke
l)avls, Charlotte News sport od will
have to say about that, for believe it
or not llurke picked Auburn.
Pennsylvania nosed out the IB'd
Haldol's ot Cornell 22 to 2u in a ding
dong scrap. As Point had gone down
before Tommy Harmon and his
Wolverines eutiler In the season, the
Quakers cannot make any title claim
However I here was plenty of glory In
upsetting the It It lea powerhouse.
* ? ?
Florida won out over Georgia Tech
lt> to 7. but there was small glory In
It as the Atlanta lads huve been kicked
tdl over the lot this season. Clemson
won over a fighting Purman team
13 to 7 by getting the breaks.
?
In tho mid west Northwestern handed
Notre Dame a 20 to 0 defeat and
plastered a "Just another team" label!
on tho Irish.
?
Tennessee spanked a weak Kentucky
outfit 33 to 0. While the Vols
may get some kind of a bowl Invite,
their broaLher schedule hardly ontitles
them to consideration. Some of
the big tlmo sport writers are
caustically suggesting that the Vols
go out and plok on someone their size.
*
Well, you'll hear a lot of bowl stuff'
from now on. Out on the western
coast the sport writers and fans are
clamoring for Stanford to tuko on i
Minnesota. Tills Is hardly possible
however as tho Big Ten has taken a'
definite stand against post-season
games. So unless the bosses relent.!
?it 1. 1 ?
Stanford will have to pick some lesser
I Important team. v
?
Wo Invited the Kliigstroe^ and
Olympia High team to play tho It title
game hero In Camden but they selected
Shim tor. Jack NoiUom and some
of tho local gang Jaunted to Darling*
ton tho other night to see Klngslree
wallop Cheruw and say the Kingstreo
outfit Is one Mwect team.
* ?
Ituinor has It that Paddy Driscoll Is
through at Marquette. And wo are
willing to make a hot that Frank
Murray will got tho gttto at Virginia.
? t ?
Frank Murray preceded Drincol) at
Marquette and coached at the
Catholic varsity for about lt> years If
our memory Korves us right. Murray
turned out aoine good teams and his
outfit with Hay liulvld, all American,
and the two Guepo boys was a Hose
Howl prospect. Murray has not done
ho w<!)l at Virginia and Drlscoll has
'been a failure at Marquette.
? * *
If you are interested, wo might
mention that one Camden Bulldog,
Jim Mc('ask!ll, 1K0 pound back, was
selected to play with the all-star South
Carolina high school team in the aumini
Shrine gumo at Charlotte next
month. Charleston placed 2. Florence
2, Hock 1(111 2. Kingstreo 1, Spartan*
burg 2, Columbia 2, Greenville 2.
Sumter 2, Barker I, Clinton 1, Orangeburg
1 and North Charleston 1.
The selection of players was made
by the coaches from Greenville, Sumter,
Hock Hill, Charleston, Anderson
and Spartanburg.
?
Those Green Bay Packers, many
tlmea winner of the National Football
Championship, really got hot Sunday
and whaled the daylights out of the
Detroit Tigers f>0 to 7. The New
York Giants trounced the Washington
Redskins 21 to 7, which was a real
upset. Tho Chicago Bears kept up In
| tho running for the title by spanking
the Cleveland Rams 47 to 25. The
I Brooklyn Dodgers found the lowly
(Chicago Cardinals tough picking and
nosed out 14 to 9.
I * * *
The title game between the Eastern
and Western divisions of the pro J
league will bo between Jeither the
Boars or PdCkflrs In the West and tho
Redskins In the EaBt. See If I'm
right. i
j Speaking of the bowl situation
again, we look for Boston or. Texas A
and M to get the nod for the Rose
| Bowl. While Stanford seems to have
tin? coast defease of the bowl game
cinched they still have to get by a
lighting California outfit. Stub Allison
of the Golden Bears is banking on
an upset in the game with Stanford,
but even should the Bears win , we
look for the Stanford gang to get the
bowl assignment.
?
Texas A and M draws a tough one
in Texas this week and while we
favor the Aggies, do not be surprised
if there is an upsot. s #
PUNITIVE DAMAGES
, V - - *
It huii been established beyond a
<inoHtion of argument that industrial'
lata outside of South Carolina have
refused to consider locating plants In
this state because of the discriminatory
doctrine of punitive damage
existing. ,
Sudler love covers the situation tn
u recent editorial when ho says:
"The 1 i?40 (leueral AHaeiubly took a
long stop fbrward by providing for
the removal of the intangibles tax,
ho ill removal effective at the end of
this year. The coining session of vhe
legislature lias 'bofuro It a splendid"
opportunity for service if it will take
constructive steps toward the abolishing
or the restructlng of tho punitive
I damage practico.
"In theory, the doctrine of punitive
damages Is evidently designed as a
sort of "spanking" device.- A visitor
to un industrial plant fulls on the
stairs of the plant, suffers a broken
leg. receives full and Just cumpens&
tton for ids Injury, uml then the
defendant is punished with an
addltonul punitive award of perhaps
several thousand dollars. To the layman,
looking at it in a practical light,
it simply does not make sentft.
Certainly most of us are agreed that
an Injured person should have every
right to sue one whose carelessness
has caused his injury," but on the
other hand it is difficult to understand
the fairness of a verdict whereby a
plaintiff may bo awarded, say, seven
cents "real" damages and fifty or a
hundred dollars "puftltive" damages.
"Textile plants, and other industries
included under the Workmen's Compensation
Act, ure not greatly effected
by the doctrine, but many other
companies as well as many individuals
are. The evidence points to the fact
that local juries often discriminate
against corporations and that this
state's doctrine of punitive damages
is a deterrent to progress. The 19411
(reneral Assembly has an opportunity
to place South Carolina In a much
more favorable light."

CHILDREN'S THEATRE FOUNDER |
QIVES SUCCESS TO 8PONSOR,
'
Declaring that "f?w worthwhile and,
enduring things In life have ever t>een i
I hullt Independently", Clare Tree I
! Major, dean of the Children's Theatre
of New York today paid public tribute
to I'arent-Teucher Associations, club
women, the props and numerous prominent
Individuals, for their seventeen
years loyal support of her once disputed
theories of education through
entertainment.
In her statement, the dynamic
founder and director of the nationally*
known, uon profit, pluy producing
organisation who, during the last seventeen
years, through the medium of
the stage, has brought the classics of
children's literature to millions
American youngsters, stressed the
fact that seventeen years ago, her
original Ideas of Juvenile entertainment
were regarded by reactionaries
as somewhat radical. In attributing
i lie phenomenal growth of the
Children's Theatre to the support of
her many sponsors and patrons, Mrs.
Major said:
"For seventeen years, my sponsors
and tho press have displayed a consistent
and unwavering fuith and loyalty
and a profoundly sympathetic
appreciation' of the seemingly Idealistic
goals I sought to reach. These
human factors, plus vision, aro accountable
for the ultimate attainment
of our mutual alms.
"Chief among our objectives has
been the determination to give every
child In America, Irrespective of
creed, color or circumstances, an
equal opportunity to expand and
develop under the magic influence of
tho world's finest Juvenile literature,
adapted to the stage.
"In the past seventeen years, wo
have brought hundreds of thoughtprovoking.
classic plays to millions of
American boys and girls In every
section of the country. We have
Btirred their embryo Imaginations. We
have fed them en the fables, fantasies,
and fairy tales which they instinctively
crave but are starved for In this
century of super-realism. We have
weaned many of them from wild-west
talkies and accustomed them to cultural
entertainment which encoiirages
original and lndepdent thinking. This
never could have been accomplished
without the vision and support of
parents and educators, civic and
social workers and the press of the
nation."
Mrs. Major recollected that only
eleven years ago l)er traveling theatre
consisted of but one acting company
performing six plays In a very limited
territory.
"At that time, one truck and one
touring cdr transported actors,
scenery, costumes and properties.
Today, our six troupes of professional
players travel the length and breadth
of the land."
Lhst year alone, Mrs. Major's colorful
caravan consisting of 12 trucks
and touring cars covered 247 *40
miles. Her six professional adult acting
companies performed six juvenile
masterpieces before a combined audience
of 1.21S.OUO children in 328 American
cities and towns in man) of
which ait six days were given.
This year, the children of Camden
and Kershaw county will see the
gifted actor's of the Children's Theatre
in Mrs. Major's new dramatization
of "Seven Wishes" at tho grammar
school auditorium. December 6. The
plays will be presented under the auspices
of the Junior Welfare Dengue.
COURT STRIKES OUT
MAN IN DEATH SENTENCE
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 20?Noah Cureton
was called 'out" on three strikes
today, in a game of life and death.
Cureton whs convicted in Charlotte
recently of first-degree murder, in
connection with the shooting of a man
following an argument about a card
game. The sentence: Death.
The North Carolina supreme court
today declined to grant him a new
trial.
"It appears from the testimony of
the defendant that this is the third
time that he has used his pistol in
difficulties with other men." Associate
Justice J. Wallace Wlnborne wrote.
"Unfortunately for him, this seems
to be the third strike?and out."

THE GERMAN8 WON'T GET
HUNGRY THIS WINTER
?Herr Hitler has been mighty fair
in his distribution of the foodstuffs in
the conquered countries. All of this
goes to prove that, after all, Hitler
has a heart.
?Take, for instance. Hitler's plan in
apportioning the food supplies he
captured in Holland: it worked something
like this: featuring a Dutch
cow. for instance: Hitler gave the
horns and the front hoofs, and hairy
end of the tail, and part of the hui.'.
to the Dutch people, and the balance
of the cow became German property.
i
?In Belgium, it operated in this wise
the Germans took the wheat and the
the Belgians got the chaff and part of
the straw. The Belgians got the potato
peelings and the Germans took
the i>otatoes. When it came to the
swino stocks, the Belgians got the
chitterlings (mebbe), the Germans got
the pork. . . The chickens were divided
in this manner: - the feathers,
the left foot, the neck, and the gizzard
contents went to the Belgians
and the Germans got the rest.
%?
?It was different in Denmark and
Norway. There the natives got the
fish scales and the fish innards and
the Germans got the fish. The Germans
took the milch cows and left the
calves with the owners. The natives <
also got the smell and the Germans ;
got the goats. It was somewhat different
with the Poles. In Poland, the i
Germans took all of the food and also
took the Poles, that is?all of those
that were able to work. They were '
kind enough to leave the halt, the
dumb, and the old aged behind; all, of
course, without food. After consider'
ing all of those gracious acts. Hitler
alnt so bad, Is he? Yep, Hitler's the
man some folks would have us join up
with.
