Cruising Around : with I i "Skipper" ' i While it's a kmg way to the 1941 football aeaBon, the recent announcement of the changes in rule* has been the source of much discussion among Bulldogs fans in Camden. Quite a few of the boys have asked for our opinion and we are taking this opportunity of expressing itihe fact that these changes have not caused us to experience any Increased blood pressure. We are of the opinion that as a whore the changes and new rules will make the game more or leas monotonous, in that it will prolong playing time quite a bit. That will be due to the rule which permits of free substitutions throughout the game. The allowing of tly> ball to be handed forward behind the line of scrimmage will moan that reverses will be mode simpler. In our opinion the rule changes will help the offensive team, and especially do we refer to the rule which to the tuiauocessfui pass over the goal line ou fourth down. Instead of the ball go- i ing over on the 20 yard line, It will go over at the last point of scrimmage. * * Another rule which will be effective will remove the penalty for talking. A substitute no longer will have to stay twenty or thirty yards away from his males before a play is run after he has entered the game. Well, they say that changes add to the spice of life and perhaps the new grid changes will add to the sport. We i hope so. * Have you attended any of the basket ball games at the gym yet? If not you are missing some nice action on the maple. Tho Bulldog team shows more promise this season than in many years past while the girls team is right up to the minute. ^Another nice action group is that from the northern stables, the lads really having a swell performing aggregation. Well, getting away from nporu for J a minute. We went over <to the Wade Hampton last week to attend a Defense Council meet lug and - In addition to a really swell dinner, some flue speeches, we alee had a sample of rather unique hospitality. That la, we und about a score or more of other oar owners. The police department presented all of us with a greeting card. Guess they got tired of waiting to hand it to us personally as we found it tied to our door haudles. It cost 60 cents. Home card. * I wish wo could get Dr. Jacobs and Hey ward Mahon over to Camden to give a talk one of these days. Talk about dynamite. Each of these gents pack It In plenty. 1 felt like getting up and giving a rebel yell when they opened the vocal throttle and really started steaming. * Been out to the airport lately. We have. In fact, since they started work on the air school buildings, digging the well, and the like we have been out very frequently. Ixwks like a big thing. + ? , We are In a betting pool as to the depth the well diggers will hit the stuff we wash In. 4 * Columbia sport fans are gullible. Every year they fail for that original Celtic Ballyhoo. The game there the other night between a picked Columbia outfit led by Banks McFadden . lost out to the Celtics by a few points. Had the visitors really wanted to open up, they could have swamped the home lads. I've seen the Celtics, the real Celtics of several years back, In actIon and believe you me, they were good. But they wore not. unbeatable. January is here. There Is no mistake about that. People's sinuses and throats are giving them Hall Columbia. Thermometers are working overtime and when you call your Doctor you find he can't come because he's sick in bed hlmseit. Mebbe a bit farfetched but believe me, and I know, there is plenty of flu about this here nation right now. If I have been sort of cussed mean and onery the past week blame It on a sinus headache and a scratchy, throat Well, anyway we don't have to dig oursqlves out of blizzards like they are doing farther north. City folks are drying up In steam heated homes, folks In the country have chilblains and what not. ( Down here, no matter if we have a bad throat and a sinus disturbance we can out and watoh some of the best polo ever offered In the mldsouth. * * Which brings us around to that game Sunday here In Camden. The locals had to spot the Plnehurst lads one goal and for awhile it looked as if that point might be the winning margin for the invaders. But Eddie O'Brien came through midway of the sixth and we had the game. ? We want to say that every member of the Camden team played heads up ball. Bates and O'Brien led In the scoring but Harrison did some beautiful feeding and was a power on defense. Good old Moultrie played tbe best game of his life. * Up in Pinehurst another squad, the Camden Ramblers led by Charlie DuIlose spanked the at home Pinehurst team 5 to 3. T upper and Bight foot did the main scoring but DuBose was on the job with some nice defensive play. , > And here in Camden we had the largest crowd to ever witness a polo game here. They came from all over the Carolinas and packed the sidelines and parking areas until the overflow of cars extended to nearby lanes. We met a lot of the news hounds and camera men from the larger papers of the two states and were they tickled with the show. And Russ Hodges, a smart sportacaster from WBT, paid his flrBt visit to our field and he liked it. Russ wants to broadcast one of the games in March. That would be nice, wouldn't it?

Most of our heavy eating took place on Christmas Day. The doctor did not ha"e to come to see but 2 of ua. The others got by with bicarbonate of soda. The turkey we bought looked about 3 times as large while we were buying him on foot as he did when he came out of the bakeoven. The shrinkage was possibly BB or 60 per cent. We will have hash for the next 4 or 5 days for both breakfast and dinner. ?The presents received by us, meaning the immediate members of our own family, all of which were bought by the various persons composing the family group, at the expense of the okl man, were mighty nice and some two or three of them can and will be used If possible. The others will be retired to the dresser drawers or the attic or "Nora's Ark." We have a place upstairs where we throw everything that we don't want (at the time) ! that we call "Nora's Ark"; take one look at it and you'll guess what the name really Implies. ?Holidays are hard on" folks who are used to active employment outside or at the office. All a person can do is just sit around and mope and yawn and listen and wish. We didn't have any of our kinfolks at our house this time. We managed to keep all of them thinking and guessing that we would probably visit them during the festivities. We didn't let them know any better till it was too late for them to come to ' see us. This saved us from making much of a to-do at our house. ?I have been using' the handkerchief today that old Santa brought me.
