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?

SOMETHING NEW TOOK PLACE
IN FLAT ROCK LAST WEEK
?the house parly which was hell last
week under the auspices of meadame
holsum moore at her f. h. a. pallatlal
home on west view ou behalf of her
2 grown darters (which she is anxious
to get married off) was a complete
flop from the beginning to Ita end.
in the first place, the 4wo girls the*
she Invited from the oounty-aeat got
drunk the first night and the 2 boys
had a hard time getting them out of
their coupe into the house after a
short drive into the country, they say
that the girls furnished the whiskey.
?what hurt the boys feelings woraer
than annythiug else was miss burkltte
laid her lit cigarette down on ' the
cushion and burnt a great hole in the
same and bill gretohors dlddent know
aimything about It until he set down
on It. it was a brand new car with
only 2 payments made including the
down.
?holsum moore, the husband of mesdame
moore, who looked like she
would have had that house party or
go crazy, newer slept a wink enduring
the duration of th6\festivities, he
said them boys and girls could make
more fuss and noise to the square
inch and per minult than other set of
wild animals she eypr saw.
?mrs. moore said boys and girls
would be boys and 'there wassent
anny use to get mad about it. She
reminded holsum of a certain few
things he done when he was a-coating.
all such talk as that was out of place
and lead to a big argument, he has
not et a single meal at his wife's
house since the party broke up. he

CHRI8TMA8 HA8 COME I
AND GONE
?We have almost fully recoverd from
Christmas. 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. It
has so much starch in it it has rubbed
nearly all of the sktn off of my fare
and nose. The pair of socks I receivwould
fit Carnea OK. They are size
11 1-2. I wear much smaller ones. I
have not been able to figure out what
the other present Is. It looks like. ?
pen-wiper, but is padded like a pin
cushion. It might be a shoulder pad. It
rattles?possibly there is something In
it that's fit to eat. I am ashamed to
it that's fit t oeat. I am ashamed to
ask anybody' what it is. They all
think I am too lgnprant already 1
am gLad it's all over; now I can begin
to make a tax returns for entertainment
for a few months.

border, according to the following

fourth of a series of Invasions, French
troops penetrated into Thailand
(Siamese) territory. The detachment
consisted of 24 men with two elephants,
three horses and one bicycle."

You can't blame the little lady
for wanting to avoid a tiresome
trip to the telephone.
But her method's all wrong.
What she should do, of course,
is order an upstairs extension y
telephone and say good-bye
forever to those . wearisome,
worrisome dashes down the
stairs. An
extension telephone takes
the run out of running the
home and gives the whole
family a lot of extra convenience
and added protection..*

to learn how little an
