' e??r Three Camden Teams Score Cage Victories ('a#** fans who sat some four hours In (he high school gymnasium Tuesday night saw thro? lino basketball buttles ami wore able to give vent to "all-out" euthusiastn whon a trio of Camden teams amassed as many victories. The Camden gtvla. sparked by Peggy McUulrt, a warn pod the Bi\H>khuidCayv* maldena under a 38 to Yd score with winsome Peg dropping In 20 points. The Camden Horflo Shoe quint, with Johnny Unlwlth popping In 20 points defeated the Fort Jackson Engineers In an airtight fracas 42 to 29. A big crowd watched the tlueo games and so intense was the intow'fti that scarcely an individual loft the auditorium until the final whistle of f,he third game. Thursday evening the Horse Snoo team takoH on the C. C. C. Aces and on Friday evening Cnnulen H?gh stages a double header with Darling* ton. On Tuesday. February 4 the local Highs battlo liishopvlllo in a dou* bio bill and ou Friday February 7 the Orangeburg teams play a return' engagement with Camden here, in a recent twin bill at Orangeburg Camden teams scored victories, but by mil toil margins. The game between the Camden and Brooklund-Qayce girls teams Tuesday night was never in doubt. Camden took an early lead and increased tho margin as the game progressed. MeQuirt scored 10 field goals for 20 points. Trapp scored 8 points and Corbet* 2. Other points were scattered. Even little ltsy bitsy Kenning dropped in a neat counter in tho closing minutes of the play after Coach I (Small had sent his reserves on to the floor. For tho visitors Swaggert was high with 6 points. Buzzard got 3 and Williams, a sub 4. Jean Bell and Kathryh Myers did a beautiful Job of officiating in this game. These girls know their basketball and they kept the game going at to speed. In the game between the boys teams the locals showed marked Improvement In their game. The fine coaching that Johnny Ixsdwlth is giving the boys is getting results and the fans [are turning out in greater numbers to witness this nationally most Important and greatest patronzed sport. Excellent ,oor work was in evidence in the Brook land-Cayce encounter. Billy Mullen's light brigade charged the entire length of the floor with the entire Brook land-Cayce team on his heels in the first quarter saw the Pule chap drop In the first score of the game and it brought the crowd to their feet with a roar of delight. "And when Benny Marshall followed a minute later with a pop shot from under the cage, the fans went wild. lbvisitors rallied at this point and fr.im' that time on the battle -was fast and I furious with the half ending In a deadlock. It was Marshall's and Sheheen's fine work that gave the locals the magin of victory. Marshall scored 8 points, Sh^heen 7, B. Mullen 4 and Tindal 4. The third attraction of the evening | saw some real fireworks when a fighting barid of soldiers of Uncle . Sam went down before tho riders of the Camden equestrian world by a 42 to 39. And It was handsome Johnny Ledwith who caused the fish net to wiggle with his beautifully executed shots. Moore with 12 points ?nd -Dodd with 10 were the other contributors, to the scoring for Camden. The soldiers put a smart team on tho floor. .Wouldern with 17 points was a close rival to Ledwith for top Bcoring honors. It was excellent floor work by Mpore and D*>dd that aided in the scoring by I^edwlth., The team play of the horse shoe talent was beautiful to watch and was another exemplification of L?edwith s ability to get results in the Cage sport. One of the features of the evening that appealed to us and undoubtedly to many of tho fans was the manner in which (Moore and Shaw kept the action hot in the game between the i boys teams -of the Camden aDd Iirookland-Cayce high schools. There no chance for complaint against loo much whistle-tooting. Many officials go out of their way to demonstrate their prowess as piccolo soloists in cage games but not Moore and Shaw. Tho game was fast and never got tiresome. That the cage sport Is definitely taking top rank as a winter attraction In Camden Is evidenced by the many fans who turn out for the ^gamos. The promise for the future is very attractive in this respect, for another year, with the trainees at the aviation school turning In some good teams, the cqmpetition will be very keen and it looks'as If the high school gymnasium Will be the most popular spot In this tflan's resort townV .
