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
