No folks, Not "A Date With Judy" but a "Date with Skipper" at the game tonight. Camden vs. Brookland ?Cayce. Let's go out and watch the golden horde win No. 2. | We all saw the Bulldogif clan claw up the Klngstree Boll Weevils last Frij day. The exhibition was that of good | and bad football, but shucks?that was to be expected?being It was the first game of the seascyi. ? Frankly, wo like the potential aspects of the 1941 Bulldog outfit better than the 1940. It is true that the squad lacked reserve power but if we ' can keep the first stringers perking, ' you'll see a good bit of nice football and a goodly numbeT of wins. i There are a few things in regard to | this local football program which gets I our nanny and we hope that of Dick j Richards and Coaches Villepigue and Pierce. First, we think the stadium should be curried a bit?in other words, remove the jungle growth from the area, especially along the side line fences. Second and this is important, keep the spectators back of'the fence along the side lines. * * * * The way some of the fans gathered j along the east side of the field and 1 marched up and down with the movement of the teams prevented spectators in the lower tier of seats from seeing the field. These same spectators can see just as mueh if they sat in the stands. By all means, keep the crowd off the field. ? t # t You know, kids, will be kids, 4)ut | sometimes some kids lack sense. For instance, when the soldiers from the Public Relations headquarters marched out to join in the parade with the band last Friday night between halves, a gang of kids sallied forth . and not only interfered with the marching of the soldiers, but made the spectators sore as boiled owls. And in parting?why not work out a parking system that will permit of intelligent movement of cars after the game. We suggest that the police study the method used by the Englj neers when a dance was held at the armory recently. * i Well, it looks as if the Mullen fam! ily will contribute another outstanding ' football player to Camden football history. First it was Johnny, now a 'student at the U. S. Military academy, then came Billy, now at V. M. I. This j year it is Freddie, or Fritzle who i looms up as a Bulldog bulwark. Fredi die scored all of the touchdowns in, | the Friday game against Klngstree. 'Nice going kid. i ? In looking over the list of boys who may go places in Bulldog football hls! tory this fall, we do not want to miss I Luther Sowell, tho Tindal chap, Benny Marshall and heaps 6f others. Redheaded Benny, with his long shanks, sure can go places with the ball, as ; witness his 36 yard gallop in that j opening game. Tindal's passing was I sweet And the kid should really do | some swell sharpshooting this season. ! Sowell can be depended upon to take i many of Tindal's passee. ? ? i There are so many new faces In j the squad this season that we confess we are lost in trying, to pick them out end talk about them. Iu the firet string group however wo noticed that chubby Dicky Cox waa pretty much Iu evidence In the tackle berth. The aume la true of the Roy kin kid. Sowell mul Marahull make a awell pair of enda while guard positions ure really In good handa In Darker and Bruce. Part In worked well at center, while Tlndal, Mullen, NVhltaker and Price were outataudlug iu the back field. * * ? * Guess there Isn't anything I tun add to what the football fans have not already heard relative to our own towheaded Shot Cox. Shot got about six minutes action in the game between the North Carolina Tarheels and Leuolr-Rhyno and in that interval he put himself right on the top as the outstanding backfield star of the south. In six minutes Cox scored two touchdowns, kicked an extra point and ran back a punt 27 yards. In the second half he scored a touchdown in one minute and 2Q seconds after play started, kicked the extra point and then two plays later following the klckoff, took the ball and raced 75 yards for another touchdown. In addition lie also did not mall carrying and took (he ball to tho one yard line after which a team mate took It over. * Three years ago I told the coach of a midwest varsity of Cox and urged him to get the lad lined up. He thought 1 was getting poeticul from the effects of the Carolina moon. Ye gods, what a laugh I have on him now. m ? By the way, you football eggs, that Lancaster high team will bear watching. This department heard some stories about two weeks ago about this outfit from the city of Red Roses. Now we know that It was all jake, for Lancaster completely spilled the dope last Friday by spanking the Chester Red Cyclones?yes folks, believe it or not?47 to 9. a a a The Sumter Highs who will battle the Camden Bulldogs next week had a tough assignment in winning from the Lake View Highs. The score being 13 to 0. Hartsville, another Bulldog opponent this season defeated Bishopville 34 to 7. Sport writers of the state went haywire on their predictions regarding the Furman-Tenneasee and the Clemson-Presbyterian games. Furman was doped to give Tennessee a beating while Presbyterian would make Clemson hustle. The scores. Tennessee 32, Furman 6 and Clemson 41, Presbyterian 12, tells Just how wide of the mark the typewriter punchers were.
