[hot Oil the key) i THE SKIPPER. I I? p Next to the Camden-Sumter 'sport parade the Louts-Nova fight was the j,lg noise In funning bees lust week. We have heard all klhda of newspaper stories on that heavyweight dash, hut to get the story behind the leadlines we listened to some of the newspaper chaps who are in Camden for the maneuvers. Some of the scribes saw the fight and from the tenor of their remarks it looks to me as |f .Joe really knocked mystic Lou Hoto the pugilistic junk pile. * + * # Those who were foolish ^nough to rido the Nova band wagon and pick the myst Ionian and his dynamic stance Yogi may insist that the sepia superman lias gone buck but I do not | believe Nova will join In that chorus. + Louis was just as good as he wanted to be last Monday night. Accommodating'cuss that he is he seemed to delay the knockout proceedings for motion picture purposes. He could have named the round and the punch T-that's how perfectly he worked. He was just that kind to the Yogi man. Maybe the cold blasts retarded him for three rounds, but once he thawed out the brown bomber was vicioffs, just as devastating as he has been In most of his championships bouts. * The fight was pretty much a disappointment up to the knockout as neither man extended himself In the first three rounds. The crowd booed and jeered and roared for action. But Louis was just biding his time. When the right moment arrived, the selpa bomber proceeded to rack up his 19th defense of his title. * If Louis retires from the game because of his tfolag into (lie army, the heavyweight title will not be passed to any particular fighter. Louis wjll let the four best contenders fight it out. According to Louis .Billy Conn i. was die best man he ever faced. v m ? From the squared circle of the arena of war?what a day Friday . " 1 1 ' t I I" I " * ll provetf to be for Camden. That gathering in Hampton Square, with the governors of North and South Carolina speaking over three big broadcasting sytstemH, the Mutual. N. B.

His diction was splandld a >d i)w:e was no hesitation in his rema ks. * It was a big houi ior the school kids and they were all present from the tiny tots to the high school group. * * By the way?getting away from war for a minute?grab a pencil or pen and mark down Novomber 8th as the date of the Generals' race program at the Millway plantation track. There are to be six events on thp program with the second race, throe furlongs on the flat as the feature. Went to the meeting of the dairy farmers of Kershaw county at the court house last Saturday and it was a pleasant surprise to meet A. E. Vaughan, superintendent of th6 big Borden Milk company plant at Chester. The surprise was pleasant because Mr. Vaughan and your skipper hail from the same part of Wisconsin and we had a lot of things to talk about regarding the good old Badger state. I hope the farmers of Kershaw county will realize what a fine opportunity they now have of getting a good start in the dairy industry, As Mr. McCarley' expressed it "let's keep this ball rolling and get somewhere." s ? A week or so ago we had aOme thoughts to offer in this column regarding our good friend Congressman J. P. Richards. Last Saturday's mail brought us the following letter from ????? wmmmtBBmmmmemmmmmmmmmrwm??*?*' the Congressman: "Allow me to ox proas my appreciation of your kind remark* relative to my services here, which appeared In a recent Issue of the Camden Chrouicle. I always get great pleasure out of readlug your column aud I admire very nnn-h .yopr go-getter spirit." IN A HUDDLE * * ' ' * * _ *. X "THE SKIPPER" The sympathy of the community goes out to Freddie Mullen, Camden high school football player, who suffered a fractured leg in the Sumter game last Friday. Freddie was going places with the Bulldogs this season. It is sure tough when a promising career such as faced the Mulleu lad had to be terminated in such an unfortunato manner. % * ? ? . Well, all we can say is "tough luck kid, yjou have our deepest sympathy. We hope you'll have a rapid recovery and with no ill-effects." * Friends and fc*Iow citizens?lend me ^your oars. Seriously, this game tonight with Lancaster is going to be a lot tougher than the average fan believes. - I notice in the vurious wisdom corners where the drug store quarterbacks venture their words of wisdom that there Is a tendency to discount this Lancaster team and regard the impending grid quarrel as a sort of breather for the Bulldogs. Would it surprise you if I say it is going to be about the toughtest scrap of the season for the Bulldogs, j" Hfcls Lancaster team has run wild at the expense of Chester and Hartsvllle and some other teams. The score in the Chester game was 47 *o 0. The Hartsville score was 46 to 6. Some of the lads who saw the latter game said that the Lancaster gang did everything with the ball but eat it.. ? .As an added attraction for tonight's card, British cadets from the Southern Aviation school will stage an abbreviated soccer game between halves. Well, speaking of football?the games Saturday ran true to the dope, with the exception of one. That was the Marquette-Wisconsln battle. Marquette played its first game since Tom Stldham took over as the Golden Avalanche coach. Wisconsin was a ??????????as a heavy favorite but Marquette trampled the Badger powerhouse under a 28 to 7 acore and aent the sport writers home talking to themsevles. South Carollnu, after raising the hopeH of the Gamecock fans to thejpth degree hy defeating North Carolina, was Just another bunch of gridiron hams to u Georgia powerhouse ?the Gamecocks losing 3t to 8. '?he South Carolina outfit was completely outclassed although Unrig hi s charges fought doggedly against the crushing uttack o.f the lads of Athens. Duke went true to I' rm and larruped Tennessee 18 to 0. Cleinson was winner over N. C. State 27 to 6. Mississippi State took Alabama 14 tu 0. Tulane battered Auburn 32 to Q and North Carolina defeated Davidson 20 to 0. Wake Forest crushed Furinan 62 to 13. ? Probably one of the queerest games of the day was the Yale-Vlrglnla tilt. Virginia had Yale beaten 19 to 0 In the first half but In tho second the sons of Fit turned about and pushed over three touchdowns to win 2i to 19. * w * * Again may 1 break Into this chatter to urge every Camden fan to bo present at tonight's game between tho Bulldogs and the Purple Hurricane from Lancaster. 1 hope Camden wins, but I'm not so sure. 1 also hope that after tho game you folks will be able to kid me about my fears und forebodings. j Armies Face To?
