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.

in Hampton Square, with the
governors of North and South Carolina
speaking over three big broadcasting

3000 people gathered to stop, look and

It was a big houi ior the school kids

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."

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
?????

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."

"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.
