For they were none other than the players who were on the Governor's Horse Guard polo team from Atlanta that played in the Russell Memorial trophy event in 1938 and 1939. Yes slr-eo-e-. There was Lieutenant E. O. Thornton, Captain L. LL Gay, Captain Will Smith, Captain Will A. Linduuy and Lieutenant G. J. Graham. f And what a reunion that was when these former Georgia poloists. met the Camden gang, Burns, Bates, Boykin, Lightfoot, Robertson, Tupper and the rest. Coach Harrison has asked the boys to come down and take part in the Camden program. They are with the troops camped near Westville. # Two days after the OPM wa^ns of a shortage in writing paper the postmaster general, proclaims a national letter writing week.

Not but what the1 Bulldogs might give the Tarheels an argument, but the Camden program has been fillad and there is no room for additional games. ? ? Have had a big kick out of Wisconsin bo?s in khaki, officers and privates, dropping in to chat. Several of the boys attended Marquette when our son was there. IN A HUDDLE ft J a y with ' 'THE SKIPPER" I Hats off to Rex Enright. and his Gamecocks. The Clemson victory was a feather In the cap of the coaching 3taff and a fighting team. We did not give the Gamecock's a Chinaman's chance and frankly had a few pennies wagered on the game. But the result was one hundred per cent satisfactory. t * You listened to or read of some thrilling games and sensational upsets last Saturday. To our way of thinking the big game of the season will be played Saturday between Minnesota and Northwestern and folks,, dori't list those wildcats as'being below the Gopher rating. You might be surprised. * The biggest surprise last Saturday was the unmerciful walloping Mississippi gave Tulane. , 0 mm** ' Well, a lot of bowls are being emptied these days. Getting down to local football. How about being in the stands tonight when the Bulldogs tackle Chester. On the dope it should be a romp for the Camden talent, but don't forget Carolina and Clemsou. Those Chester lads may rear up and kick the daylights out of the favored Bulldogs. We hope not. But anyhow, be at the game. 'I think it the duty of every Camden fan to be out tonight Just to shpw their appreciation of the fine showing the Bulldogs have made this season. Six down and font to go. Kingstree, Brookland-Cayce, Sumter, Lancaster, Harding and Orangeburg are tucked away in the victory chest. We hope to see Chester and Hartsville sent home at the lower end of the count. Then comes Charleston and that game should be the crucial one of the sealaoa,? If we? get by Charleston, we think Gaffney will join the ranks of the defeated. Thus the Bulldogs will have posted a 100 per cent record. Undefeated and untied. By the way, if we go down to the Gaffney game with a clear slate, let's make that battle the home-coming game and jam the grandstand and bleachers to the groaning point with | Bulldog lovers.

Full Text of President's Navy Day Speech Washington, Oct. 27?The text of President Roosevelt's Navy day addross follows: Five mouths ago tonight I proclaimed to the American people Che existence of a state of unlimited emergen ?y. Since then much Iuih happeued. Our army und navy are temporarily in Iceland in the defense of the western hemisphere. Hitler has attacked shipping ip areas close to the Americas throughout the Atluntlc. Many American owned merchant ships have been sunk on the high sous. { One American destroyer was attacked on September 4. Another destroyer was attacked and hit on October 17. Kleveu brave and loyal men of our navy were killed by the Nazis. Wp have wished to avoid shooting. Rut the shooting has started. And history has recorded who fired the ilrst shot. In the long ruu. however, all that will matter is who flred the last shot. ' America has been attacked. The U. S. S. Kearny is not Just a navy ship. She belongs to every man, woman and child in this nation. Illinois, Alabama, California, North Carolina, Ohio, Louisiana, Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arkansas, New York, Virginia?those are the home states of tho honored dead and wounded of the Kearny. Hitler's torpedo was directed at every American, whether he lives on our seacoasts or in the innermost part of the nation, far from the' seas and far from the guns and tanks of the marching hordes of would-be conquerors of the world. I . . ll, I The purpose of Hitler's attack was to frighteu the American people off the high seas -to force us to, make a trembling retreat. This is not the ttrst time he has misjudged the American spirit. That spirit is now aroused. . If our national policy were to be dominated by *lhe fear of shooting, then all of our ships and those of our Hlstt^P^pulilirs would have to l>o tied up in home ha/bors. Our navy would have to remain respectfully?abjectly ?behind any lino which Hitler might decree or any ocean as his own dictated version of his own war zone, Naturally we reject that absurd end insulting suggestion. We reject It because of our own self-interest, our own self-respect and our own good faith. Freedom of tho Bens is now, as it has always boon, tho fundamental policy of this government. Hitler has often protested that his plans for conquest do not extend across tho Atlantic ocean. His submarines und raiders prove otherwise. So does the entire design of his new world order. For example, I have In my possession a secret map made in German} by Hitler s government?by tho planners of the new world order. It is a map of South. America and a part of Central America, as Hltlor proposes to reorganize It. Today in this urea there are 14 separate countries. The geographical experts of Berlin, however?have ruthlessly obliterated all existhig boundary lines; and have divided South America into five vassal states, bringing the whole continent under their domination. And they have also so arranged It that the territory of one of these new puppet states Includes the Republic of Panama and our great life line?the Panama canal. This map makes clear the Nazi design not only against South America but against the United States itself. Your government has In Its possession another documAt made ia Germany by Hitler's government. It Is a detailed plan, which, for obvious reasons, the Nazis did not wish to publicize just yet, but which they are ready to impoae on a dominated world ?If Hitler wins. It ia a plan to abolish all existing religions?Protestant, Catholic, Mohammedan, Hindu, Budhlst and Jewish alike. The property of all churches will be' seized by the reich. The cross and all other symbols of religion are to be forbidden. The clergy are to be forever silenced under penalty or the concentration camps, where even now so many fearless men are being tortured because they placed God above Hitler. In the place of the churches of our civilization, there is to b^ set up an international Nazi church?a church which will be served by orators sent out by the Nazi government. In the place of the Bible, the words of Meln Kampf will be Imposed and enforced as holy writ. > And in place of the ??????I?I??M?WW cross of Christ will bo put two symbols?the swastika, a.nd the naked sword. Tho god of blood and Irop will tako the place of the God of love and mercy. These grim truths which I have told you of the-present and future plans of Hitlorism will of course be hotly , denied tomorrow in the controlled press and radio of the Axis powers. ; And some Americans will continue to insist that Hitler's pluns need not worry us?and that we should not concern ourselves with anything that goes 011 beyond rifle Bhot of our owij shores. The protestations of these American citizens?few In number?will, as usual, be paraded with applause < through the Axis press andNradio dur- < lng the next few days, In an effort to . convince the world that the majority i of Americans are opposed to their ] duly chosen government, and In real* ! lty are only waiting to jump on Hitler's band wagon when U comes thlB 1 way. The motive of. such Americans is not the point at issue. The fact is [ that Nazi propaganda continues in desperation to seize upon such Isolated statements as proof of American disunity. The Nazis have made up their own list of modern American heroes. It Is, I unfortunately, a short list. I am glad that It does not contain my name. All of us Americans, of all opinions, ; are faced with the choice between the kind of world we want to live in and the kind of world which Hitler and his hordes would impose upon us. None of us wants to burrow under i the ground and live In total darkness like a comfortable mole. . i1-. K9 Tho forward uiurch of liltlcrlsm can be stopped? and It will he slopped. Very simply and very bluntly?wo are pledged to pull our own oar In tho destruction of Hitlorism. And when we have helped to end the curse of llltlerism we shall help to estahllsh u now peace which will give to decent people everywhere a better chance to live and prosper In security and in freedom and In faitli. Each day that passes we nro producing and providing more and more arms for the men who are fighting on actual Rattle-fronts. That is our primary task. And it is the nation's will that these vital arms and supplies of all kinds shall neither be locked up in American harbors nor sent to the bottom of the sea. It is tho nation's will that America shall deliver the goods. Iu' open defiance of that will, our ships have been sunk and our sailors have been killed. * I Bay that we do not propose to take this lying down. Our determination not to take it lying down has been expressed in the orders to the American navy to shoot on sight. Those orders stand. Furthermore, tho house of representatives has already voted to amend parf of thd neutrality act of 1937, today outmoded by force of violent circumstances. The senate committee on foreign relations has also recommended elimination of other hamstringing provisions in that act. That is the course of honesty and of realism. Our American merchant ships must be armed to defend themselves against the rattlesnakes of the sea. Our American merchanV ships must (Please turn to page seven) ?????????Mpf?. HAIGLAR ?
