One . was between the South Carolina All-Stars and the other from tho North Carolina all stars. It was a high school event and all we have to say Is that the birds who plckSotith Carolina "all-stars" passed up a lot of real talent. With due modesty we could have picked a team that would have played rings around the Palmetto all-star outfit that played at Charlotte. * ? The other all-star gaiue was a hatlie between South Carolina College All-stars and the North Carolina AllStars. South Carolina won 14 to 7, but bear In mind folks the real allstars of the Tarheel state, who wear the uniforms of the Duke Blue Devils, wore not in the line up. They are readying for the Rose bowl game. m m ? m Tonight In Columbia two Camden boys. Dicky Cox and Luther Sowell will play iu an all-star game between two teams of Palmetto high school lads. And Lindsay Pierce, Camden coach, will ho ouo of the coaches In thut game. Quite a few Cumden people are going to be ut that game. Speaking of football, flld you see what happened to Oregon University in a clash with Texas. The score, believe It or not, was 71 to 7 in favor of Texas. Ouch. ? > ? Spectators at the the polo game Sunday were treated to a real thriller. Country won in an extra chukker game when Kirby Tupper scored the winner gonl In a suddon death period that went almost throo minutes. In this series Town won the first game 6 to 3, Country the second 6 to 5 In in an extra chukker event. We want to pass this week's plushlined bath tub to Ancrum Boykin, No. 4 on Town for some fine defensive play last Saturday. He put up a beautiful brand of ball. Harrison was high scorer, getting live of the six counters scored by his mates. Next Sunday the polo club foursome plans on taking on the Essex Troop and best news of all is that the game is to be played at the No. 1 field.

(the goal posts at Seaboard field In an | extra chukker Sunday to give Coun. try a 7 to 6 win In the final and decidI Ing game of the Drum series, j The game was one of the most l thrilling seen here this season and I was a ding dong affair with first one team and then the other taking the lead. l, Cyril Harrison scored five of the six goals made by Town with DuBose adding a sixth to tie up the game in the closing seconds of the regular playing period. Country took an early lead when Tupper and Bates turned in goals in the initial chukker. Town went scoreless but registered in the second when Harrison turned in the first of his quintet of counters. Country was blanked in the period.' Each team scored in the third, Harrison again for town and Robertson for Country.

" - ? --- Aviation Cagers Give Royal Cords Scrap (By tho Skipper) 1 he Royal Cord baskotoers from Winnsboro under the tutelage of Jimmy Jelks nosed out h hard-fighting Southern Aviation quintet in the high school gynui Tuesday night In a game sparkling with neat floor work and ilne shooting. The score was 40 to 33. I he game uncovered some excellent talent in the aviation cage group with Karl FTiedel stealing the show with some uncanny cage shots for a total of 16 points, "lied" Lawson, who did u magnificent Job at the guard post, tion checked in with ten points. Herb Lewis added 6 points and SeFgeant Hay Scott 2. Manner did not get into tho scoring column but he was right on the job with some tine defensive play and feed shots. The remarkable feature of the game was tho dogged persistence of the local group who took the floor as a team for tho first time. With a few more games under their belt the lads | from the flying post should make the best of them hustle. Topscorlng honors went to Wages of the Cords with 18 points. Askew gathered 8, Gunter 6. Porter 4, Osborn 3. Rushing 2 und Spigner 1. , The invaders, who rate as one of the best semi-pro outfits in the Palmetto State had the advantage of considerable practlco and of having played together for years. Coach Jelk also had | enough reserves to place an almost now team in the fray at critical periods. The aviation boys did not have a reserve to put in action and the flev i lads mentioned above went the entire route. j The game was nip and tuck through the first quarter and In the second j quarter Camden had narrowed the gap to 15-13 with the Cords on top. At the end of tho third period a number of sensational rebound shots gave the Cords a 31 to 25 lead. The final quarter was a battle royal with the Cords putting in four new men In the last four minutes enabling them to top the quarter totals with a lone point. Coach Jelk will be remembered by Camden football fans as the pleasant pompadour laddie who worked as an official in many of the high school games here during the past several seasons. He is the athletic director at the Winnsboro mill and one of the squarest-shooting chaps we have ever met. He Is a grad from Wake Forest where he won signal honors In athletics. The game was refereed by T. C. Shealy of Winnsboro, who offered a fine brand of officiating. There is every reason to believe I that Camden will have plenty of fine (basketball dished up this season as the prospects of a four team league to feature the Aviation team, a team from the mechanics group at the air , post and a third team from the rauks of the American cadets. A fourth team would be the horse shoe club | team, which provided some fine basketball entertainment last season. I This writer hopes that Camden sport fans will accord these, cage groups support by attending the games. Basketball Is a fast heady brand of sport and offers the finest kind of entertainment for a winter evening. In closing we might mention that the Aviation team offers a study in composition, in that all of the five jplayers hail from different principaljities. Dead Shot Friedel hails from the College of Charleston; Manners lays claim to being a native of SavanI nah. Sergeant Hay Scott Is the only unadulterated Yankee in the quint and comes from Columbus, Ohio where they made football history the past season by tying Michigan for second honors in the Big Nine with former high school coach handling the Buckeyes. "Red" Lawson, sometimes referred to as Tarzan is from thp- land made famous by Scarlet O Hara while Herb Lewis is from the land of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Camden Garden Club Notes There is still time to plant for the annual flower show which is to be held later than usual this spring. Nina Hoffman, of the Charlotte News, says there Ja still time to plant bulbs ( ?buYbs, more bulbs, blooming shrubs and more perennial plants. Continue planting hardy annual seeds such as sweet peas, poppies. Don't forget California poppies bocause they bloom so early. Larkspur and portulaca. Last cull for iris. The time is perfect for planting roses. Now is the time to transplant thrift. Thrift loves a not too rich soil. Prepare border well. Mix leaf mold or very old manure into soil well. Sep- j arate clumps of thrift into single strands. Place two to eight strands to a'hill. Pack soil firmly over roots. Water well. Place another layer of soil over plant but do not pack. Forget it until, spring?and suddenly one morning a live pink border will greet you. Hem ember the Rhame border last spring? I)o not feed, prune or cultivate now ?plants are ready for sleep and rest ?except rye or winter grass. Allow rootB to dry out between digging and replanting. The best advantage you can give a plant is to protect its roots by covering and get it into the ground quickly. Do not mulch too heavily?produces poor flower buds. Do not plant too shallow?remember the freezes and thaws to come. Camden Stunned As , Japs Attack Nation The usual Sabbath culm of Camden. ho pronounced lUHt Sunday after the two months of bustle and confusion caused by the many soldiers being hero, was disrupted Sunday afternoon when *flaah reports over the radio told of the attack by Japanese bombers on |*oarl Harbor and other Hawaiian points. Out at the polo game the many hundreds of people watching the polo game were made aware of the breaking out of a Jap-l'nlted States war when an excited spectator who had his radio going In his car, hurst out and yelled: "The Japs are bombing Honolulu. They are tit war with the Culled States." Cars equipped with radios became tho center of rapidly growing groups. Kugltsh cadets at the polo ftold listened with glistening eyes and grinned when the announcer declared tiiat England was going to declare war against Japan in a few hours. "Well, don't you know, they can't wash us out now "shouted one of the Itrltlsh lads. "Ktghto old chap" shouted several lu reply. As the news of the start of the war i Hashed through the city people rushed to their radios. All atloruoon. all evening and far Into the night eager listeners drank in tho words of the nouncors telling of the treacherous attack on America by the little brown men of the Orient. For decades America has heard of tho threat of tho yellow peril. Now It is actually upon us. Soldier boys in (ho service today remember their fathers speaking of the Jap threat. The news of tho clash in the Pacific came as a sort of relief to tho nation. It 1?uh been apparent for weeks that war was certain between the United States and the Japanese. There has been a tenseness that became ,nervewracking^And when the actual clash came, Ajflfflcans breathed sighs of relief and promised to finish off the Japs in short order. Monday here in Camden and vicinity grlm-fuced soldiers from1 Fort Jackson, urrJved in trucks and began guard duty at tho Southern Aviation flying school, the Wateree river bridge, the Seaboard trestle over tbe Wateree, tho big Wateree dam, the city pumping station and other points vital to defense.
