There were two all-star gumes 'sat
Saturday. 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.

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
