V * " Certainly, you and you and you must have heard wild statements like the above. You know they are ull wrong lint take it from me. after a trip Into the midwest, stopping hero and there enroute, I heard them again and again, and there are plenty of suckers who really regard them an facts. 1 * 1 Itnt 1 want to say 1 believe the people of this country are awake to the fact that an all out effort Is necessary to win this war. The reaction I got regarding strikes was right up my ally--the people are disgusted with the element fostering and abetting strikes. They would like to see the leaders and strikers put Into concentration camps?or better yet?In the army as buck privates under hardboiled sergeants. The mid-West area has not felt the string of the gas rationing as yet. The motorists Tor the most part are not conscious of the necessity of conserving on rubber. They drive Jlk0 mad and in the larger cities race pell-mell from stop light to stop light ?pulling up with a squeaking of lubber when the light goes sour on them This corner drove along at 40 per and it looked as if all the cars in the t'SA passed us going In the same direction.

My own personal observation, or, shall I say. analysis, of the compari-j son of labor conditions living costs, j and the like, in the mid-West as c in- j pared to the Soii'li is that wages Wire never higher, people n. ver had as I much to spend as they ha\r r;ght ' now in the big war production areas 1 and living costs are much lower up there than down here This is truei ef meats, vegetables, fruits and the] like. in; COLDS . . .

Sport Pourri < Well football fans, she grid season is on. and our Bulldogs have one scalp !?>( k pinned to their belt as a result of .1 brush w ith the Darlington griddets here last Friday. Camden won 1 .'S t?> r. and the came was about all thus one t ould a>k for it as a grid spectacle. * It was the opening tilt for each team, but tins was not in any way evident i d. the teams goitic to town <n a i desire jo demonstrate they were reads for the season's grind * I* was a battle in which a Darlington tiHtn. one of the best seen on a C.trmb-n cridiroti in many years, really h.nl the !< ? i! fans worried, especially when the invaders ranc up the iniscore of (he fracas in the first c.ime The Hiirniog centry breathed a-mr in the second quarter when the locals t o*d up the count. A scoreless third period in which the tide of battle ebbed and flowed was followed by the winning touchdown in the final quarter. * Tonight the Bulldogs take on the Brookland-Cavce team and from all we hear from the camp of the B-C gang, the team this year is regarded as the best in the school's history. Camden will rtmlly b* extended to tuke (he visitors tonight and we rr*diet ? rip-roartng evening of thrills. ? ? While doing u little build-up on (hie fooibftll program, *? naturally want to stress the game, which, we regard an the peak ttcrap on the seahoii h schedules of the the Camden and Sumter teuma -that of next Friday night, October 2. when the Oameiiirku come here to try to check the winning march of the Bulldogs. ? Thl* corner has witnessed some outstanding grid games, but the Camden-Sumter battles . pack more real intensity of emotion and thrills than anything we Imve ever witnessed. The game of October 2, should 111J Kemp stadium, for we have been advised that the Sumter fans are coining over en-masse to root for their Gamecock laddies. A,nd of course, Camden folks will lock up their homes and make the grid stadium their mecca that evening. ? Football fans hereabouts will recall Stan Stasica. the Rock ford, 111., lad who was outstanding in South Carolina football last season. Stan left school to enter the army and was sent to Camp Grant. I>ast Saturday Stan played with the Camp Grant team against Wisconsin University and It | was his fumble on his own 12-yard | line that gave the Badgers their scoring opportunity, which they quickly capitalized on, to win, 7 to 0. * ? I Wallace Wade, former Duko Men- j tor. borught bis army team to Milwaukee while I was there to meet the | Green Bay Packers. The Packers , passing duo, Cecil Isbel and Don Hut- j son, proved too much for the Wade j team?Green Bay winning 36 to 7. 1 i Wade declared to sporting writers In the Marquette stadium press box , that the Isbel-Hutson combination i was the greatest In football history j and he did not see how It was possl- i ble for another to be as good. i j Jolting John Klmbrough, who Is the spear-head of the Wade team, was | helpless before the lacker offense, \ although he did get away for a 95 run- ; hack of a kickoff to give the army ] team a touchdown. i m m Remember Eddie Stakney, that pug- | nat ions inflelder with the Macon team , of the Sally league for several years. ( I saw Stankey make a $5,000 error in , a Milwaukee-Kansas City game which ; gave the Western Association gon-L falon to the K. C. team. Milwaukee ( had the game won and the pennant . in their grasp when Stankey dropped , a ball which was an almost certain double"play affair. K. C. scored two runs and took a lead that gave them j the game and the pennant. But Eddie is the idol of the Milwaukee fans. They gave him a wrist w stt h. diamond ring and $100 defense ( bond that afternoon he made the bo- ( n?T He led the Western Association in hatting and was voted the out- , standing player in the loop this year. 1 Eddie married the daughter of my ' good friend Milton Stock. Macon club . owner and manager. ] 1 Aft'-r seeing several of the professional football teams in action and studying the scores of others. I think ] the Chicago Bears are tops and should . win the world title again this year. The Packers of Green Bay with Isbel and Hutson are second In my estimation and may upset the Bears. The Washington Redskins are third. The | rest of the pro teams are just football teams. , ? t By the way. you South Carolina fans will be Interested to know that Larry Craig is going great guns with the Packers. In the game against the Wallace Wade team, Craig was at quarter nearly all the play time and called the signals. Curley Lambeau, who Is a friend of long standing with this writer has lots of fine words for the South Carolina lad. The real hero of that game was a big fellow named Fritsch. who halls from a comparative unknown teacher college at Stevens Point. Wis.; who did most of the scoring for the Packers in that game. Tho rail birds snickered and even the sport writers grunted "wot-theell" when they heard Frltseh's name announced in the Packer lineup. "Never heard of the guy," said one of the big shot writers. He knows a lot about the Stevens Point boy now. Give Bernie Bierman, former Minnesota coach, a bunch of players and he'll turn out a winning football team. Bierman is in the navy now and has been handling the physical education program at the naval cadet school at Iowa City. Iowa. He took his team to I^awrance. Kansas, last Saturday to play Kansas University and when the smoke cleared away he had won a ball game 61 to 0. Bulldogs Battle Back to Win 13 to 6 A light but smart Bulldog squad scored a 13-6 triumph over un ag gressive and scrappy Darlington high school team at Zemp Stadium Friday evening before u cheering crowd of aeverul hundred Camden rooters. The Darlington team, one of the best to play on a Camden field in many years, scored first, putting over a touchdown in the first quarter to take a 6 0 lead over the Camden Hulldog aggregation. On the very first play of the game a Darlington player rau the klekoff back 35 yards, on the next play a pass attempted was incomplete,. The second play, a cutback over center sent Darlington into pay dirt. The conversion failed. In the secoipl quarter the Bulldogs thundered hack to tie up the account, Hilly Waters passing from the Camden 40 to tho Darlington 30 with Jack Boykin on the receiving end. This watt followed by a single reverse with Boykin taking the ball In from the 2 yard line to where it was carried over for a touchdown. A line plunge for the extra point failed. The third quarter went scoreless but In the fourth and final period a series of spinner plays carried the ball to the Darlington 25 yard line from whore Boykin on a reverse play went all the way for a touchdown. On Friday night, September 25, the Bulldogs play Brookland-Cayce team here at Zeitip Stadium. The fine gridiron spirit that was offered last Friday has aroused the Camden fans to a realization that the history of many previous years when Camden football prestige has been outstanding In the Palmetto State, gives promise of being again in the gridiron spot light. The 1942 team, while light, possesses the football Instinct which has been predomlnent in Camden football performance for many years. The team plays smart, alert, and aggressive football and should hang up * fine record this season. The peak game of the year Is scheduled for Friday, October 2, when the Sumter Gamecocks invade Zemp Stadium, The intense rivalry which prevails between Camden and Sumter is productive of record crowds yearly and despite the gas and rubber restrictions it is believed that the game on October 2, here will find grandstand and bleachers, as well as the side lines jammed to capacity. So important is this game to the fans of Camden and Sumter, that a victory means more to either team than any other contest on the respective schedules. ?
