Ministers Plead For Quiet Christmas (Continued from first page) churches on Christmas Kve have also suffered. The ministers contend there are other reasons for the discontinuance of the practice. One involves the matter of patriotism and attention Is called to the fact, tliat our country is at war and the government has asked the public not to buy and use explosives hut to put money to better uses such as buying stamps and bonds. Attention is also called to the fact that under the provisions of the zoning ordinance the keeping nf such explosives in any case or window of any building in the business district is prohibited. The ministers refines: the rigid enforcement of this ordinance and also the passage of a hirther ordinance banning the sale ; ?mt use of such things within the j i'y limit s UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE j I u BE HELD AT EETHESOA Tin- Annual Tiroii Thanksgiving I r'rTT- . vCMI ~l?. ln ld Thuisdav inol n-1 OIL* N'llO mill r I' s mi I e|oi k III j 'he lie' hes11,t l'i ? liytei ian church, j The lie as age will he delivered by the 111 \* \Vi!licc Kdwirds.

Month) Forty-eight years Is a long span, in fart. short oi halt a century by two years. Set. that represents the length of time Camden has maintained a regular football schedule every fall. For it was hack in ISJM when I.. 'I' Maker, now Dean of the faculty ?>t the I'iiiveisily of South Carolina was couching a football team. We had two squads for strictly intra mural names for the llrst year," said Dean Maker in discussing the INiM football era with the writer. "You notice in the picture, banner with an 'A." The "A" stands for Athenians, as the two squads adopted the names of Athenians and Spartans. In the second year the Athenians played their llrst name with a team in Columbia known as the (iihhes (Ireen team. I remember that Camden suffered a decisive defeat, but not their needed experience." Mark In those days, almost half a century ano. football was played on a field near the corner of Laurens and Broad streets, now known as .Monument Square. The football area was located south of where the Dineinsou monument now stands and was bordered bv Broad and Laurens streets and the property of Mrs. Kminie McLauchlin. That field was probably not renulation in size and perhaps not as level as fields are todav. but it served the purpose of its day. It is interesting to learn that tint first field ever used in Camden #was located in the area hack of what is now the Kpiscopal rectory and took in the property now occupied by the Mortimer Midler home and the Sarratt home on Lyttleton street and extended to the rear end of the properly occupied by the home of Mrs. Harry Marvin and where the home of Finest Zemp is now located on Fair street. The first game ever played in Camden is reported to its ve been played on that field on Thanksgiving day. Later the polo field was used for football and perhaps one of the first invading teams, the Lancaster high team played a game against Camden on Christmas day afternoon. It is interesting to note that while Camden was never rated as a community of great wealth at that time, a large number of the football players of that day entered college. ()tie of the rare incidents of early day foot ha 11 in Camden occurred during a game between Camden and j Darlington One of the Darlington pia\e|s It.iii b <>k'u It m is* ami w us oil Ins wnv to a touchdown when Hunte_r l1a.tij?..__a_ former Camden player i ml there th;it day as a spectator. i o i (| out on the field and despite the fact ihat he had on a new suit and overcoat and the field was a sea of mud. made a flying tackle and downed the speeding Darlington warrior It is said that this was the first time in South Carolina football history that a twelfth man figured in the game Hunter Lang, hv the way. is a brother-in-law of Dean Baker and now lives in Columbia. It is interesting to note that in the picture of the Athenian team. Coach Baker is not In evidence, but another present day I'niversity professor. Sam Del'ass. ran lie seen in tile rear row. being the player holding the banner with the "A" upon It. When Coach Baker took charge of the football coaching of the Caind"it talent, he had the knowledge of ihe technique of the game that he had picked up when playing as a scrub for Vunderbllt university, w here he was a student for a yoar and a half Dean Baker taught in the Camden school for several years, then w ent to Lancaster and eventually 11? the Mount /.ion Institute at I Whinsl>oro llo dually bocamo Won1 with the M'ully '?

He is now , engaged In missionary work in China. I On the football squad at the time i the picture was taken, but not appearing in the photograph, because, of being engaged in wandering about, and ?ight-seeing the wonder of the) state capital, were: J.

Carrison of the Commori ial Hank of Camden. Jordan Carrison played toot ball at Sewaueo alid ranked as one of their outstanding players. He is now residing in Jacksonville. Florida. Dean S. C. DePass of the School of Journalism of the University of Sou t h Carolina. in discussing the age-old photograph of Camden's first football team, recalls many interesting episodes of that time. Dean DePass in speaking of the coaching of Dean Raker said that many of tho plays that he taught the players were the same so-called "'trick plays" used by Coach lleisman at Clemson in l??00. And Dean DePass declares that he still believes that Coach Heisman was one of the greatest football mentors America ever produced. "You understand." said Dean DoPass '"that this was before?long before the present rules of the game were adopted. "The Flying Wedge." with the ball-carrier in the center, was then quite effective groundgainer. It was a line-buckin play and was considered so dangerous that it eventually was barred.. Many players were seriously injured. Many players were seriously injured when this play was used with a heavy back field running interference. There were a number of other plays like line-hurdling, fake passing, the hidden ball trick and others not generally used today. 'Our school stfsxl on the present site of the Camden high school just west of the Episcopal church. The playing field?and it was just a field, was back of the old rectory several blocks north, and extended about a block from Lyttleton street east. Frequently we practiced on moonlight nights on Monument Square. We had games with Columbia, Sumter. Lancaster and other towns, and I recall our first, game in Columbia. Thai must have been the time the photo was taken. All of those you mention were members of the team, but I can recall but three positions on the squad. Bill Young was center, Sid Smith was full back and I played at quarter back. Sid Smith was probably the most outstanding player. Later at the University of South Crolina (in l'J02) he plaved in the backfield on the team which defeated Clemson after many years of unbroken victories by the up-state team."
