Address Of course, that Is not the proper spirit. There is considerable expense involved In the Carrying out of a foot ball schedule and the athletic group needs the money to meet these ex penses. So let’s help the football pro gram by turning out in force tonight and at all of the remaining games on the schedule. We shudder to think what might happen should ,a player collide with one of these iriarkers. W’e have* an idea that any Injury could be made the basis for a successful damage suit. w The biggest upset in last Saturdjsy’s football picture waa the 13 to f3 tie game between Army alid Pennsyl vania. Notre Dame lived up to the dope by routing Navy 33 to 3. MIchU gan tarroped Minnesota A2. to 3, Duke nosed out Georgia JTecH 14 to 7, while tn Palmetto high ranks Sumter de feated Brookland-Cayce_ 27 to 0 and Cblumbrr-^ipr defeated Benedictine of Savsnnah-40-±o_Z- B • • • And while doing this.week’s fault finding, we would like to call atten tion to the condition of the bleachers along the east side of .the stadium. Many of the boards have rotted out and present a dangerous hazard. What under the sun is the reason equip ment like this is permitted to de- terioate so? It is far more economical to keep the place in repair. Sport writers ail ov^r the nation give ladder-top honors to ’Notre Dafne with .Army and Pennsylvania in a sec- I ond place tie and Michigan next in ' line. • « When Notre Dame plays Army to morrow, the Irish will be without their ace, Angelo Bertilli, who is now in the service. Don’t forget to tune in on this game of games Saturday. The Camden Bulldogs, after a woozy start last Friday, really got rolling and trampled over the Cnes- ter Cyclones 33 to 0, Coach Pierce used his second stringers aln^ost en tirely In the second half. Had the first Une continued the route the visi tors would have'^gone down under an avalanche of touchdowns. f By the way, that Lake View High team that spanked Sumter had its hopes for a 100 per cent season blast- t.d by a surprising Bennettsville High team by a 13'to 6 score. From where we are sitting a game between Cam den and Bennettsville on Turkey Day would be a fine bit of dessert for Cam den sport fans. We venture to say that the old stadium would be jam med.

' Between the two teams, seven fumbles occurred In this period^ Not one however result ed in a score, although Camden was robbed of two splendid opportunities. During the game exactly eleven fum bles were checked. Camden fumbled seven times as against four errors on the part of the visitors. Two of the Camden fumbles were recovered. • • • s Tonight Hartsvllle comes here for a tilt with .the rushing Bulldogs. A Our suggestion to Coach Lindsay Pierce that the Camden, Florence game be moved up from Friday night to Thursday Nov, 11, was greeted with a big huzzah by the Camden grid mentor. All stores, business houses and professional offices as well at city and county offices are closing on Armistice day afternoon, which would mean a packed house for the Florence game. Florence rates about the toughest proposition the Bulldogs have met this season. Can you imagine the turnout that would greet such an afternoon of entertainment next Thursday if the shift can be arrang ed? Ah me! them wuz the happy days.

In other years that day ha^ been dedi cated to the memory of die men who gave their lives in World War I. But this* year we believe those honored dead would rather joii^ with us, the living, in paying honor to the men of another generation who have taken up the weapons that fell from- their lifeless hands. This year we in this community are asked to observe Armistice Day not with words but with deeds. iTiis yeaf we haVe a special re sponsibility. This Armistice Day marks the beginning of a new drive to make up the shortage in pulp- wood. Everyone who can possibly do so is asked to cut an extra cord in honor of some friend or relative in the service. * *^Ciit-a*Cord^* * Victory ' --'.“WOOD CAMPAIGN NEWSPAPER PULPWOOD COMMITTEE There are two good reasons for putting the drive on this basis, . " • First, it takes i^early a ton of pulp wood to supply each man in the service with the many things l>e needs. ^ Second, th^present pulpwood shortage, million cords, is just about equal to th^ num ber of service men who come from the pulp- wood-producing areas. So if every one of us in this and other pulp- wood-cutting communities cuts an extra cord fpr our service man, the emergency will be met. No fighting man will lack any of the thousand-and-one war essentials that are made from pulpwood. f No boy shall die because we failed.
