Cage Season To
iOpeu With Sumter
The Camden High school basket
ball program will be ushered in at
the local gymnasium on the evening
of January 14, when the Sumter
war Is being blamed for a
great many unusual happenstances-^
the upsetting of numerous established
institutions and a confusing inter
mingling of others.
And thereby hangs a .most unusual
tale of the hunted, pursuing and
hunter. And it concerns F. M.
(Bucky) Rh'odes of Kansas City and
Camden.
Bucky”—be got that name from
his college days, is an arden sports
man. In fact., he lives out of doors
at his winter home in Camden or his
summer hom'e at Martha’s Vineyard
In Massachusetts. Up there in the
New England area “Bucky” has for
many years stalked the deer for that
is great deer bunting territory. As
a matter of fact, Bucky has hunted
over that- terrain for a gene^ion or
more and knows every busF an^^Tfee
in the area.
How Bucky escaped with his life
from the predatory designs of a band
stt wild, animals 4s w nine-day wonder
up In Martha’s Vineyard. To all ap-
pearancetf the beasts of the forest had
staged a Casablanca conference and
determined that Bucky must be liqui
dated if the wild, life of the sector
was to continue. For didn’t this man

The task of doing away with Bucky
fell to a lean hungry looking deer.
And so It was that when Bucky and
his wife were driving home along a
Cape highway, the deer suddenly
leaped out from the roadside. There
was a crash as deer and car met. 'The
!iead of the animal ascassin crashed
through a window of shatter proof
glass. The flying hind legs crashed
the glass of another window. But the
occupants of tb© car were unscathed.
And when the deer, having extricated
himself from the car, found that bis
missoin had failed, he stepped on his
own accellerator and sped away.
Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes escaped injury,
but the car looked as if it had been
