I In my talks with experts since the

Edwin Pope, sport writer of an
Athens, Ga., newspaper, has the fol
lowing interesting story on Bryant A.
Cox, better known to Camden fans as
Dickie Cox, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Cox, Mill street, whp is one of the
many members of the Cox family to
win fame as athletes.
Dickie, it seems, played on the
Georgia 1943 football team but is now
^dergolng draining-at Camp liejetmBr “
CT Here is what Pope has to say
about Dickie:
"Letters from Dickie to this sport
base, say he is enjoying every minute
of it (meaning his training at Camp
Lejeune) but is looking forward to
the time when she will be really in
the thick of it, and those who know
him will vouch for the* authenticity
of that statement. For, in the red
and black garb of a University of
Georgia grldder, Cox was always
right in the middle of the fight, right
where it was thickest.
"Dickie is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
James C. Cox, 12il Mill street. Cam-
den, S. C. His brother, Hugh (Shot)
Cox, ex-Unlverslty of North Carolina
gridiron standout, has been offered a
contract to play football for the Green
Bay Packers, Scouts say that "Shot’s"
build and ruggedness should enable
him to stack up equally against any
man In the pro league.
"Hugh is now in Marine O, C. S. at
Qnantico, Va. The younger Cox
battled Youngstown George Oaraslc
for the left guard spot all season, the
duo dividing playing time at the post.
After the season he was a candidate
for the Georgia basketball team and
would have seen plenty of action ha^
he not gone into the Marines.
" 'I wouldn’t swap the training
period I went through under Coach
Butts for anything in the world right
now. You'll never know how much
that conditioning he gave me helped
me and all the others who went into
the service In or after the footb^
season. It would be nice if we could
all come back after the war and play
football together,’ writes Dickie."

Mrs. Agnes W. Heckett, whose hus

been spending her winters at CJharles-
toa until last season, when unable to
secure suitable accommodations in
the port city, she came to Camden.
Mrs. Haqkett left Camden April 20.
but before she left she sat down arid
wrote a letter, which was In the na
ture of an “auf Widersehen’* to Cam
den. 'The lettw says in part;
I "Goodbye Camden! I am going
