Already the moaietery featnre of the local maiket is oloee to half a million dollars.

This year Harding has a mnch heav ier and tougher outfit than tboee representing the Tarheel school In pest yeera. Taking the weights of the Camden regnlara againat the reported seeling of the Charlotte playen, the vldton will outweigh Cm^en by an average of 20 pounds to a man and in aeveral instances this difference win be cloeer to SO ponnda. That is a big huito of beef to eoneede to an opponent %ad give it a lot of pep and dash it is bound to be a big factor in deciding e grid battle. All of the Camden players came through the Brookland-Cayce game without serious InJnry, although as In all opening garnea, the boys packsd a lot of sore musriee and scratchaa. Jtfgs Parker who waa Injured whsn struck In ths head during a mlxap *and who had to retire from last Fri day’s game la the third period, has recovered and will be on the Job to night Both teams enter this game with an undefeated record.

Both of bis reserve tacklee. Van McLeod and Bob by Horton, are out with injuries, the former for the season aa the result of a fractured limb. Horton has a broken nose, sustained in the Brook- land-Cayce game and will be out for aeveral weeks. The Camden players sre in shape for tbe grueling battle that la bound to result from a clash between two outstanding high sdiool footbaU with the reputation of having plenty of heft and lots of speed. From Charlotte comes word that the Hard ing technique wUl feetore an aerial attack. In the Brookland-Cayoe gaipe Camden did not resort to toe aerial route at any time during the game, but Brookland-Cayce resorted le pas- frequently. Againat the regxdacp Canoden powerhoused to a 89 to It win over Brookland-Cayce Highs last Friday night at Zemp field before a crowd of cloee to 8,000 spectators, the largest crowd to tee an opening grid battle in Camden history. Led by “Batterin’ Carol Cox.” the Bulldogs roared to a 39 to 0 lead after three periods of action. In the last quartsr, the visitors wars quick to grasp the softening of the Camden de- fenae through the injection of e flock of reserves Into the lineup, and staged' two beantitui aerials to rack up two touchdowns and a conversion. With grandstand and bleachers weU tilled and with hundreds of spectu- tors three deep along the boundary wires, the Solldogs kept their adher- ants in smiles through some nice ac tion. In the vaat aasemblage within the grid arena were delegetiona of players and camp foUowers from Sum ter, Florenoe^ HartsvUIe, Columbia and Orangeburg, ell future colliders with the Camden machine. With Wright of Wofford as referee, DeHlfane of Lenoir-Rhyne as umpire and Jelks of Wake Forest ae head linesman, the game got under way at 1:25 with Camden kicking off. ^pe of B.-C. took the ban on the 10 yard liae and lugged it back to the IS. Held thfire lur Ikn Jdraden line,. B.-C. punted to the Camden 20. Parker tnaged the hell and toted it back 80 yards to the B.-C. SO. Teem then oarried the mall and raced to the 15 and from that point McKay Norris romped 16 yards into pay dirt. The effort at conversion via the ahr route, faUed. In less than five minutee Ted Mar. shall Intercepted a B.-C. pass on thehr 26 yard atrip and ran It back to the 19. Here Cra ceme into the picture and dashed Into pay dirt The ploage for the extra point failed. In the eeoond period Cox intercept- ed a past on the Camden 80. When Brookland-Cayce stiffened and held for downs, Parker went beck to kick. He fumbled the pese from center. On the next play however Parker made amends for the fumble hy racing 86 yards to the B.-C. 40 and on the next play broke loose i from another nin that earrled him Into pay dirt. Cox converted on an off tackle play. In the third period and on the first scrimmage play Cox took the ball and galloped 70 yards for a score. Norris’ try for tbe extra point failed. In less than a few minutes Cox was away again for a 46 yard scoring dssb. This time Norris converted on a spinner through the line. The next scoring pk^r came -after Red- Jennings had- lugged tbe leather 45 yards to the 8 yard line. After three battering drives which netted exactly two and a half yards, Ted MarahaU rammed into the line and over for a touchdown. Jen nings passed for the extra point The fourth period found Coach Pierce sending in a bevy of reserves..
