A' majority of tho sport writers who
were ^th«red In the press box at the
South Carolina stadium last week for
the South Carolina^lemson game ex
pressed the opinion that the weather
man was the beat player that Clemson
had in iu lineup, that had the weather
been sunny and the field dry, the
aerial offensive of the Gamecocks
would have clicked and there would
have been a different story so far as
the result Is concerned.

There is one good football fan In
Camden who doesn’t ^Ink.that way,
Tom Ancrum, who Is an ardent Clem-

best team, Irrespective of weather

Vfe wonder Just how those chapa'

we suggested a state title game as a
charity affair at Melton Field between
Camden and the oatstanding team si
the upper state area?

We baVe an idea that the thought
uppermost in the minds of these
followers was “Why not Columbia?"

That Idea was Jolted out of their

when a Gamecock eleven rose to su

the Sumter-Columbla game appearing
In a Columbia paper last Saturday. If
anyone can tell us Just what the story

read “With the score tied Nussinceeth

Sumter spi^t writers and fans are
delirious with joy over the victory of
the Gamecocks in the tilt with Co
lumbia. One of the sport writers In
describing the game said in part; "It
is doubtful if any team in the state,
including Camden, could have stop
ped the Gamecocks.

editor of the State refers to thw Cepe’
defeat as being "Aimoet unbelievable

If those Columbia folks think the
Sumter defeat was bad, it is a mighty

We suggested to Columbia news
son total of touchdowns to 14 by scor
ing two in the Friday engagement.
This gives him a total of 84 points
for the six gam^s this season.
The game bad scarcely started when
the Bulldogs' annexed . their first
score, Cox going off tackle on the
third play of the game,to ramble 40
yards into the end zone, Norris added
the extra point by crashing through
on a line buck. In the second quarter
both tedms scored. Cox. hung np bis
second couiiter for the Bulldogs by
hawks that a title gamevbelween Cauh
den and the outstanding team in the
upper state area would be a honey
of a drawing card at Melton Field in
the State capltki. We suggested that
it be made a charity affair, similar
to the Shrine game at Charlotte, N. C.

In the third period Captain Jiggs

M. Norris scored on a spinner from
the 12 yard line* and in the final
garter Anderson went two yards into

A crowd that pack-jammed every
available aeat in the large stands and
bleachers at the Sumter football field
saw a Gaiirerock eleven rise- to su
preme heights to down a stubborn
Columbia Caps team Friday night by
a score of 25 to 13.
Several score of Camden fans were
in evidence in the huge throng and
Camden several weeks ago when the
scoreboard read 25 to 14.
The Gamecocks struck paydirt three
times HI the second period and the
big crowd did everything but tear
down the stands and bleachers in a
delirium of joy. All three were of the
lightning bolt ‘type but the fourth,
which came in the final quarter, was
accomplished only after a sustained
drive.
It was the first defeat for Columbia
by a South Carolina team and leaves
the Camden High school team as the
omy undefeated “big league" team In
the lower part of the state to have a
clear slate.
