The only defeat sustained Not only have the Cox brothers been outstanding players on the Cam den high school football team, but each of the three. Hugh (Shot), Dickie and Carol all have played on a South Carolina team In the Shrine bowl game. . Hugh (Shot) Cox was a member of the South Carolina all-stars in 1939. Dickie donned the Palmetto State uni- forpi in the Shrine game of 1943. and now Carol, sensational running back of the 1944 state champion Camden high school, will be in action in the 1944 classic. Coincidentally all three Cox broth ers were Shrine bowl players in their 17th year. Hugh Cox is now a lieutenant in the United States Marines. Dickie is Pierce DUbendd the Bulldogs When Mullins Pulls In Its Homs. After waiting a week to hear from the Mullins high school football coach regarding a game between the Cam den and Mullins high--school football teams, Coach Lindsay Pierce on Sun day, Just prior to his departure for Charoltte where he was acting in an advisory capacity to the coaching staff of the South Carolina all-star tea^, j^eadying the Sandlappers for Saturday’s engagement with the Tar heel all-stars, stated that the atataj champion Cktaden Bulldogs have dis banded for the season. Pierce stated that he addressed the following offer to Coach Cox of the Mullins team Just a week ago Mon day; “To play Mullins a game on Friday, Dec. 8, at 8 p. m. in Sumter. ’The winner to take the total gate receipts and pay the expenses of the loser and other expenses of the game. The officials to be Southern Conference and agreed upon by Mullnis and Cam den. I stipulate Sumter as a site for the game becauso it is the nearest place to both teams h&vt&f ~ facilities private first class. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cox, residing at 1211 Mill street, are the proud parents of the three football stalwarts. There are two other children in the Cox family, Margaret, an attractive blonde who Is a student at Columbia college at Columbia, and Jimmy, age 13, who will become a freshman in the Cam den High school next year. Jimmy of the same sturdy and rugged build of his brothers and the parents be- lieve he will be another outstanding football player when be dons the black and gold of the Camden Bulldog team. America’s Liberty bell has been ex hibited 9t three fairs. It was at Chicago in 1893, at Sf. Louis in 1904 and made its last appearance in San FfincTsco in 19ir ' ' of seating the crowd Dr. Bulock an ticipates will attend. I will appre ciate your answer to this suggestion promptly, as I will have to keep my team'in shape for two weeks after our regular schedule is complete in order to play this game." Pierce did not receive an acknowl edgement of his letter to Coach Cox. The Dr. Bullock referred to in bis letter is the president of the Cham ber of Commerce at Mullins and was responsible for a news story in the press regarding the superiority bf two Mullins backs over Camden’s sensa tional Carol Cox. Dr. Bullock has also been silent on the Pierce letter, a copy of which had been sent to him. And so, the last chapter of the 1944 edition of the Camden Bulldogs has been written. And what a record EHeven games won. none lost, none tied. The schedule brought the Bull dogs into competition with some of the best and most powerful teams in the state, Including Sumter, Ch,<«rlea- ton and Florence. It was the first Clasa A championship for Camden and put Camden’s coach, Lindsay Pierce, on a high pedeetal of achievement. We say in all sincerity that we hope Lind say Pierce will ^ the guiding band of the 1945 Bulldogs—but we predict that he will be in demand by high schools in the larger centers. Mullins Waits Until Bulldogs Have Disbanded And Now They Eagofiy Vote To Play the Bulldoga. Following the announcement in the press of the mid-south that the Cam den Bulldogs had disban^d for the season, after'waiting a week to hear from the management of the Mullins htyh school In the matter of a post season game, the Mullins team have agreed to meet the Bulldogs, but de mand a 50-60 split in the gate re ceipts. The Mullins coach states be did not receive the Camden letter in which Coach Pierce agreed to play Dec. 8 at Sumter and stated his terms, which called for winner to take all and pay the expenses of the opposing team. Either this sUtement is an alibi or the mail service in Mullins has be come stagnanL for Pierce sent his let ter to the Mullins coach early in the week. The fact that the Mullins agree- ment with Its alternate _terms as to the disposal of the receipts came only after the announcement that the Cam den team had disbanded, indicates the tobacco auction squad took good care they, wbnld not have to meet the state champions. (3oach Pierce of the Camden team, is now in Charlotte and could not be reached as to his reaction to the latest gesture from the Mullins sector. TI^WiF “I LOSV 52 Lbt.!
