On Saturday nigbu 1 always enjoy a hockey game. • • • • No kidding folks. 'Tis a fact. Every Friday night yoa can get the very beat in prias ring action by tuning In oh Madison Square Carden. Or if you prefer basketball, you can usually pick up a Fort Wayne station, or porkapo one in Chicago that puts on on# of thosa sonsationai Big Ten gamaa. And on Saturday night *110 no task at all to pick up a game In the National Hockey league. m m lt*s fan. A pipe, an easy chair and the radio.

Is hereby given that on Mon day, the Ifth of February at 10 A. M.. there will be a meeting of the share holders of Palmetto Dry Cleaners. Inc St the offices of Henry Savage. Jr., Attorney In Camden.

Janaary If, 1»4S 44 Skipper's Desk By the way—speaking of basketball. There is a team up at Flat Rock or some place with a funny name like that, near Kershaw, that has been jing great guns. That outfit wants to take on the Central Highs of Char lotte. The Flat Rockers have not been defeated this season and their oppon ents have not been pushovers either. Over In Btshopvilte the Oragoim really dragging their opponents over the boards In a reckieaa manner. The Dragons have taken on the Florence Air Base and Shaw Field and have really put on a claaey show. • • • • Paging Julian Ewtng'a Rotarlans. Over In Bisboprille the BishopviUe Rotes are playing the Americab I^egion In a basketball game and the proceeds go toward a Memorial Sta dium fund. If my memory serves me light President J. C. E^wing was him self a player of ability with the Ken dall team a few years ago. I know because 1 used to watch him in ac tion. Now there certainly most be s few young men In the Rotary clnb who could get out and stagger around a basketball court. How about a game between Rotary and Kiwanls club teams. It sure would pack the gym. • • • • The proceeds, net 1 may add, of the S. C-N. C. Shrine gama at Charlotte last December amounted to $12,500. It was the largest sum yet produced for the Shrine hoepital since the all-«tar game waa Inetituted. WhaPe the rea son. The answer—•John Villcpigue." • • • And may I say that It took courage to sit out In C^t Charlotte stadium that afternoon for it was cold-^really cold. If tbd weather had been'sunny the stadium would have been jammed to capacity. _ • • • I repeat—H was John Villepigue that was the big magnet. People all over the mid-eouth If not the entire south have heard of Villepigue’e coaching ability—have heard of the fine teams that have featured his coaching career. The dope In the Shrine game gave an edge to the huskies of the Tarheel squad. Could John Villepigue’s skill make the lighter Palmetto team a threat? • • • • Brother—that ain’t the half of, It. Those spectators up there in the Charlotte stadium would have seen some real hippei-dipper, dooty-dalsy malsie-dotsey football if the ground had been dry. The slippery, greasy surface of the football field slowed down the electric offensive of hte V’illepigue-coached South Carolina team.
