tfA r ^ •' *' rv TMl OAIIMII OMWOWICLl, CAiiPiH •OtfTM CAMOUilA, FIMDAY, JANUAWY 4, tfH Frwm th« Skipper's Desk j; One thins we must say about *‘Doc*' Blancluu^, the nationis No. 1 colleg' iate football star, the fact that he has been placed in the sport spotlight and giren a full-sited ballyhoo in press and magazines, does not seem to hare gireo him the swellhead. • • • • The Camden grid fans who met the famous cadet star at the banquet gir- en in his honor by the service clubs of Bishopvllle were impressed with his modesty. • • • • The speakers at the banquet from OoTenuH* Ransome Williams down, really poured it on. And through it all Blanchard sat and took the broad sides in a most unassuming manner and with marked reserve. • • • • Well, sport fans, if everything goes Jake and plans now being matte are carried through, Camden is going to have high school baseball. Junior Legion baseball and then during the summer months, semi pro baseball. • • • • This should be good news to every baseball fan in Camden and Kershaw county. A diamond program will cer tainly go a long way toward relieving the monotony of the long hot summer period. • • • • The citizens sport committee hopes td have lights installed at the ball park. We believe that night bcuseball '^would go over big in Camden. Wo be lieve the take at the gate for a semi- pro schedule of games would come close to taking care of light installa tion. • • • • It is to be hoped that the citizens sport committee will continue to be active in the baseball and football program and not let what looks like a fine start fizzle out as most effmts of this kind in Camden have done in Hop ivwiiea and girls get parted1^ from funeitonni portoJte potn f^RDll! the past The old saw relative to . a new broom sweeping clean sure fits a lot of Camden activities. We hope that the sports committe will not let the broom fall apart. • • • • Now that M. B. Burns. David Will iams and a few of the leaders in polo activity of a few years back are in the community again, we hope we will have some polo in February. • • e • No news as yet as to the plans for the Carolina cup classic. We have an appointment with Harry Klrkover soon and have a hunch this venerable leader of the equestrain ranks here abouts will be able td give us some information on the hoped for program ' ■qt horse shows, cup races, etc. • • • • Speaking of bangtail events, the 1946 Kentucky derby will be run off at Churchill Downs, Louisville, on May 4. The added stake has been in creased from 176.000 to flOO.OOO. J • • • • Believe it or not, the “bowl” event in Camden did not want for attention of fans, both men as well as the gentler sex. The Camdmi “Bowl” event took place in lovely Kamschat- ka Saturday evening and featured some delicious punch served with huge silver ladels from cut glass bowls. • • • • 'Yes slre-e-e-e. The fans remained until the final whistle, or shall we say wail of the saxaphone and tinkle of the piano mixed with the rat-tat- tat of the traps. • e • • Listened on the radio last Saturday to the play by play account of the North-South football classic at Mont gomery, Ala. Played before a record crowd of 20,000 fans the game was a victory for the Blue team, the score being: Blue 26, Grays 0. It was a rude upset for the prognisticators who had forecast an easy win for the Boys in Gray.
