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

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.

30.0 acres and $79.00 damage, and

The ranger in speaking of this
splendid record, says It is true the

a major part in making this record

able forests.
