It will be sbmethlng of an snni- Tersary affair—for it will mark the SSrd birthday of the grid sport in the Camden high school history. For a fact—football was first introduced to the fans here back in 1894 and it wasn’t Just one team, but two that performed be- ^fore the excited populace. One was known‘as the Athenians and the other the Spartans. That first year of the sport, games were play* ed between these two teams, and thik rlralry, old timers, recollect, ran high. In 1896 the first intercity game was plficed and the Gibbes Green team of Columbia was the oppo sition outfit History relates that Camden was giren a crushing de feat, but the boys got the exper* ience that comp^ition glres and they profited by it This writer has always hoped for a chance to sit down with Sam DePass. school of Journalism head at the state unlrersity, and chat OTsr the football era of a half cen tury back. For. Hr. DePass was a member of that ea^ly day team, and history records that he later became a football star at the slate unirendty. Then another old timer that brought fame to Qamden was Sid Smi^, who later went to Wof ford whOTe he starred in baseball and football. Incidentally Sid Smith coached the first footMl team at The Citadel and he also played baseball in tho major leagues. Other names that are recalled are Charley Brown, Paul Villepigue, who was a brother of John Villo ptgue, who put Camden on the foot ban map in later years.

Many of the abore named liare passed on. but those who are still alire chmish the memories of the old days and many of them make it a point to gather at the stadium to watch the present crop of grid athletes perform. Coach Lindsey Pierce, who will again lead the Bulldogs as coach, has 11 games already lined, up for the coming season and he may make it an eren dosen by schedul ing a turkey day game for Norem- ber 97, away from home. As the schedule 'now stands Camden opens with Bishopville on September 12, and followed on the 19th with a game here with Dreher high from Columbia. Sumter will be host to the Bulldogs on September 28. and then fdllows two home' games, the first with HartsTille on October S, and the second with Florence on October 10. On October 17 the team rolls to Charleston, but returns on October 24 to battle Chestw here. Darlington plays here October 81. Brookland-Cayce will be met at West Columbia on Norembm* 7 and on Norember 14 the team goes to Lancaster. On Norember 21 Spar tanburg plays here. Pierce expects to take his entire football squad to the North Caro lina camp for a period of training and recreation. This has been a cus tom for some 3rears and it is not expected there will be any change this year. Tracks Ruining; Football Field; Protest Is Made The school trustees hare de- lirered an ultimatum to the base ball club anent the use of the foot ball area for trucks carrying soft drinks, etc., to the ball park, to the effect that unless the trucks refrain from trareling orer the football playing field, that the area will be barred to them. Supt J. G. Richards stated that he had made protest against the trucks using the football field three times and yet the practice con tinues The baseball field along the right field line was cut up Sunday when a group of negro ball players from Shaw Field ran their jeep truck orer the grass, cutting ruts in the surfacs It would appear that unless the property can be respected, that all trucks and automobiles should be barred from the surface of the two fields M.
