there was not an untoward inci

Tapstick Hunting
For Rabbits In
South Described
Throughout the South this
fall and winter, on the sedge-
covered hills and cotton-fur
rowed bottoms of many plan
tations, civilization's most
primitive form of hunting
will provide sport for youths
and game for family larders.
Tapstick hunting, as de
scribed by Henry P. Davis in
the September issue of the
“Ford Times,’’/monthly pub
lication of the Ford Motor
Company, derives its name
from the hickory shaft,
weighted with a tap or
heavy iron nut, which is
used as a weapon in rabbit
chases.
“The tapstick is the main
item of equipment in the
most primitive, if not the
most picturesque, method of
hunting still known in
America,’’ Mr. Davis writes.
“Sweeping end - over - end
through the air, the weighted
sticks make telling missiles,
and lucky is the rabbit that
escapes the barrage.”
The .author, a recognized
expert on sporting dogs and
an authority on trap, field and
skeet shooting, says that tap
stick hunting is a “peculiarly
Southern practice, adding
much to the picturesqueness
of plantation life in frill and
winter."
He predicts the sport will
be enjoyed as ‘long as cotton
is king, as long as sedge fields
and briar patches oner food
and shelter to the cottontail
rabbit.”

Recalls Upset
Of 1945 In
Bantams Game
Writing of high school football,
Doug Donehue, sports editor of
the Orangeburg Times and Demo
crat, a native of Charleston, re
calls the Camden High-Charleston
High football game of 1945 when
the Bulldogs upset the dope by
holding the Charleston team to a
scoreless tie.
Here is what he says of tlje
game:
“When Carol Cox graduated
from Camden in 1944 he was just
one of the many players who left
Camden High almost without a
football team. Camden really
plastered the Bantams in 1944 and
when time for the 1945 game
rolled around, the Bantams were
prepared to slaughter the Bull
dogs. Those of you who will re
member will recall that Charles
ton High had a great team that
year. In the backfield they had
such stars as Marty Garshon, Lar
ry Riggs, Allah Leevin, Bill Wan-
namaker and Charlie Fabian.
There was an equal array of stars
in the Bantam line and everyone
of those boys was intent upon
pulverizing the Camden outfit
“What happened that night be
fore the game got underway was
almost pathetic. The Bantams
were on the field early, kicking,
passing, running and getting set
for the game. In came the Bull
dogs and a more pitiful aggrega
tion we have never seen.
“There were only 20 men on the
entire Camden team and they
looked like nothing better than
a Class C teem at the best Top
weight on the Bulldog squad was
a right halfback named Gene
Banner, who tipped the beams at
a prize winning 170 pounds.
When the Bulldogs came hustling
in there was a loud groan from
the stands. People were saying,
“Oh, this will be murder. Those
little kids haven’t got a chance
against this powerful Charleston
team.’ All week the Charleston
papers had been full of stories
about how the Bantams were go
ing to revenge themselves for that
20-6 defeat the year before.
“Saturday morning’s sports
page headlines about that Cam-
den-Charleston game read like
this: Bantams, Camden Play 0-0
Tie; Birds Narrowly Escape De
feat. Now, here’s how Doc Baker
started his story on that game:
“A fierce team of Camden Hi
For the Camden fans had seen
their Bulldog sons push, shove,
and get pushed through 60 min-
utes of fast-breaking football, at
least half of which were pre
dominated by the Bulldogs in a
frantic effort to better the first-
half 14-point lead chalked up by
the Gamecocks.
' • The Gamecock eleven, well-
heeled in every position, took the
field, squared off their trick T-
formation, and wasted no time in
making the T stand for touch
down. Sumter back Russel Sutton
took the opening kick-off on the
ten, and, with the help of team
mates Garrison and Cain, spark-
plugged a sustained drive that
netted four first downs and six
big points for the Gamecocks. Gus
Pringle’s placement split the up
rights and added a point to the
scoreboard. Sumter 7—Camden 0.
The Camden boys failed to
click on their first ball-toting op
portunity, and Jimmy Cox turned
the ball b5ck over to the Game
cocks with a 47-yard kirk, after
the ball had changed hands twice
on fumbles. Cox’s kick, which
s$arted from his own 43. proved
to be the longest boot of the even
ing.
The Sumter lads rocked for
ward for another pair of first
downs as thfe quarter ended with
the ball resting on the midway
stripe.
'nie Bulldogs grabbed them
selves their first first down as the
quarter opened, then lost the ball
on downs. An exchange of punts
found the ball in the possession of
the Gamecocks on the Camden
45. It was from this point that
the Sumter lads pulled the most
spectacular play of the contest
and added their second and final
tally. A short completed forward
from Cain to Strange looked good
for only about six yards until it
was lateraled off to Gamecocks’
Sutton who went all the way.
Again Pringle found the mark,
and added the point to the score
that was to stand till half-time:
Sumter 14—Camden 0.
The second quarter saw Cam
den's line, pounds lighter than
their opponents, tighten and re
fuse to yield a first down to the
Gamecocks for the remainder of
the half.
The Bulldogs reopened the sec
ond half with a drive from their
own ten that netted two first
downs and an announcement to
the Sumter boys that they meant
business. A six-yard loss and an
incompleted pass forced Jimmy
Cox to kick, however, and the
ball went to the Gamecocks on
their own 15.
On their first try from scrim
mage in the second half, the Sum-
tor lads fumbled, and Bulldog Co-
Captain Ernest Barfield, sur
rounded by Gamecocks, pounced
on the ball to claim it for his
teammates on the Sumter 12. The
Camden lads tightened their chin-
straps, an4 find by the determin
ed Une-bucking of tailback Jim
my Cox, moved steadily and sure
ly through the big Sumter line
to their first tally. The try for
extra point was inches shy of the
mark, and the scoreboard read:
Stun ter 14—Camden 6.
The fourth quarter saw the
Camden lads on the move again.
Sparked by Jimmy Cox’s 22-yard
dash from the Bulldogs’ 25, the
locals caught fire, and moved
down the field. Cox’s pass to
Gayle Kerr was good for 30 yards,
and placed the ball in scoring
position for the Bulldogs on. the
Sumter 8.
Camden’s scoring punch was
lessened considerably when high-
stepping, hard-hitting fullback
George Beleos was sidelined with
a leg injury. Three tries netted
five yards, and Cox’s pass to the
flat on the fourth down fell in
complete.
Sumter took over, with their
backfield forming behind their
own goal line, and moved out of
the hole up the field, as the Cam
den lads gambled desperately to
regain possession of tha ball. The
timekeeper’s whistle put an end
to it all, however, with the ball
still in the possession of the Game
cocks. Final score: Sumter 14—
Camden 6.
