You probably owe it to the people of Camden to let them see that sparkling ball player Jimmy Cox in action just once more. To my way of thinking he is the out standing high school player in the state this season. You’d be miss ing a bet if you didn’t have Sum merville’s Bobby Drawdy on the team. I have nominated both Cox and Drawdy for All-American high school honors in the Wig wam Wisemen’s poll.” Baker then goes on to suggest the following playefs for con sideration in the Horse Bowl. Summerville’s Barney Miller, Bu- fort Blanton and Bio Barry, all backs, Kenneth Kelly, an- end, Carroll Flowers and Gene Lime- house, guard and center; Orange burg’s Johnny Gramling, quarter back; Georgetown’s Jule Sweatte, a back; Sumter’s Russell Sutton; Charleston’s Harry Braxton, tackle, and Vassas Stametiades, end; Olympia’s center, M. L, Roofe, and back Chuck Franklin;- St. Matthew’s Lawrence Gres- sette, a back, and Bennettsville’s Mikey Caskey, Jr. Baker expresses wide spread sentiment when he says “The fel lows selected to play in the Shrine larly on the pects are to from the lasses this scesnn The games scheduled thus far Dec. 9—Ash wood, there. .

WoridOf Sports The collegiate football season comes to a close in South Caro lina on Saturday when the Uni versity of South Carolina Game cocks meet The Citadel Bulldogs. The game will be played in Charleston and will be a home coming affair for the Bulldogs. There seems to be a spirit of op- lism on The Citadel campus the Bulldogs can take the Gamecocks. We can’t quite see it, but there is one thing to be sure —the Bulldogs will oe in there fighting. Police Force Is Entertained At Johnnie’s Grill The 11 members of the Camden ce department, with Fire ief Carl Hammond, were en tertained at Johnnie’s Grill last Wednesday evening at a steak dinner. Chief Alva Rush of the police group stated that it was one of the nicest events of the kind that the police have enjoyed and paid keen appreciation for the de licious western steaks, French fries, etc., that were on the menu. Needleess to statp, everyone resent did ample justice to the ine feed, ana voted Johnny Baroni as having all the requisites of a perfect host Florida Potatoes ire Banned In State — South Carolina growers should not attempt to carry seed pota toes into Florida this winter for the purpose of bringing back early plants next spring, accord- prohibit the shipment of sweet potato seed stock or plants from Florida into South Carolina, since practically the entire state of Florida is heeVily infested with the destructive swket potato weevil,” Mr. Berly says. “At the present time in South Carolina, only a restricted area in Charles ton county is infested with this insect, and (he state trop pest is working in S’ Wofford Terriers wound up their second undefeated season last Saturday when they trounced Newberry 40 to 0. The game must have been a heart-breaker for Coach Laval since he is said to have “pointed” for it. The Ter riers’ big line smashed through the Newberry defense all afternoon and smothered Hank Witt, New- berry’s star back. The Terriers now go to the Cigar Bowl, at Tam-, pa. There are lots of people in the state who would like to see; them play almost any team in the country because they have a line that will cope with any in the country. Paul B. Williamson, the football expert, rates Notre Dame as the country’s best team, Oklahoma second; California, third; Army, fourth, and Rice, fifth. The Greenwood Emeralds are claiming the Class AA State High School championship on the strength of their undefeated sea son and are planning to play a Daytona Beach, Fla., team next. big day Dec. lually as All eyes will be on the Shrine Bowl game in Charlotte Saturday. Camden fans are expecting to see Jimmy Cox shine. Bowl will have 3. A lot of players eq good were not selected to play in the Bowl and would get their chance to show their stuff in the "Horse Bowl.” The fact that they are selected for this title would also prove a bigger drawing card at the gate since many South Carolinians will have seen the Shrine Bowl stars in action.” Baker’s views were received with much interest in local sporth circles. Local football fans would like to see George Beleos chosen for the Horse Bowl game. Beleos carried the mail in payoff strides on many occasions during the years he has been with the Bull dogs. i» Several letters received in, re sponse to the invitations sent out revealed that there was sentiment that would open the Horse Bowl entry list only to seniors who did not take part in the Shrine Bowl game. This is in line with Doc Baker’s suggestion relative to players not taking part in the Shrine game, but who were just as good as those who did, would have an opportunity to exploit their prowess. However, this is a matter to be decided upon later by the coach es who will be named within a short time. Lt. Col. J. M. Gandy Home From Okinawa Lieut. Col. Jamee M. Gandy, having completed his tour of duty in Okinawa, has retained to the states and is now spending a leave in Camden before getting his re assignment. Colonel Gandy graduated from Hartsville High school with the class of 1941 and is a graduate of Clemson college. His duties on Okinawa were in the same field of work which he had pursued in civilian life, name ly, engineering. He was Wing Air Installations Officer and it was his responsibility to handle all maintenance work pertaining to buildings, grounds and most of the utilities. Because of typhoons, rust and corrosion and normal deterioration of property, his current tour has been a very busy one. Colonel Gandy will take a leave to visit relatives and friends be fore reporting for duty on bis new assignment. SINGING CONVENTION Luther A.
