Won Upper Staters wgm A heavier, hole-making Upper State forward wall, combined with an effective set of backs to prove the winning combination in the star-studded inauguration of the Horse Bowl at Zerap field Jan. 2. An estimated 4 ~ ~" people were in the stands and extra bleachers to see 26-14 triumph at the city’s first bowl attempt. the _ <w BE ' tV ; <a«AU on period, although rs’ payoff punch trt'- The Lower Staten, after hav ing been bettered in statistics and showing for an entire first half, came back midway in tha second half to fill the air with successful Gramling-to-Bennett passes and _ . to make a ball game of it Early leaving fans were stopped by the offensive attack btfore they could leave the stadium and lined the sidelines to watch the game try of the lower state gold and blacks. Never, however, did the contest become completely lop-sided. The lower state continually broke through for nice ground and air gaines in every the upper staters came more consistently. At no time did the game lack for thrils. Parker High’s Ralph “Blackie” Durham proved worthy of the state-wide reputation he had gar nered in the recent Charlotte Shrine Bowl. Scoring once, and consistently picking up large hunks of yardage, the 190 pound back showed his team mates the way. James Cox of Greer, another Shrine Bowler, handled the kick ing duties for the Upper Staters well, proved capable of fancy running, as well as pass pitching and receiving. Backs Fulmer, Shillinglaw, Freeman, Eddle- mann and Radford also proved not out of place on an all-star aggregation. Ends Billy Southern and Clyde Bennett, lower state flankers from North Charleston and Chester, gathered in passes from the ac curate pitching arm of Orange burg’s two backfield representa tives, Johnny Gramling and Charlie Kinsey, to provide the lower state’s most effective en trance into their opponents’ sec ondary. Harold Studemeyer, highly-touted North Charleston back, also proved capable of working his way into the clear for pass reception, in addition to his skill as a runner. Camden’s three representatives to the lower state outfit, End Bud Barfield, Tackle Jack Holland and Back George Beleos, all made fine showings at their respective po sitions. Barfield and Holland were standouts in the line and Beleos, in addition to his ball-toting, brought the fans to their feet with « shoestring tackle from behind ... r IJpner Stater Black ie Durham from what looked t6' be a touchdown gallop, ten yards short of the goal. The upper stat ers proved unable to make the re maining ten, and the half ended without another score. The upper staters struck for the first talley when/ following a fumbled punt attempt by Charlie Kinsey, Greenville’s End Bradley Wham recovered for his team mates on the Lower State 20. A quick first down carried the ball to the 10, and after three tries had netted nine of the 10 needed ? rards, Durham carried over the eft side of the line to score. James Cox’s extra point place ment found the mark and the Up per State took the lead that they were not to relinquish for the remainder of the game. 7-0. It was not until midway the second period that the necessary scoring combination was found again. David Eddleman from Clinton slipped off tackle for ten yards and the score that climaxed the Upper Staters’ 55-yard drive for their second visit to scoreland. This time Nolten Hilderbrand broke through and blocked Cox’s try for extra point and the Up per Staters went back upheld with the comfortable 13-0 mar gin. The half ended without fur ther score. A rejuvenated Lower State squad returned for the second half of the contest and, after mak- Sydney Smith Is Sole Survivor of First Polo Team Sydney Smith, sole surviving member of Camden's fust polo teem, visited in Camden dtmng the holidays.

Sam De- Pass, who is a member of the University of South Carolina fac ulty, and Arthur Burnet are the other two surviving members. This team was organized in 1893. After finishing Camden school, Mr. Smith went to Wofford Col- ege where he played third base on the famous Wofford College baseball team which never lost a game. From Wofford he went to Caro- ina and there he caught on the )aseball team and played on the ootball team. He was the first football coach that The Citadel had and in ad dition to coaching he played ootball and baseball. While at The Citadel Mr. Smith ;ot a job with the Charleston earn of the South Atlantic league. It seems that the third baseman of the Charleston team was hurt one day and Eddie Ashenbach, the manager, went to the grand- %/Ubm Misery of yards to their opponents’ 35, and set things in motion for the first Lower State score. Gramling un wound his pitching arm and also found glue-fingered End Bennett for another 20 yards, then passed to Stoudenmeyer for another 10 that placed the ball on the 8-yard i.

In the fourth period a pass from Aiken’s J. M. Fulmer to Bradley Wham netted a neat 20 vards and the third score for the Upper Staters. The try for extra point again failed and the score stood 10-7. ' With the final period waning, the Lower Staters began to play things to the hilt and, with the ball resting near midfield, 15 vards short of a first down, a fourth down pass from Kinsey to Stoudenmeyer netted only 5 vards, turned the gamble into a loss, and set u pthe final score for the Upper Staters. York’s Billy Shillinglaw made it look easy as he whisked through the entire opponents’ secondary for 50 yards and the score. The final 30 yards the lad from York trotted alone. The try for extra point was again no good, and the final score had been recorded for the Upper Staters, 25-7. The Lower Staters turned to the passing arm of Johnny Gram ling and displayed a surprisingly daring and effective aerial attack. Gains of 20, 25 and more yards were clicked off with regularity, but two 15-yard penalties set back the gold and black outfit twice before they got the ball headed for pay dirt A pass from Gram ling to Kinesy for 8 yards climax ed the attack and provided the score. The extra point was made, and the Lower Staters had nar rowed the margin to 25-14. The Upper State received the kick, and, with a long pass from Fulmer to Larry Landrum of Greenwood, traveled all the way to the Lower State 5, but the fin al whistle caught the score threat Johnny Gramling proved to be a cool, presise and accurate pass er, and Clyde Bennett showed real mettle as a receiver. The two Upper Ralph Evans and Union’s D. Caldwell, wrecked havoc time and again in the Low er State backfield, trapping and passers while they were s in the production stage, and pro viding a constant threat both of fensively and defensively. The coaching staff for the up per state squad was made up of Head Coach J. E. Ingram of Lex ington High School, Assistant Coach Tommie Hite of Abbeville High School and Assistant Coack Ed Hill of Graniteville High School. Upper State team man ager was Deonne Amick of Lex ington High School. For the lower state team the coaches were Head Coach Boyd Stokes of Camden High School. Assistant Coach E. C.

When we published advertisements giving our side of the case, they protested, even though they had made, and have continued to make, in newspapers, in speeches and over the radio these charges that would seri ously damage our business, if they were believed by the public. Every week millions of American housewives patronize A&P stores. Many of them would not want to deal with the kind of people that the anti-trust lawyers represent us to be.

No answer by us would be necessary if the anti-trust lawyers were always right \ But they, like all other human beings, can be wrong. j , In this case we know they are wrong. ' They have been wrong before. In case after case they made charges against A&P which were proved in court to be utterly without foun dation. ' • . We will prove that statement right up to the hilt. % The anti-trust lawyers tell the public that they won a previous anti-trust suit against us at Danville, Illinois. They did. .What they do not tell you is that they brought case after case ageunst the A&P in federal courts all over the United States.

The staff of 20 operatives was kept busy all week in trying to keep up with the rush of business, according to the management. Htoffy Nose Can anyone imagine any charge calculated to be more damaging to a retail grocery business? They asked millions of people to believe th&t we were the kind of grocers who would take bread out of the mouths of poor people and make it harder for a wife and mother to feed her family. Thmse eharge§ were fed—. In that case it developed that the A&P and the two competitors who were charged with conspiring with us to msintsin high bread prices actually sold bread cheaper than most of the other stores in Washington. The anti-trust lawyers presented and argued their case. When they were through. Federal District Judge Allen T. Goldsborough ruled that A&P and the other defendants did not even have to put in ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of "not guilty.” Judge Geddthorough tend to the anti-trait lawyert: “If you ware to thow this record to any experienced tried lawyer in the world, he would tell you that there was not any evidence at all. “Honestly, I have never in my over forty yeetrd experi ence teen tried a cate that wen en absolutely devoid of evidence en this. That it the honett truth. I have never teen one like it." - - But the fact is crystal clear that they only brought their bread the big companies and against companies thht aold good Mte° lowest prices; just as in this current suit they are attf^hing a kif 1 defense.
