SUMTER TEAM JUDILANT.
Defeated Camden i'm One sided Contest
by Score of 81 to 0.

bcIcutcu NaIlucn Ill Onc-S1ucu contest
by Score OF 32 to D.
In a One-sided contest at Camden
yesterday afternoon the local high
school football team defeated the
Camdenites by the score of 80 to 0.
The game was in Camden territory
nearly all Of the time and no time
did the Camden players threaten
their opponents goal. The Sumter
boys found their opponents easy and
did not exert themselves to their ut
most.
The first goal of the Sumter play
ers came in three minutes after the
referees whistle sounded for the
kickoff. Sumter won the toss-up
and elected to receive the ball. In four
plays they carried the ball over the
line. From then on it was merely a
matter of how large the score woCld
be, for the Camden boys seldom got
the ball and were una 0lo 20 gain, as,er
it went into their possession. The
Sumter team worked together well,
the charging of the line and the excel
lent offensive work of the backs being
responsible for the superiority of the
Sumter team. However, the team has
much to learn OF the game and Coach
Woods will use the next week in i'm
proving the defects which showed up
in his team.
Five tOuchdowns were made by
the Sumter boys, Burns /, Spann 2
Yates !, Bradham 1; goals Flowers
1, Flowers. /.
The lineup Of the team was: c.
Shaw, w; guards, Shaw, q, Allen
Hurst; tackles, Dick, Yates, Durant
Minis; ends, Flowers, Brown; quarter
Spann; half backs, Bradham. Capt
Burns; full, Boyle and Monaghan.
The next game of the high school,
boys is with Darlington on next Fri.
day afternoon in Sumter. The Oar.
lington team is said to consist of prac
tically all Of the players of last yeal
and with squad of thirty men tC
pick from is reported to be one of tho
best teams which that school has pu
out in several years. 1t has won ;
game from McCOll and will come t,
Sumter to take the goat" away from
|
the Sumter High school. AS it is play
ed on their own grounds the Sumter
boys seemingly have the initial ad
vantage, but they are assured of {
hard game.
