Mr. Camp was the leader of his
football team at the University of
Pennsylvania. He led his team to
victory over Princeton in 1892 for the
first vitory for Pennsylvania over
Princeton in thirty years. In this
Came, "Jake" Camp won national
recognition, which to this day is often
mentioned.
J?
aCTiinl
During recent years, after Mr.
Camp had retired from the lumber
bnsinesB, because of failing health,
bis enthusiasm was still keen in all
lines of sports, but mo'c especially
football.
It was not uncommon to see Mr.
Camp at most of the local football
games.
After Mr. Camp was confined to his.
lome for a greater part of the past
year, his old team mates did not for
get him; they seemed to think more
of him for they sent him a radio so
he could listen to the games that were
broadcast.
The Blue Ridge tournament has
been played and the Waynesville girls,
although not winners, they did give
the winners a run for their money.
It is not for me to make amends
for the local lassies, but with Messer
out of the lineup the team was with
out a doubt weakened. The Canton
teams are good and well deserve the
victory that is their.
After all, Waynesville did get two
players on the girls all star pick for
the first team, Rogers and Rathbone,
one on the second, Phillips. In the
boys pick, Smith was placed on the
second string.
