 south WaIlnp> Center
 The champion South Conerega- tional church team almost found history repeating itself when the Center church quintet gave if a first half scare before ccllapsing. Last year the weak Center church team almost won from the south. and for while Saturday night it looked as ii it might do even better this time. Starting with a new combination which included two inexperienced players and with no substitutes on he sidelines. the Center church quintet started fast on two fou! shots by 't'lank" Derrick and pair of long field goals, running up G.. lead. Dcrrjck'S first toss was the leagues intial point. while Bell made the opening basket. The South church rallied but all through the half the losers kept close and the count was 15-11 at the half.
