first half of the championship

up were three teams all tied for
second place. These tie a m
were: Rotary Club, Christian
Church and Gene Atwell's Rob-
bins and Clark team. Their
records were four wins and one
loss.
In games played on Feb. 5, the
results were:
GAME ONE: The Rockville
Jaycees defeated the strong XII
wants Club 28-10. Although this
game had no effect on the out
come of the first half it was still
a hard fought battle. The game
was close throughout the first
half, but the superior height of
the Jaycees soon became evident.
Mossburg and Mullican played
the best game for the winners
while Happy Trail played his
usual outstanding game for the
losers.
GAME TWO: The sickness
riddled Moose Club became the
fourth victim of the high scoring
Rockville Christian Church. The
score in this game was never
close as the Christians, spanked
by ten league leading scorer,
Phil Case, scored almost at will.

GAME FIVE: This was the
game that gave the title to
Beall's. The Robbins-Clark team
had to win this one to stay tied
for top. Their opponents were
the once-beaten Rotary, coached
by Bruce Faatz. The game was
nip and tuck with the lead
changing hands ten times. At
halftime the score was 10 to II
Rotary. With SIS seconds to go,
Dennis Floyd's hook shot put his
team in front, 21-20. The Rob-

unable to score again. The lack
of effectiveness on the foul line
by the Robbins-Clark team cost
them the game. They missed
