The league winds up its 13-week first half tonight. Members of the winning team are captain Lib Gault, John Dilling. Douglas Houser, Bonnie Wallace, and Ronnie Cul bertson. The team now holds a 33-15 record, five games in first-place. Betty Fite is currently in second-place with a 28-20 record, but Janet Burns and Dot Tignor are close behind with identical 26-22 records. Second, third, and fourth places could change, but the last two positions are clinch ed by Jenny Oates and City Ice & Coal. Oates Began Drive Too Late Jenny Oates, fifth-place, 14 games behind City Paint, caught her second breath a little late. City Paint dropped four games to Oates week before last, and City Ice & Coal dropped four more games last week. City Ice $ Coal, led by Albert Brackett. Furman Wilson, and Allen Myers, now holds a 12-36 record, 21 games behind. Pharmacy Should Be Ladies' Champ The Kings Mountain Ladies’ Duckpin Bonding League is tightening up, hut Medical Pharmacy should take first hdlf honors. Pharmacy took the Ladies’ League lead the first week and has remained on top the entire first half. The first half ends December 29, but no bowling is scheduled next week, as members of the teams will have a week off for the Christmas holidays. First and second places are clinched by Medical Pharmacy (52-121 and Belk's (46-18). Oates-Henderson Shell is some 15-plus games out of first-place, and Plonk’s Department Store, led by team captain Lib Gault, is close behind in fourth. Phillip’s 66 and McGinnis Furniture have nailed down the last two positions. Medical Pharmacy has been on the losing side for the past few weeks. BUT there’s a reason for this. Captain Janet Burns has been sidelined because of low blood, and that is the big reason for the team's slipping. It’s just like when Mickey Mantle is injured — the Yankees lose ground, or when key players in the Moun taineer lineup are injured, the Mounties win. but not by as big a margin. Members of the Medical Pharmacy team are Janet Burns, Ora Mae Bennett. Betty Cash. Brenda Biddix, and Mickey Houser. Men s Second Half—?? The Men’s League is more balanced than any of the three leagues, any team can win if the members are up to par on any given night. The second half should be light and interesting to follow. PREDICTION — Top-spot should be a battle between Plonk Oil and Culbertson. Young Bill Mullinax has now started to display bowling talent and should prove to be a big asset to the Plonk team. 1. Plonk Oil, 2. Clyde Cul bertson, 3. Bob Herndon, 4. Tignor & Russell. 5. Dilling Heating. 6. Griffin Drug. Mixed League Half—?? The Mixed League second-half should prove to be dif ferent. City Paint got off to a good start, winning 19 of the first 20 games, but began to slip a little as the half pro gressed. PREDICTION — 1. Jenny Oates. 2. City Paint Store. 3. Janet Bums. 4. Betty Fite. 5. Dot Tignor. 6. Citv Ice A Coal. Ladies' Second Half—?? Medical Pharmacy undoubtedly has the strongest and most balanced bowding team. BUT Plonk’s Department Store has continued to climb, since their addition of Lib Gault. It win probably be a battle between those teams, but Medical Pharmacy is the number one choice. PREDICTION—1. Medical Pharmacy, 2. Plonk’s Dept., 3. Belk’s, 4. Oates-IIenderson Shell, 3. Phillip's 6t>. 6. Mc Ginnis Furniture. Members of all three leagues will receive the same trophies, line, set, average, and team.
