CHS-22--West-O: Ralph McCarter recovered a West High fumble and Wolfen- bargar carried l8 yards for a TD and the Cats were off and running again. Crosland and Bridges scored two more touchdowns to make the score 20-0. Neely then trapp- ed the West ball carrier in the end zone for the final two points. Central-6--East-6: Central opened their T956 season with a disappointing 6-6 deadlock at the hands of a stubborn East team. Cen- tral's offense got rolling only once as they were held by a stout East line. Central-20--Bradley-l8: Against Bradley, Central played their best ball game of their season. With four regulars sidelined with iniuries, Jonny Wolfenbarger stepped in and led Central over very highly regarded Bradley.
