I hose who nave iiad a hand boys' and girls' Farmville Church League teams in action this bas ketball season are of one opinion: the early start is bound to strengthen basketball here. It is the extra years of exper ience that helps weld a boy and a ball into a coordinated passing and shooting mechanism. The Re creation Association's: program, backed up by the churches, will trigger that mechanism, for later when those youngsters report to the high school coaches. Grade Wallace, the University of South Carolina whiz who cap tured the American collegiate scoring race this year, came from a tiny hamlet in Kentucky. So tiny the mighty University up Lexington way entirely overlooked the youngster, who jumped to a neighboring stale to play. But you can bet a big dollar, if it's not against your conscience, that Grady Wallace had a lot of that early start just like the Farmville youngsters had this year. Basketball ability, like a bank account, takes time.
