Buckeye topped the championship with Nowell Drug the runner-up. Maljamar came in 3rd, Humble City 4th, Magnolia 5th, and Lions 6th and you may recall (this is the year that the Lions were to be on top). Lindy's 7th, Amerada 8th, Jake's Fountain 9th and Tatum 10th. Tatum dropped out of the league after forfeiting several games in the first half and did not play any in the second half of the season.
