A PIPER PA-38, N9905T, AND A BELLANCA 8GCBC, N8667V, COLLIDED AT THE INTERSECTION OF RWYS 22 & 25, WHILE THE ACFT WERE LANDING. THE PIPER PA-38 WAS ON A DUAL INSTRUCTIONAL FLT WHILE THE BELLANCA WAS BEING USED TO TOW GLIDERS. THE AIRCREW IN THE PA-38 SAW THE BELLANCA, JUST PRIOR TO IMPACT & INITIATED EVASIVE ACTION, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE BELLANCA PLT DID NOT SEE THE PA-38 UNTIL THE IMPACT OCCURRED. DURING IMPACT, THE RIGHT WING OF THE PA-38 AND THE PROPELLER & NOSE OF THE BELLANCA WERE DAMAGED.
