Both championships were won by a team from Wilson Hall. The Women's championship fea- tured a sensational battle between the Hustlers, who compiled the best offen- sive league statistics, and the Bumpa- boobadaes (3-North), who compiled the best defensive league statistics. The first score in the game was by the Bumpaboobadaes on the 5 yard run by Betty Gustafson. The extra point was good; a pass from Betty Gustafson to Debbie Fox. The Hustlers bounced back with a 40 yard run by Patrice Munero. The extra point attempt was no good. The Hustlers trail 7-6. The Bumpaboobadaes scored again on a pass play which covered 55 yards; Gustafson to Fox again. The extra point was denied and the score stood at 13-6. The Hustlers made a late bid to tie the game when Miss Bowersocks intercepted her third pass of the game. VERY INTERESTING The advanced speech class, 126, Interpretive Reading under the direc- tion of Mr. K. Titus, will be presenting an unusual program sometime during the first part of December. Since the beginning of the semester they have been gathering music, pic- tures and literature from the Civil War period. Representative literary selections include cuttings from Sand- burg's Lincoln Trilogy, Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Benet's John Brown's Body, from Mark Twain, Anderson- ville Tr ial, first-hand accounts of battles and similar material. After editing, a narrative section will be written to tie the body of the work together. Choral and individual reading, music (both live and recorded) and slides will comprise the production techniques. Gene Jeneman, Director of Besser Planetarium, is co-operating by making the facilities and effects of the planetarium available as an environ- ment for the production . h~· !Vlr. t<:.
