The girls ate first, and Jo Ann
Drelich won by eating a pie in one
minute and three seconds.
Sherman Hanke, who won in the
potato chip contest, had enough
room for a pie and whipped his
competetor in the men's event.
Two individuals made a
courageous attempt at beating the
world record for lemon eating but

Rainy weather inhibited but did

WITH THE SHORT notice, if
any notice at all because of no

of about 35 inquired where the
champion would perform and
journeyed into the uncomfortable
basement. Some appeared as if

Connally would up his arm and
let loose a plastic disc and it

before arriving at Connally's

Connally jumped up and caught the
frisbee between his knees.
"I'd like someone big and strong

the audience. "I need someone big
because I have a big disc."
Connally got what he wanted
when a husky man offered to throw

is no special technique to it other
than practice."
He received $1,200 for winning
the championship. He is a member
of the Aces, a professional team
that performs throughout the
country, mostly halftime
exhibitions at sporting events.
In keeping with the record
breaking spirit, the USC Women's
Track Club sponsored a 24-hour
running marathon at Field A from
noon Thursday to noon Friday.
Several different runners carried
the baton for a total of 204 miles.
Cockfest was cancelled Friday
becuase of heavy rains. Cockfest's
organizers will meet this week and
discuss the possibility of
rescheduling it.
The event would probably take
place the following Thursday or
Friday night before the Notre
Dame game.
The Charlie Daniel's Band would
not play and admission would be
free, Cockfest Director Allan
Fraley said.
"It would be a shame that all the
work that went into Cockfest to

Fraley said. "We also have to talk

will be performed by sororities and (
fraternities.
"PEOPLE SAY that this is a
Greek affair but we (Cockfest
Committee) sent invitations to all
organizations," Fraley said. "The
fraternities and sororities were the
only groups that responded."
The Charlie Daniels Band was
paid some money but will not be
available for a rescheduled concert.
The homecoming parade began
at Jefferson Square and proceeded
down Sumter Street Saturday with
its array of bands and floats.
The winning float was done by
Delta Delta Delta sorority and
Kappa Alpha fraternity. It
depicted the comic character, *
Spiderman, shooting a web from
his band and webbing the
Cavaliers.
Everyone was prepared to settle
back on the Intramural field with
their beer and listen to some good
music.
The Grinderswitch concert,
however, was moved to the Russell
House Ballroom because of the wet
field.
Much of the enthusiasm moved
elsewhere, however. \
