.sports ? Record-breal part of Speci By Dennis Switzer | Two USC students will be in the Guinness Book of World Records next week if their plan works. Starting Saturday, Scott Zeigler and Mark Bowman will try to break the record for a tennis marathon to raise money for Special Olympics. The record is 105 hours. The attempt is part of the Columbia Hall Annual Marathon for Public Services (CHAMPS) and according to coordinator Brian Beans, they hope to raise $1,500. "WE HAD NO budget to start with. We raised money through drawings and bake sales. Our goal is $1,500. That's a conservative estimate, but I don't want to raise anyone's hopes," Beans said. "These guys (Zeigler and Bowman) are gung-ho about breaking it. I think they'll make an honest attempt to try and break it," Beans said. Their attempt is only one event at the tennis marathon Saturday. Head Basketball Coach Bill Foster is honorary chairman for the day, and Cocky will make a guest appearance.
