BERKELEY WINS USC TREMORBOWL The University of Southern California hosted a West Coast mirror of Vanderbilt's tournament on Saturday, October 16th with TRASH after the tournament. Questions were provided by Oz of UCLA. The tournament was entitled TremorBowl in honor of the 7.1 Hector Mine Earthquake experienced at 2:46 the morning of the tournament. It certainly got things rolling. The tournament, except for a few minor delays at the beginning ran very smoothly and everyone seemed to have a good time. There were at least enough good comments to insure a repeat tournament next fall, tentatively entitled AfterShock! 15 teams attended and played a full round robin. Congratulations to the west coast powerhouse that is Berkeley. Their A team ran the field going a perfect 14-0. It is also worth noting that Berkeley's B team came in a respectable 6th, pacing the division II field. Also congrats to Richard Mason from Caltech who led all scorers with an impressive 88 points per game!
