Congratulations to Soul Truck (Phil Groce, Keith
Hudson, James Quintong, Chris Sloan), winners of the 2nd
annual Big Lots Clearance Open trash tournament. Second
was I Am Hamburglar, Destroyer of Worlds (Georgia
players); 3rd went to Vic Taybackstreet Boys (Lee U.
alums.)
 In the special song lyrics competition run by the
Lyrical Gangster, Ward Cullum, reigning K-Tel Hellion
Chris Hendry squeaked by Keith Hudson in overtime to
claim first and the Richard Clayderman album. For his
2nd place finish, Keith took home the Tom Wopat
album.
 Now comes the usual outpouring of gratitude. We
begin of course with Jeremy White, who with help with
Ben Lea and the guys from Berkeley wrote and edited
FOGHAT and allowed us to mirror it. For those who
weren't there, Round 4 was a trash masterpiece for the
ages, and I highly recommend you buy a set of questions
from Jeremy. Tom Michael, Toby Walter, Ruth Jackson,
and Stephen Taylor came to read and thus made it
possible for us to run a full round robin with no byes.
UTC's Shannon Moore, Wally Edmondson, John Kilby, and
David Moore handled tournament setup, and Russell
Morisch served as gopher and provided extra manual labor.
And UTC stats goddess Dorothy Morisch breezed past
major keyboard problems and did her usual stellar job
of keeping up with tournament standings and stats.
Speaking of which...
 STANDINGS
 Results may be a
bit misleading because the two Florida State teams
(Hurricane Ditka and Kathleen Turner Overdrive) had to leave
after Round 4. After the round robin, standings were:
