Delts speed skate to another sweepskates victory Men, lace your roller skates was a far cry from the familiar Indy track order, yet the anticipation was much the same for those fraternities participating in the Alpha Phi ' s annual Sweepskates compe- tition. Skill, balance, and agility were all put to the test as the men took part in such de- manding races as the skating relay and obstacle course. And if passing a llfesav- er with toothpicks in your mouth was your specialty, you were a shoe-in at the mys- tery event. With competitive determination. Delta Tau Delta won the overall trophy for the second consecutive year. Skinned knees and sore muscles, however, were far from the mind of Delt Marty Horner as he was awarded the title of Mr. Sweepskates 1981. Recognition for having the greatest looking legs went to the entry from Delta Tau Delta and Pi Beta Phi. They also re- ceived the award for raising the most money for the Heart Association, the Al- pha Phi ' s national philanthropy. AND THEY ' RE OFF . . . The gun fires and the race Is on, as determined participants break fronn the start- ing line to display their form in the roller skating relay. THE HUMAN WHEELBARROW . . .
