Specs Take ' 77 College Bowl Championship SPECS (1 to r): Tom Wilson, Alice Hughey, Tom Kerr, Stan Faires. STAFF: Standing — Brian Bishop, director. Seated - Judy Heath and Randy Greene, assistant directors. The 1977 LR College Bowl began with 26 teams in early January. One month later, only two — the Specs and the Cab- alleros — were left. In the final match, played on January 26, the Specs took the win over the Caballeros and emerged the champions in an exciting game played before a large audience. The College Bowl has proven one of LR ' s most durable and most popular ac- tivities. Brian Bishop served as director of the ' 77 Bowl, with Randy Greene and Judy Heath as assistant directors. Dr. Ellis Boatmon of the LR history department once again served as moderator. Stressing quick recall of fact, the Bowl nightly drew large crowds and the tempo remained at a high pitch throughout the tournament, climaxed with the cham- pionship game. Alice Hughey (Specs) and Richard Shuford (Caballeros) were named the Bowl ' s most valuable players and David Adams (Oxen) was cited as the mvp on a non-finalist team.
