Lollipop Gang Wins Battle for Capital Softball Title College Penn State Harrisburg’s Lollipop Gang came from behind to defeat Penn State Schuylkill’s Avengers 24-11 Oct. 14 at PSH’s A Field. The win completes an undefeated season and the Lollipop Gang becomes the First Annual Capital College Intramural Softball Champions. PSS started the scoring with a controversial first inning three run home run. The game was stopped for five minutes as umpires gathered to decide whether the ball was fair, foul, or a ground rule double. Later in the inning, another home run gave The Avengers a 6- 0 lead. PSH came back strong in the bottom half of the inning with a couple of RBI doubles and a three-run home run of their own to take an 8-6 lead. A key double play turn in the top half of the second left PSS scoreless. This opened the door for The Lollipop Gang to add to their lead with a couple of sacri fice flies in the bottom half of the inning to make the score 10-6. In the third inning, The Avengers showed signs of life as they clawed their way back into the game with a two-run double and a sacrifice fly.

Hicks Capital Times Staff Writer PSH’s lead to 10-9, but PSS would never tie the game. In a sign of school unity, Penn State Harrisburg’s fans sang the Chordettes’ Lollipop in the stands, and The Lollipop Gang opened the floodgates.

That was the overall intent of playing the game.” Following the game, members of each team and the umpires met in the Capital Union Building for a pizza party. Three other Intramural Championship games between the two campuses are scheduled: two-hand touch football (held at PSH), basketball (held at PSS), and volleyball (held at PSS.) STRESSED FROM SCHOOL?

Multivitamins and You By Brad Clements Capital Times Staff Writer In today’s world where every thing is go, go, go, many people do not have the time to sit down and eat well-balanced meals - meals that contain quality vita mins and minerals. Enter the multi-vitamin. Vitamins are essential to life. They serve many functions such as contributing to good health by assisting in the biochemical processes that release energy from digested food. Minerals are another important micronutrient to consume. Every living cell on this planet depends on minerals for proper structure and function. Minerals are utilized in the for mation of blood and bone, and the Greatest Golf Moments Of The 20th Century What was the greatest, most exciting golf moment you’ve ever seen? Was it Jack at Augusta in 1986 or Nancy Lopez winning five in a row in her rookie year?

He was n’t expected to play world class golf ever again following his 1949 near-fatal car accident, but less than a year later, Ben Hogan was preparing for the majors. The final full-blooded one iron to the 72nd green at the 1950 Open at Merion epitomizes The Hawk at the height of his considerable powers. The final par earned Hogan a three-way playoff, which he won with a one-under par 69. 1975—Nicklaus beats Miller and Weiskopf to win Masters. In 1975, Jack Nicklaus was at the peak of his power—as a shot maker, as a supreme manager of both the golf course and of his emotions.

Although needed in smaller quantities, it is important to ensure one is getting enough of them. Fatigue and sicknesses, such as colds, could be a sign an individual isn’t getting their prop er amount of vitamins and miner als. As a college student, keeping late hours and eating unhealthy is sometimes a prerequisite, so, a multi-vitamin could be beneficial. If one is dieting, a multi- vita- SPORTS By Peter Kessler North American Precis Syndicate thing was that she just kept play ing her game. There had never been a female Arnold Palmer. They shouted for her, adored her and smiled. And she won all the awards, made all her putts and through one glorious stretch in the year of 1978, she won five consecutive tournaments. 1997—Tiger Woods wins Masters by 12 shots. A Masters practice round with Tiger Woods convinced Amie and Jack that their combined 10 green jackets were not beyond Tiger’s ultimate reach. So, when Tiger won the ’97 Masters as a rookie by 12 shots —with no 3 putts, an open ing nine 40, and an 18-under par total to break by one shot the mark set by Jack 32 years before, we were gently reminded that Amie and Jack knew the game and they knew their man.

A multi-vitamin ensures that an individual is getting an accu rate amount of the nutrients he or she needs. Most health food and drug stores carry multi-vitamins. GNC’s brand of Mega Men for men and Ultra Mega Woman, for, of course, women are reputable and affordable forms of multi vitamins.
