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. This cut

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. They
scored in each of the remaining
innings including a five-run
fourth and a six-run sixth.
A stellar team defensive perfor
mance by the Lollipop Gang held
PSS to only two runs in the remain
ing four innings to capture the First
Annual Capital College Intramural
Softball Championship.
Bud Smitley, Coordinator of
Recreation/Athletics at PSH,
said, “Although there was a win
ner declared in this game, the
most important thing was every
one involved in the game, play
ers and fans alike, appeared to
have a good time. 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.)

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?
The Golf Channel knows you
have strong opinions about the
order of the greatest moments of
the 20th century and offers a list
of 36 nominees from which you
can vote for nine. Here are a few
great memories:
1950 —Hogan wins U.S. Open
after near-fatal accident. 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. When Miller and
Weiskopf missed birdie tries at
the home hole, the Golden Bear
slipped into his fifth green jack
et.
1978—Rookie Nancy Lopez
wins 5 in a row —The amazing
regulation of muscle tone and
healthy nerve function. Like vit
amins, minerals also assist the
body in performing its functions.
Vitamins and minerals are con
sidered micronutrients because
the body needs them in relatively
small amounts compared to nutri
ents such as proteins and water.
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-

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.
The Golf Channel will present
the “Greatest Golf Moments of
the 20th Century” during two
special programs airing on Nov.
21 and 22.
The 18 winning “moments”
presented will be selected by The
Golf Channel viewers, who may
vote through TGC’s web site,
www.thegolfchannel.com.
Those who vote will automat
ically enter a national sweep
stakes, and are eligible to win a
Special Edition Century 2000 by
Buick, golf trips and other golf
prizes.
min can be useful as well. The
reason is that calories are restrict
ed in diets, so are the intake of
sufficient amounts of vitamins
and minerals.
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.
It would be a good idea to do
some price and ingredient com
parisons of supplements.
Remember, always consult a
physician before engaging in any
supplement program.
