The results are in for the 2012 edition of
Trivia Time, and the winner of the Tom
Eddins Virtual Trivia Trophy is Jill
Ellington of the Registrar’s Office.
A first time winner of the Eddins Trophy,
Ellington (who was second last year)
scored 59 points and defeated no fewer
than three former champions; Rob
(Zachary’s Great Nephew) Taylor (56
points), four-time winner Lou Brackett
(34) and the 2011 winner, Kurt-
Alexander Zeller (33). Ellington also
becomes the second staff member from
the Registrar’s Office to finish first, fol-
lowing Jean Myers’ win in 2004.
The entire list of Trivia Time winners…
2001 – Lou Brackett

To pick up in 2013, last issue’s question
asked what was so embarrassing about
Jefferson Davis’ post-Civil War capture
in South Georgia by Union troops. Well,
if you were caught wearing your wife’s
coat, that would be pretty embarrassing,
although what was worse, as Zeller
pointed out in his answer, was when
northern editorial cartoonists got through
with Davis, “he was apprehended trying
to flee in full Scarlett O’Hara drag of
hoopskirts and wig.” Actually, Kathy
Garrison had the first correct answer, fol-
lowed by Brackett, Ellington and Zeller
(who gets a Bonus Point for the Scarlett
O’Hara line.)
In keeping with the former champions
theme of this issue’s Trivia Time, what
do Brackett and Eddins have in common,
other than the fact that they’re both for-
mer multiple champions? Send your
answers to johnshiffert@clayton.edu.
The Clayton State women’s tennis team

State at Laker Courts today after beating
44th-ranked USC Aiken on Sunday by the
same score. The win improves Clayton

Clayton State sen-
ior Ayrton Azcue
continued
his
strong indoor track
and field season
last Saturday, low-
ering his NCAA
Division II provi-
sional time for the
indoor
national
championships in
the mile run, winning the event at JDL
Fast Track Championship Tune-up in
Winston-Salem, NC.
Azcue, who already has an automatic
qualifying time in the 800m, finished with
a time of 4:13.85, breaking the school
record set by Walid Berkhedle in 2009.
Freshman teammate Job Kemboi also
added his name to the Laker record book,
breaking Azcue’s 3,000m run record, fin-
ishing seventh in the event.
Junior Bryce Rauhof set the tone by open-
ing with a win in the weight throw compe-
tition. He broke his own team record by
more than two feet with a toss of 49-feet
5-1/2 inches.
