Trivia Time
The Final
Trivia Time
by John Shiffert
With Campus Review’s discontinuation as a
stand-alone publication after 45 years, we also
bid farewell to Trivia Time after 14 years.
The final Trivia Time question asked what real-
ly happened the night the bed fell on father,
harking back to one of James Thurber’s funni-
est short stories that purported to tell of some-
thing that happened during his childhood in
Columbus, Ohio. As was often the case in
Thurber’s tales, the entire episode was a misun-
derstanding and a comedy of errors, since a bed
did not fall on his father (who was sleeping in
the attic) but on Thurber himself. Everyone just
thought the attic bed had collapsed. At least,
that’s how Thurber told the story.
Telling this final story first was that old story-
teller himself, Rob Taylor. Second was Lou
Brackett and third was Jill Ellington.
Nonetheless, the winner of the 2014 Tom
Eddins Virtual Trivia Trophy is Kurt-Alexander
Zeller (just edging out Ellington), who picks up
his third virtual trophy in the past four years.
The points leaders for 2014 are as follows…
Kurt-Alexander Zeller 21
Jill Ellington 18
Lou Brackett 9
Rob Taylor 7
And here is the complete list of all of the Trivia
Time winners since 2001…
2001 – Lou Brackett
2002 – Lou Brackett and Terry Penn
2003 – Tom Eddins
2004 – Jean Myers
2005 – Rob Taylor
2006 – Tom Eddins
2007 – Dina Swearngin
2008 – Kelly Adams
2009 – Lou Brackett
2010 – Lou Brackett and Rob Taylor
2011 – Kurt-Alexander Zeller
2012 – Jill Ellington
2013 – Lou Brackett and Kurt-Alexander Zeller
2014 – Kurt-Alexander Zeller
It is not then a trivial consideration, as part of
the retiring of the Tom Eddins Virtual Trivia
Trophy, to present that trophy in perpetuity
(with a tip of the trivia chapeau to the donor, the
immortal Tom Eddins) to the all-time champion
and five-time winner, Lou Brackett. Special
runner-up status is also given to fellow multiple
winners Kurt-Alexander Zeller and Rob Taylor.
And thanks to all who have played along in the
past 14 years. May all your pursuits not neces-
sarily be trivial…
The Clayton State women's soccer
team extended its win streak to five
games on Sunday as the Lakers
shutout visiting Flagler College 3-0 in
a Peach Belt Conference match-up at
Laker Field. Clayton State improved to
6-1-0 and 2-0-0 in the conference
standings. Flagler dropped to 1-5-0
while losing their PBC opener.
"The team effort was good today and
we were solid at the back," says Laker
head coach Gareth O'Sullivan. "It's
great to get a win in the Peach Belt and
we must now recover quickly for our
game on Tuesday night."
The Lakers got balanced scoring with
the game-winning goal coming at the
20:11 mark of the first half. Rachael
Schmidt took a pass from Emily
Walling and slipped the shot past
Saints goalkeeper Desiree Shields.
About 12 minutes later, Maria Marti
Bartis scored her PBC-leading eighth
goal of the season on an assist from
Saidhbh Collins. The Lakers secured
their final score of the contest in the
70th minute when Jencilia Villaverde
connected on a pass from Marti Bartis.
The Lakers finished the afternoon
with 27 shots compared to five by the
Saints. Clayton State goalkeeper
Charlotte McCormack collected her
second shutout of the week and third
of the season. Shields finished with
16 saves before being replaced late in
the second half.
The Clayton State men's soccer team
had only one victory over Flagler
College in seven previous meetings.
On Friday night, the Lakers picked up
their second series win in a hard-
fought, 1-0 decision over the Saints,
ranked 16th in the most recent
NSCAA/Continental Tire Division II
Top 25 poll.
Laker sophomore Sean Morris scored
the contest's lone goal in the 55th
minute on a pass from Jonny Evans
and the hosts held off the visiting
Saints in Clayton State's Peach Belt
Conference opener. The Lakers
improved to 3-1-1 while the Saints
slipped to 3-1-1 overall and 1-1-0 in
the PBC.
Clayton State's Nick Punter, the PBC
Goalkeeper of the Week, picked up
his second straight shutout of the sea-
son and made six saves. Both teams
had 10 shots during the contest.
