The first MUD “500” Qub
versus Big Wise Bouncers bas
ketball game was very comical
and beneficial. The crowd
of 75 that filled the gym on
Tuesday November 28 saw the
MUD“500” comoletly domi
nate the action. The Big
Bouncers were paced by the
efforts of such D.J.’s as Doctor
John! Ray Mitchell, and their
exceptional outside shooter
Dawn. Because of the tremen
dous coaching job of Qiarles-
tom Miles and Eddie “JoJo”
Latta, the MUD played flaw
less basketball. The MUD
squad consisted of such tal
ented plavers as Kone, Big
Tuna, Joisev, Bull, Grizzley,
Judas, Weasel, Mac, and Riff
Raff. Because of some contro
versial calls made in the game,
the MUD was prevented from
its first shutout. The game
was rugged and fast-oaced ,
but the Mud was gracious to
the end to its opponents:
The BIG WISE BOUNCERS
were treated to “Jim Jones
Cocktails” after the game.
Autograph seekers were kept in
order by the MUD “500”
Qub security force, which con
sisted of Sednul 20/20, Roscoe,
Fok, Wombat, Belker, and Put
man. The proceeds from the
fame were donated to the
I.N.C.-A. Cheerleaders and the
Pep board.
