Said O’Connell, “Up until the last minute I thought the Phi Gamma Delta's had won the contest and had made all pre parations for them. I was certainly surprised to see the Sigma haliers walk onto the stage.’’ Members of the Sigma hall pro gram said they were told by the master of ceremonies just before time to go the stage that they were not to go on until next Friday night, that the Fijis had won and were putting their program on then. Several husky looking Fijis were reported seen about the theater and the fear was expressed they would picket the show place. The two finalists broadcast theii respective programs over KORE yesterday afternoon, and it was on the basis of these performances that the judges made their 2 to 1 decision favoring Sigma hall. The program was decreed best “from the standpoint of good radio en-' Lertainment.” Judges were Prof. J. A. Carrel] of the speech depart ment, Naomi Harper of station KORE and Mrs. J. B. Patterson, local piano instructor. 92 Tilts on Co-ed Slates Next Week Twelve games are slated for co ed baseballers during next w'eek with tilts set to start at 4:00 and 6:30.
