Wizards whiz to bowl win By Diane Wlnocur Of th» Emtrtld In the tine art of creative guessing, delay tactics, and knowing when to interrupt, the Wizards — a four-man team from Tingle dormitory — proved Wednesday night that no one guesses, delays or interrupts better The name of this game is College Bowl The object to respond with correct answers before the other team can do the same The prize was $75 and a tee-shirt Billed as the "varsity sport of the mind” by its Time/Life sponsors, the University Housing Department brings this trivia/game show to cam pus each year as the intellectual entry among its intramural sports offerings, says organizer Sally Smith, director of the University Inn Elimination rounds began last month among 50 teams Each of the five complexes determined a dorm-wide and then complex-wide champ to enter in this week s final intradorm show down It was the Wizards who beat everyone else to the buzzer During each question, the noise from the small audience hushed as each contestant strained for a response Some elbowed their neighbors knowingly, while others shook their heads in bewilderment at the impossiblity of the questions The questions were donated from professors all over campus. Smith says, as well as from a purchased Time/Life packet Topics and degree of difficulty were widely varied Questions ranged from sports and television trivia to physics and literature "To win you should have a good scientist, a liberal arts major, someone in communication, and in business — a broad general background," Smith says Preparation before the big match took var ious forms among the teams Chris Warner of Caswell, whose team lost to Tingle in the last round before the semifinals, says he played College Bowl in high school, and is a frequent reader of trivia books But the Wizards were briefed in delaying tactics, according to Ruane, such as speaking a response as slowly as possi ble to stretch out thinking time Davis remembers watching the old College Bowl game show on television, on which the current version is based I used to watch it all the time," he says "I couldn't answer any of those crazy questions, like Who was born in 1885 and went on to invent cotton?'
