Epilogue
Paul Harvey Award (best freshman or sophomore)
Yeah, Clint McDonnell is a sophomore and pretty much is the best player at the tournament. So we gave him the Individual Championship overall, and conferred the Paul Harvey Award to Rip Kamath of Michigan State.
Student Blooper Award
Tim McCaskey of Michigan State
We don't know why he did this, but he answered "transatlantic cable" for a question concerning Marconi's "wireless telegraphy" (aka, radio). Besides, this is a biography tournament.
