As part of the football season spirit, Duke employees are invited to participate in a Duke football trivia contest (see sidebar). Five trivia participants will be randomly drawn to receive prizes, which include (clean) game-worn jerseys, and a mini football autographed by Cutcliffe. Entries must be received by Aug. 14.
E-mail answers, along with name and phone number, to working@duke.edu, and label the entry "football trivia." You can also send answers through campus mail to Working@Duke, Box 90496. Winners and answers will be posted on Duke Today on Aug. 19.
