...cash to each of four contestants to bid for the clues they wish to buy. The clues, in the form of rhymed couplets ("Morning, noon and night, you'll find me tight") may help the player guess the identity of an object silhouetted behind a scrim curtain (in this case, an electric light socket). Other times, the clues, and an accompanying cartoon, may refer to persons or sayings.

Jerry Bahn, former Jayvee who moved into contention as a starting defensive end this fall, won't be able to play for several weeks as the result of a hand injury suffered during a scrim-make.
