HARTFORD — Over 100 motorcyclists took over Hartford streets Sunday for the third annual "Miracle Ride" fundraiser to benefit the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. The bikers each donated $15 to participate, and rode from Bushnell Park, passed the Children's Hospital, and ended their journey in Newington for a picnic. The money raised will be used to pay for an infant warmer in the neo-natal intensive care unit, said hospital president Larry l:cv ;^ Gold. The hospital treated about 150,000 children from 169 Con- lld necticut towns last year.

The Graduates In honor of Trinity's Icester75th graduating class this week's Tri- pod Trivia Theme is graduating

1. This graduating senior for the Lady Vols is the only player, male or female, to play in 4 NCAA championship games.

2. This senior scored 43 points during this year's NCAA Final Four leading Kentucky to the national championship and earning him- self the Most Outstanding Player award.

3. This slippery Marshall senior is considered the best receiver in the NFL draft. (Hint: A roll- ing stone gathers no Moss).

4. This quarterback awed fans when he an- nounced he would return for his senior year. By doing so he dominated the SEC and earned himself the number one pick in the NFL Draft.

5. These two players graduated last year but their success has completely altered the trend of players leaving for the NBA before their se- nior year. One player is a superstar for the Nets, the other is the NBAs Rookie of the Year.
