Since 1922 WWW.THESANTACLARA.COM One Free copy Afterfirst win, Hill loses Who is James Hill III? second in Final Jeopardy! By Brittany Benjamin The Santa Clara

At 6:55 p.m., James Hill 111 stormed through the door, entering into a room lit only by a pro- jection screen and the faces of over a hundred students who came to cheer him on. "James is back!" yelled one of them as the rest of the crowd applauded. Yes, Hill was back back for the Jeopardy! College Championship semifinals, which aired Monday at 7 p.m. After breezing to a win in last Wednesday's quarter final over two Ivy League competitors, Hill qualified for the semifinal match. After two rounds in Monday's showdown, Hill had a commanding lead over his two op- ponents, leading by more than $5,000. It came down to the Final Jeopardy! question, which stumped Hill and lost him the game. "It was fixed," came the jeers from the crowd as they filtered out of the Graham Hall 100 base- ment after the loss. One student stopped to have Hill autograph his arm before leaving. "I'm never washing this arm again," he called while leaving. For Hill, it marked the end of a week filled with good luck bids, signed autographs and Facebook fame. "Facebook absolutely exploded," he said. "I thinkI had something like 109 notifications and 120 friend requests that I have to sort through at some point." Hill, a freshman, jumped out to an early lead BY WILL DANSE-THE SANTA CLAI Freshman James Hill 111 watches himself on television during the Jeopardy!
