It's a College Week from May 1988. Charlie O'Donnell is filling in.
Over $172,000 is available for our college players.

Lolita picks F and S on $750 and $150, then repeats the T on $400.
Eugene finds L on $1,000, but not a V on $200.
Lynne finishes with C on $200. Everything else is a vowel...
S L _ C _ / _ F
L _ F _

Eugene hits $5,000 for L, and buys O and E, but the latter is a dud.

Lolita finishes up with M and H on $900 and $500...
M _ N / O F
L _ / M _ N C H _
