UI students play "pong" for charity

Students gather in Hubbard Park to participate in a large water-pong tournament Sunday. The game, dubbed "Trash Ball," divides players into two teams throwing basketballs into large trashcans. The tournament featured four divisions — a sorority, fraternity, Dance Marathon, and open division.

Proceeds from the winning sorority and fraternity were donated to a charity of the winning team’s choice. Pi Kappa Alpha members Keaton Rickels and Nevin Vijh said they created the game while playing with basketballs. Rickels said the two hope to make it an annual event.
