All entrants this week are eligible to win 1) two tickets to this weekend’s Gonzaga University men’s basketball game against Northwest Nazarine, or 2) four tickets to Eastern Washington’s Nov. 3 home football game against Cal Poly. As usual, a $50 gift certificate to the Davenport Hotel will be awarded to a top guesser. Take the News Quiz here.
