HE'S GOT ALL HIS MARBLES

Gimme an N. Gimme an I. Gimmie a C. Gimme a K. Yaaaaay, Nick!

Extra! is joining the cheering squad for Colorado's own Nick Anderson, 13, of Grand Junction, who now holds the title of champion after winning the National Marbles Tournament in Wildwood, N.J., in June.

Of his skill, Nick says, "I just look at the marbles and see what I have to shoot at."

Along with a huge trophy and being crowned king of marbles at the award ceremony, Nick also earned a cash award in the form of a scholarship.
