With the late Art Fleming ,did any player ever "run the category",by answering every question in a category ,like they sometimes do today on the Alex Trebek version?

On the original Art fleming version of Jeopardy, sometimes a player would run a category. In a few instances late in the show's run, a contestant received a bonus of $100 for running a category.

$100??? Wow whee!!! But back in those days, the dollar amounts for the first round were only $10 to $50. Things sure have changed.

Maybe they should change it,to ,instead of clapping,award a player a bonus of $1000 in the "Jeopardy!"round and $2000 n the "Double Jeopardy!"if they run the category,in addition to the $1000 and $2000 awarded to the second and third place winners now.
