The Auburn Tiger, DESPITE some
staggering OF late, should take the
measure Of Newocrry. Atlanta
journal, Feb. 23rd.
the first upset in the grand old
dope came in the second game OF the
tourney when the Newberry quint
completely outplaycd the Ausourn tt
gers, defeating them by 80 to 21.'-
Atlanta Journal, Feb. oath.
Some one asks what has tl;s to do
with the "new GYM? 1t should have
lots to do with putting across the sale
of athletic tickets that started Tues
day. And the successful sale of tick
cts will mean new gym. This one
team has put the town of NeWberry
on the map (for it is true, whether
we like it or not, the town and the col
lege are so closely linked together
that what brings credit to one brings
it to the other) with the baseball fans
throughout the south, and there are
thousands of them. Quoting from the
Journal again, GAS the Auburn Tigers
and Newberry college took the floor
in the afternoon, everybody was ask
ing, Who's Newberry? And nobody
knew, apparently. Today everybody
knows Newberry as the bunch that
plastered Auburn, and that's some
thing, if Newberry doesn't 60 any
further" And it was such clean,
wholesome advertisement, for the re-
port says "the game was clean and
hard-fought." Newberry's basketball
team has put the town of Newberry
on the map. Ask yourself the ques-
ton, what has this advertisement cost
Newberry?
Again quoting from the Journal Of
Feb. 26th, "The fast little quintet,
conouerors of the Auburn Tigers,
went down before the onslaught OF
the University of North Carolina in a
game where both teams: displayed
some of the best basketball yet ssen. -
Glorious in defeat as they have been
in victory, they sustained the good
name Newberry has made. For the
report tells US that the game "was
fast and snappy, and clean through
out"
Doesn't the fine battle our boys put
no in Atlanta make you just a little
prouder (say to the extent of one
athletic ticket that you live in New
berry and that Newberry college is
located in Newberry rather than at
Greenwood, or Walhalla, or some 9TH
er city? How are you going to DEM
onstrate to the boys that you are
with them, and that you are proud
of the fine showing they have made?
We hope that this same bunch will
represent US next year in Atlanta.
They need new gym. with basket
ball court the size they have to play
on in Atlanta so that they can be
accustomed to the big court. This
new gym Will give them such court.
You get the point. By buying ath-
: letic tickets you can show them as in
no other way that you are with them.
Then, too, how are you going to
prove to Clutch" that you are back
of him, and appreciate what he is do
ing for Newberry? Our athletic
teams have not been winning their
! victories of temselves. There is a
"power behind the throne" so to
speak, and that power is Coach Mac
Lean. If you will promise not to let
it leak out to the other colleges in
the state, we shall tell you an open
secret. The athletic director at New
berry college is second to none in the
state, not even excepting Sol Metzger
and Doc Stewart. This new gym pro-
; ject has been called "Dutch's dream"
1t lies within our power to make this
dream reality. factions speak
I louder than words" Show Coach
Noel ,ean that Won are with him by
investing in athletic tickets.
The canvass began Tuesday. Be
ready to give the canvassers an an
swer. Remember that they are all
busy men, and are giving their time
freely because they are interested in
the proposition. You can make this
work pleasure for them.
