The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Dec. 2, 1971—PAGE 5 Loyalty Bowl game results Newberry’s defensive foot ball squad downed the offen sive 2300 to 1713 in the Col lege’s mythical Loyalty Bowl game that wag played during November. The 4013 total score for the pretend game also means $4013 for the College’s athletics scho larship program. Tickets for the imaginary football game were sold for the defensive squad and the offensive squad for $5 each. The idea of the pretend Loyal ty Bowl game between the Col lege’s squads was the brain child of two former Newberry College athletes: Gaines 0. Boone of Irmo, who played on the line in the late 1940’s, and Stanley Bessinger of Columbia, who was a fullback and line backer in the early 1950’s. “We wanted to show the New berry coaches and players our appreciation for their fine show ing in 1971 on the football gri diron, basketball court, and baseball diamond,” the game’s sponsors said. “We contacted the College’s former athletes and sports fans and asked them to help.” The two pointed out that al though the tickets were for a pretend game, the proceeds from the ticket sales will be used for a very real purpose: the support of Newberry’s ath letics scholarship program through the Indian Club, the College’s sports booster orga nization. Newberry’s football record during the 1971 season was just as impressive as the imaginary Loyalty Bowl game results; the team finished with an 8-2-1 re cord, the best of any collegiate football t.am in South Carolina, and the best Newberry record since 1924.
