335-Member Booster Club
Is Broadening Its Scope
By UN MILLS
The 335-member Gobbler
Booster Chib, the largest and
•strongest sports-boosting or-
ganization in town, is thinking
in terms of broadening its
scope.
More emphasis on more
sports is the idea.
President E. T. Summers, a
man of all sports, gives a cou-
ple of examples:
—Revival of the spring baser,
ball tournament.
Club meetings during basket-
ball season.
A new project started thus
year — the selling of preferred
parking spaces directly in frote
of Gobbler Stadium — will be
continued next year.
And a constant effort to in-
crease attendance at weekly
Dec. 19. Two hundred and
ninety - nine people turned out
for the city-wide affair last
year.
Speaker for the ba™)1*! is
expected to be announced
soon.
The Booster Club has few re-
cords about its humble begin-
nings, but Summers says it
started out as a quarterback
club, interested onfrt to' foot-
ball, and met eacn Satiirday
morning.
Summers says the club is
still largely confined to sup-
port of football because foot-
ball is the community’s biggest
spectator sport.
"But we’re trying to broad-
en our scope,'* he added.
’That’s one reason we're tak-
ing on the revival of the base-
ball tournament.”

The Booster president is par-
