kbove: Tiger and students alike celebrate as the torch : put to the Ole Miss Banner. Tiger Sports New Threads One of the most visible figures in the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium and the Mid-South Coliseum during the year was the Tiger Mascot, not only because of his slapstick antics, but because of his new bright orange color and grinning face. The new costume, introduced at the Memphis State- Georgia Tech basketball game, drew mixed reactions, although most were favorable. The new $1500 costume was fashioned after Tigger the Tiger from the Winnie-the-Pooh stories by H. H. Hilne. Ordered from a company in Cincinnati that specializes in Walt Dis- ney characters, the costume was lined with one-inch thick padding that con- verted the suit into a mobile sauna with temperatures inside often reaching 130 degrees. To get in shape for such conditions, the wearers were required to run 4 to 6 miles in summer heat. Warren Hodges, one of the three young men who brought the mascot to life this year, saw the experience as a license to be a fool. The people don ' t know who is in the costume, so you can do crazy things, said Joe Pharr, who shared the duty with Hodges. David McClure, who was the first to wear the new costume, found that the new Tigger was not as flexible as the old Tiger; such stunts as somersaults and shooting baskets were no longer possible. Pharr and Hodges both agreed, however, that they were able to perform in the costume since many of their stunts were done on the spur of the moment. Our colorful Tiger did not limit his antics to Memphis State events, but was also seen at the Overton Park Zoo Day, the Mid-South Fair, Youth Day, and other city-wide affairs. Features 21
