A T H L E T I C S A T ATHLETIC COUNCIL The athletic council of Transylvania College is com- posed of a faculty committee of the College of the Bible and Transylvania, the President, two alumni, the coaches, and two students. Professor J. M. Saunders is treasurer of that official body. Probably the most important action of this council during the current year was its action regarding the resuming of athletic relations with Georgetown College. It is not proper here for us to state whether or not the council was correct in its refusal to assume responsibility concerning the historic gridiron classic between the two colleges on the grounds that Dr. Braden, as an indi- vidual, had severed those relations. • It is our purpose here to commend Professor Saunders, as well as other members of the council, for cutting down the debt in- curred in former years. George Dawson, Transylvania ' s student representa- tive on the council, also is to be complimented for his interest in a strong student connection in serving on that committee, and for his work as an intramural director, a major cog in the athletic machinery of the school. The year 1935-36 will long be remembered by the followers of Transylvania athletics as the year that the Pioneers reached heights unparalleled by Crimson teams of the past twenty years. It may have been the new coach, or it mav have been the hne spirit of the ath- letes, or the students who inspired it, but from some- where the Big Red dug up a new lease on life and rediscovered the spirit that brings victory, the spirit that made famous the Pioneers of old. Both teams had new uniforms and new ideas. Early in November an old Pioneer athlete of fifteen years or-so ago, Albert Happy Chandler, showed his Alma Mater again how to emerge victor in a race. This time it was a race in life, a political one for the governorship of Kentucky. Chandler, you will recall, played both football and basketball while a student here. We would like to go on record as giving him credit for one of our victories this year in basketball, a hard-earned win over Centre College on Feb. 13. All through the year a new spirit has been prevalent on the Transy campus, a spirit of courage and victory. Led by the powerful athletic teams, the students have surged forward in the creation of a bigger and better Transylvania. Hail Transylvania! Hail Pioneers! We salute you on the eve of greater victories! •;»t-( ATHLETICS AT TRANSYLVANIA
