Five Students Chosen to Have Art Appear on Indiana University
Season Football Tickets in Hoosier Draw Play ’98

What does Indiana University football game day look like to Hoosier youth? According to over 400 young people from across the state, it is hard-hitting action, cheering fans, the marching band, cheerleaders, snacks at the concession stand, players dressed in cream and crimson, and much, much more.

Rogers Group Central Region Vice-President Ken Millsaps said his company is proud to support IU football in a way that gets the young people of Indiana involved. "We are a company that began in Bloomington, Indiana 90 years ago," said Millsaps. "We wanted to do something that reflects our commitment to Indiana’s children as well as one of its up-and-coming athletic power, the football Hoosiers. Hoosier Draw Play ’98 meets that goal. We are happy to be able to contribute to Coach Cameron’s program in this way."

From the myriad of colorful entries, five winners emerged and will have their art appear in on Indiana University football season tickets for the 1998 season. Additionally, those students will receive a $500 savings bond courtesy of program sponsor Rogers Group, Inc. Each winner will be invited to attend, with their parents, the Indiana University game which their art appears on the ticket, receive a tour of the Indiana University football facilities and be introduced on the field at halftime.

Every child who entered the contest will receive an IU football schedule poster and a personal letter from Coach Cameron. The winners are:

	Mattie Theobald Kindergartner Mattie Theobald of Bloomington, who drew a picture of an IU football player in full uniform to win the Kindergarten and under category.
Bryn Taubensee Bryn Taubensee, a Bloomington second grader who drew four cheerleaders firing up the fans to win the first-second grade category.
	Alex Hole Seventh grader Alex Hole of Orleans, Indiana, whose aerial drawing of Memorial Stadium on game day won the seventh-eighth grade competition.

Carrie Deal Carrie Deal, a fifth grader from Bloomington, who won the fifth-sixth grade category with her drawing of fans with painted chests spelling "Go IU Hoosier Football."

The winners were chosen through an anonymous selection process evaluating artistic quality, creativity within the theme, uniqueness, neatness and use of color in five different age categories.

"These young artists really captured the essence of IU football game day," said David Brown, Director of Marketing and Promotion at Indiana University. "The tickets will really take on a special character with these depictions of IU football."
