Title	1905: Bob "Sponsor" Frazier
Description	This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 90: Bob Frazier, nicknamed "Sponsor" won the affection of Auburn athletes as their mascot, waterboy, trainer and unofficial cheerleader from the Gay Nineties to the Roaring Twenties. "Bob did everything for the players" a former football substitute recalled. "He cleaned their uniforms, bandaged their injuries, went on trips with them." Sponsor stood in the back row next to Coach George Petrie when Auburn's first football team posed for its picture in 1892. This photograph appeared in the 1905 Glomerata.
