  We present the results of a photometric survey for variable stars in the
field of the nearby globular cluster NGC 6752. The cluster was monitored in
1996 and 1997 for a total of 54 hours with 3 different CCD cameras mounted on
the 1.0-m Swope telescope. Eleven new variables were identified: 3 SX Phe
stars, 7 contact binaries and 1 candidate detached eclipsing binary. All 3 SX
Phe variables are likely members of the cluster while only 1 out of the 7
contact binaries is a potential cluster member. As a by-product of our survey
we obtained UBV photometry for a large sample of stars in the cluster field.
Two stars with U-B \approx -1.0 and V=19.3 and V=20.6 were identified. They lie
along the extended horizontal branch of the cluster, and are likely to be faint
sdB stars from NGC 6752.
