Sports Football Football season opened this year with thirty boys who were out for practice three weeks before -our first game with Butler. This year is the sec- ond year that Holden has defeated Butler. Last year the score was 18-Og this year's score was 13-7. ln about a week we went to Adrian, and the Eagles had little trouble winning this game for they won by a score of 27-0. The next game was played at Lee's Summit, a new team on our schedule. Al- though our team played a good game, Leefs Sum- mit took the lead. Our next game was with the Eldorado Springs squad, and again we were victor- ious. Clinton came here the folowing week, but we were unable to defeat this team. The next two games were victories for Holden. These games were played with Odessaand Rich Hill. We then ven- tured to Richmond where we lost 13-40 after show- ing them a rough time. Appleton City was our next victory. Then came the Homecoming Game with our old rivals, WVarrensburg High School. This game drew a record crowd at I-1olden's 'foot- ball park. The Eagles played a. good game but could not win over the powerful Tigers, In the Vifest Central Conference Warrensburg took the title of first place, Clinton second place and Holden third place. Two boys from Holden, Al Null and Franklin Gudde made the all conference football team. Other boys from Holden who were selected for the all con- frence second team were James Daldrup, Ed Clements and Lou Clark. Only one injury occurred during the season. That was a leg injury received by Dan Hayes in the Lee's Summit game. He was unable to play for the following three games. ' The Seniors of' the 1949-50 squad were James Daldrup, Ed Clements, Franklin Gudde, Wendell Daniel, Dan Hayes, Al'Null, Joe Morrison, Louis Lee and Carl Hamilton. Holden played ten games this season and won six of them. I-Iolden's total score was 175 pointsg whereas their opponents scored only 145 points. This ends our football season, and we wish to thank our efficient football coach, Francis Titus, who helped us along the way. i Basketball Holden started the basketball season with twenty-five boys out for practice. WVith only ua few days for practice we entered the Missouri V Club Tournament at Marshall, but it was a sad story as we lost out early in the tournament.. The Jinx seemed to be on our team- as we lost the five following games. Holden finally got under way and won fourth place in the West Central Conference. Clinton took the -title of first place while Warrensburg and Butler tied for second. The Eagles also brought home a third place trophy from the Pleasant Hil Tournament. As a whole we did not have a very successful basketball season, although we played many close and thrilling games.

Juniors, Wayne Carter, Russell French, Ernie Simmermon, and Joe Huber: sopho mores, Dcn Sipes and Gerald Craig. Track The first track meet of the year was held with fl-Iarrisonville.

Junior High Tournament Our school was selected to hold a Junior High Basketball Tournament this year. This event is to be an annual affair and includes both boys' and girls, teams. It has been approximately twenty- five years since Holden has had a girl's basketball team. VVe were very proud when our girls took the fourth place trophy, and the boys took the second place trophy. From our observation it looks as though we have many players coming on to ,make a first class team in the future. - A large crowd attended each night, and many thrilling and exciting games were enjoyed by all.
