These men did their utmost to gain positions on the team. The season was very successful considering the green material with which Mr. Hinga had to work. llve broke ahead on the winning column hav- ing won five and lost three games. One of these games we won from Grand Haven which alone makes the season a success. :X great deal of credit goes tu Mr. Hinga for as Coach he has instilled into the athletes and students that 'tnever say die spirit: and that fair play im- pulse which has urged the teams of the past two years on to vicory. lt was Mr. Hinga who constantly kept before them an ideal of true ath- letic spirit: teaching them the real meaning of the words good losers. Next year Coach Hinga should have even a better team, for nine regulars are expected to return. Everybody watch the team of 1926! SUMMARY :tHolland O ........ ...........................

Football Reserves After Mr. Hinga had picked his first squad last fall, there still remained some thirty to forty candidates for the second team. XVith these candidates a second team was or- ganized which was very successful, partly due to the abundant material and also due to the line coaching by Mr. Chapman. The football reserves enjoyed a very successful season winning three out of the four games played. The reserves defeated :Xllegan reserves 13-0, and also took the measure of the Grand Haven eseconds Z1-O. The reserves also defeated Bangor by a 19-6 score. The team's only defeat was suffered from the hands of the Grand Rapids South seconds by a 19-9 scorc. The team deserves a great deal of credit for their tight and also for the way they stayed out for practice throughout the season. The team was composed most- ly of Sophomores and juniors which gives promise for a Fine first team next year. 98

H.H.S. THE BOOMER,-XNG 1925 Basket Ball llasket Ball practice started immediately after football season. Many men answered to the first call. After about a we-ek's practice, Mr. Hinga and Mr. Chapman began to cut the squad until there were about thirty men left. Mr. Hinga had a hard task staring him in the face as there were only two veterans uf last year's team and a very hard schedule. :Xt the beginning of the second semester, Hill and Kole were lost by the nine semester ruling. This was a hard pill to swallow for these two men were capable performers. .Xt the tournament we lost to Kazoo Central in the first round. Kazoo won the district title by defeating Cnion, who were top favorites to win. XVe broke even on the seasons games, winning seven and losing seven games.
