Athletics Back in 1918, Detroit junior College's first football team defeated the highly lauded University of Detroit's team by a score of 6-0. The man who made the touchdown was Captain Brenkert. From junior College, Brenkert went to Washington and jefferson, where he starred for four years and received honor- able mention on many all-American elevens. Egbert Isbell received his first coaching on a college track team under Coach David L. Holmes in 1921. Going to University of Michigan, he developed into the champion distance runner of the Big 10 and the Middle West. This year he is being considered as certain of a place on the United States Olympic squad. Walter VVesbrook played on Junior C0llege's first basketball quintet in 1918, during the S. A. T. C. days. He finished his curriculum at U. of M., where he won fame as a tennis player and a pole vaulter. He is ranked by Walter Camp as one of the greatest tennis players in the United States. Another man who began his varsity career at this college is Les Wittman. On the 1921 J. C. track team he did the 100-yard dash in ten seconds flat, and the 220 in 22 seconds, in addition to hanging up a new mark of 26 seconds in the old J. C. gym track. In the last two years he has become the star dash man of the conference, with a -- of 94,5 seconds in the 100 yards. Ike Iler's place kick of 52 yards in 1921 will stand as a national record for many years to come. Russ Lightbody's run of 95 yards for a touchdown in the J. C. vs Grand Rapids of 1922 is the best performance of a wearer of a Green and Gold. Russ also scored a total of 136 points in the 1923-1924 basketball season. City College may well congratulate itself on having a man of Coach Holmes' i ability in charge of athletics. The performances of the above men and many Q , others are a favorable sign of the position our College will occupy in the athletic 1 Q 5 world of the future. l Q 1 OUTDOOR TRACK RECORDS OF CITY COLLEGE MEN I ze Qirfi 100-10 sec.-Wittman-J.
