'fo 3 W t -x' 0 - L nj F o JR 1 .l L er J! Football The football team of 1924 lead by Captain Bates was a green team. Few veterans were left over from the '25 season. In consequence the season was not as good as past seasons have been. The ixlunies lost to Toledo, Alt. Pleasant, Grand Rapids, Adrian and Ulivet. They defeated a strong Ferris team, and Assumption. The Holmesmen had the honor, along with Alma, of being the only team to score on Alt. Pleasant's wonder outtit. Duncan, Litzenberger, Cole, and Boyd playing their last games for the Green and Gold all played tine football, especially on Thanksgiving against Alt. Pleasant. Prospects for next year are bright. 15 letter men have stated that they will return. Leigh Pascal, hall' back, will lead the '26 team. He was elected unani- mously by his teammates.
