Holmes, new secretary of the Lawrence YMCA, assumed his duties this morning and has been busy visiting with local people to see what the agency needs to do to improve and prosper. : Coach Bert Kennedy’s university football team opened its season on McCook field here with a 38-0 victory over William Jewell. The forward pass was used with great success and the Baptists were clearly outclassed. : A pastime that seems to be gaining popularity here is roller skating.”
