College football
Holmes was an All-Southern center for Wallace Wade's Alabama Crimson Tide football teams of the University of Alabama,[1] a member of the first Southern team to win a Rose Bowl. He got a case of appendicitis en route to the second one while in El Paso,[2] and was left there with the idea of Babe Pearce filling in for Holmes. Holmes let his doctors know he would catch the next train to Pasadena.[3][4] The team's roster lists him as from Springville, Alabama.[5]
