Bio

Serving two masters, he kept faith with both Olivet College and the University of Michigan. As an Olivetian he played varsity football and baseball, earning letters in both sports. In football he was nominated to the second team MIAA in 1915, and was All-MIAA Center in 1916. For over a quarter of a century following his enrollment at Olivet he gave both of his time and substance that others might train on his beloved campus. No Olivet Athletic History would be complete without the mention of Donald “Pete” Bacon.
