• This October 12, 1912, parade is headed for Hancock’s Driving Park and the annual Michigan College of Mines freshmen-versus-sophomores football game. It was then the main athletic event of the college year, with the players transported on horse-drawn drays. The lead car appears to carry seniors, who were instructed to wear hats, flowers, and ribbons and to carry canes.
