...them--more fit and enduring, more able to withstand hardships. Our college athlete is the fighting type. His spirit, his arms, his legs, are good. The only point where we have in a measure failed is in his setup, the deepening of his chest and the better development of his trunk for suppleness, action and resistive force. That is a point we are remodeling today and the athlete of the future will be more the all-around man and the average man in college will have more of the possibilities of the athlete

Letters from our men at Yaphank emphasize the fact that the Harvard men know the game better than the draftees, but that many others make more efficient soldiers because they are better disciplined. Lack of discipline is the fundamental weakness of our system. The time to reorganize our military morale is now. Soon it will be too late...
