In effect, the athletes are cut off from most of the good college life. They have few dates, seldom become campus leaders, are often looked down on by fellow students as hired freaks. "They're supposed to play ball and that's all," explained a campus poet. Despite these disadvantages, the muscular young men of 'Bama have put up with their lot, accepting it as a fair price...
