...eliminate organized scouting, of course, would not stop graduates who see teams playing from sending in "dope", but it would be less scientific, and at least be some advance. This step would include the abolishment of sending, at the expense of the athletic association, a coach to watch future opponents play, and also sending any members of the team to such games as the Yale-Princeton contest...

At the beginning of any athletic season, those interested in the particular sport forecast the program with their "dope"; during the season the dope continues, and after the season these same men start doping the next season.

Paper dope can never be relied on, but undoubtedly the system being broken by the war had a lot to do with it. The greatest mistake by far was, however, the use of old-fashioned football. It's different now, not brawn but 99 percent brains. There won't be any mistakes next year and every one is confident of success...
