...game of today, with its forward passes and its other vagaries o new football, places a premium on individual excellence and minimizes the value of team-work. In acquiring points team effort is no longer required. Once with in striking distance of the goal the team does not strike. Instead, it calls upon its expert kicker and useless effort is avoided. Ten husky warriors stand aside and permit one man, who possesses a peculiarly skillful foot to do the work that eleven men would have done in the old days...
...victory of Harvard is essentially a victory of one man. It is not that Brickley scored all the points. When the old game was in vogue one man might have scored all the points and be by no means the star of a team which had won by united effort. The glorification of Brickley at the expense of his colleagues is justified because of the method of scoring. He did what the others could have done.

...Western team with a couple of easterners as a sop to eastern criticizers, and vice versa with the eastern theorist, only here it has been the custom to have at least a majority of players from the critic's own college. It is all so much wasted effort. Those who could do the best job keep quiet; conditions of the past have changed and the authorities of a dozen years age are no longer unquestioned. Football this year demonstrated more clearly than even that it is a game of team-play. All America teams are a splendid occupation...
