...true we try to interest football players in Harvard, provided they qualify in general as satisfactory Harvard prospects. We also go after out-standing boys who do all sorts of other things--debaters, musicians, etc. It is a fact (not a speculation) that we lose many football players because we won't offer them a lot of extra financial in centive.

In four months the secret was out, and Lawrence was booted out of the service. The next year he was allowed to enlist in the Tank Corps as T. E. Shaw, later transferring to the R.A.F...
