...Mr. Cason did not say and I have never said as TIME published "that a football player has no time or thought to give to anything but football unless he is willing to subject himself to abnormal strain."

"Success" is "The Twelve Pound Look" plus "Dear Brutus" in theme, scored delicately for a small orchestra.
