So advised by those who decide which of Saturday's heroes will play next year for Sunday's paycheck, TIME'S choice for All-America...
...Major: physical education. Not notably fast but extraordinarily shifty and sure-handed on offense; blossomed this year on defense, piled up end sweeps, helped his team hold Army's famed halfbacks Anderson and Dawkins to 19 yds. rushing in 14 carries.

He agrees with none of them, thus underscoring Kazantzakis' belief that each man must make his own spiritual odyssey; no one else can make it for him, no ready-made belief can serve for each individual. The search is one for freedom-freedom from the demands of Odysseus' heart and mind. Kazantzakis seems to say: not until Odysseus is delivered from doubt, fear...
