...officer material for the military forces of the Nation. Nowhere has this fact been shown more plainly than in the small number of men who have responded to the call for football candidates. At Yale the total number who came out was nine--not men enough for one team, not to mention the necessary sub-elevens. In other colleges this same scarcity of men for major athletics has been constantly experienced...
