This all-around unpleasant situation is actually futile, for it can only succeed in provoking some righteous indignation around the Union; aside from that it will have no effect. Such attacks can only break their force on the solid rock of undergraduate support of the team and its coaches. Those who are closest to the team, the students of the College, have only the highest praise for Dick Harlow and the spirit of the players he works with.

His men and women are integral parts of the landscape; humanity is just as deeply rooted in the earth as a massive rock or a tree. Fiene speaks much in the same manner. His men are on a par with the countryside which they inhabit. But his is a new kind of landscape, one bristling with cranes and pulleys, a valley of machines whose wheels seem as if they might revolve...
