...class there should have been four and five teams. When we are providing healthy exercise and recreation for men on such a scale, we are beginning-to approach the ideal where all men will accept the chance to strengthen their bodies in good, wholesome games and develop a competitive spirit by measuring their ability with others. When we have twice the number of men playing class football as at present it will not only provide sport of the right sort for just so many more men, but it will increase the value of their exercise as the competition becomes keener...
...well under way as a captain in every sense of the word and then to be deprived of the very thing most desired is a bitter disappointment. No man has deserved more than Captain Burr the pleasure and thrill of leading a team to victory. His has been the spirit of that team from the very first game to the last.

Extravagant publicity, distracting and confusing social influences, many of the evils of the mob spirit, are undeniably present. It is not so clearly demonstrable that the game, under present conditions of attendance, favors "in the mass of spectators a loyal life and a practical love of loyalty." This is Professor Royce's test of the real value of the game. To confute him would require considerable skill...
