So he invented the Code Hero, the code being "what we have instead of God," as Lady Brett Ashley puts it in The Sun Also Rises...

One son, Spectator-Sportsman James D. Norris (deposed front man for the hoodlum-hampered International Boxing Club), is co-owner of the Black Hawks, while another son, Bruce, and Daughter Marguerite are co-owners of the Red Wings. In the new, wide-open competition of professional hockey, the Norris clan has inherited a rewarding family...
