...have no fear for the star athlete, the cream of our young men, who have gone, but I do fear for the men who were discouraged because they could not make the first team, and sank back to become athletic slackers when they were in college because they thought they were not good nough. They consider themselves good enough to go and fight their country's battles, however, and we, with our old system of athletics, in which we placed the premium on the specialized expert, have really denied them the physical training that they find so necessary...
