What, then, are these restrictions, and how can they be made consistent "with a fair average of success in conflict?" In part they comprise a maintenance of the limit on daily practice sessions to the present two hours and one half; in part an avoidance of the system of proselyting which some theorists of modern football claim the new "scientific" game demands. But principally they relate to the man in charge, to the head coach. In the past this has always been a Harvard graduate. Certainly it is desirable to maintain this system of graduate coaching wherever possible, but experience...
With today's game the A.A. plan ends its first year of trial. From the standpoint of gridiron success, the scheme is certainly not subject to serious criticism. Furthermore, we have no evidence to believe that the new coaches have introduced into Yale football any out-and-out commercial elements.

President Roosevelt, by relaxing completely the lax treasury restrictions...

The Lord Mayor of London started a fund for the dead men's' families. Before long ?90,000 had poured in. It was decided that the surplus should be used not only for a Scott monument but for the advancement of polar research. Professor Frank Debenham, Cambridge University geographer who had traveled with Scott, had an idea that became a vision...
