accusations that the sport has been
compelled to face.
In spite of these criticisms and
these defects. however, football has
become during the autumn season, the
pre-eminent sport, especially in Amer

ball star is a college hero; ambition
to make the team is a chief desire in

over football victories is a powerful

almost every maneuver depends upon
a detailed division of labor. a distinct
