“ Up in the grand stands and bleachers the people will cheer you, and think that you are doing your best, just as they know they would if they were down on the field. They do not appreciate the fact that this game is only seventy minutes of your three months of work. They do not realize that day after day you have worked till you were ready to drop, till the breath was out of your body, till only your pride and your love of the old college kept you on your feet. ”

“ Lats sailed up into the air; men and women sang and shouted; the varsity yell rang out clear and loud, and the “tiger” on the end came like the belch of a cannon.

“ And you, who have worked with me, who have been waiting for a chance to play this game, and to feel the ball tucked under your arm and bear thousands cheering you on—you know what it means to you. I want you to win, boys, and I shall expect every man to play as he has never played before. I want every man to stick till the final whistle, with Baby Elton receiving instructions from the head coach. ”
