f
Grantland Rice the greatest
American sportswriter who has
ever lived grew up with many
many sports but perhaps viewed
the changing riffs in football with
greatest interest. He saw his first
game in 1892 "before he had
reached the dignity of long trous-
ers. . ."
He saw Yale's Flying Wedge
enter the picture in 1893 then
witnessed the outlawing of the
dangerous weapon. Shortly after
the turn of the century he saw
the introduction of the forward
pass and later the single and
double wing.
Though the grand old man of
sportswriting understood each
minute detail of 'new' playes in-
troduced one part of the almost
century-old sport left him be-
wildered even on his dying
day.
Rice who said football was
built upon "four main ingredi-
ents Courage mental and
physical condition spirit and its
terrific body contact" cited rule-
breaking as the one glaring
weakness of the sport.
In his book "The Tumult and
the Shouting" he attacks coaches
who place 100 per cent emphasis
on winning at any co't. He re-
buked the coaches who say "I'm
building character this year"
when they have a .poor season.
Eice said this is no laughing
matter and that a coach who isn't
building character should be fir
ed! If football is not character-
building it is no game to be
played.
We know that any member of
the HPC coaching staff can hon-
estly say. "I'm bml'ling charac-
ter this yeai" and no snicker is
in order following the comment.
Our coaches advocate good sports-
manship and win or lose they
are building character.
Grantland Rice had a way of
penning his thoughts in poetry-
He calls one of his poems "Foot-
ball's Answer:"
"They reform me each new sea-
son As they point to each new fault
And their hands are turned
against me
As they ciowd me to the vault.
But amid the growing clamor
They still know around the clan
I'm the soul college spirit
And the maker of a man.
O I know I'm far from perfect
When the autumn leaves turn red
When the tackle's neck is fur-
rowed By the half-back's heavy tread.
But you hear them still admitting
As they put me on the pan
'He's the soul of college spirit
And the maker of a man.'
Perhaps I'm overfcatured
In the headline's stirring plea
Perhaps I'm more important
Than a mere game ought to be;
But with all the sins they speak
of.
And the list is quite a span
I'm the soul of college spirit
And the maker of a man."
