"If undergraduates were released from unnatural domination of their sports by graduate coaches, intercollegiate sport would be liberated from the abnormal incubus of a superimposed system which tends to make puppets of the players. In order that men may be resourceful in time of emergency they must be schooled in the art of resourcefulness by some stimulation of their latent powers of ingenuity."
