...there are any conclusions to be drawn from these figures, other than ethical ones on the use of Scotch endowments, the duty of the tennis athlete is the clearest of these. Football toil has watered his courts, whitened his base lines and paid for his southern trip; courtesy, as one athlete to another, demands that he fatten the scholastic average of football by his presence on the squad.

Commercial picture-dealers declare that they have never obtained pictures of the heirs to the Ford fortune, Edsel's son and daughter, barring one reproduction of a group painted in oils.
