Nearly thirty college stars and champions, men like Dr. Kraenzlein, Thorpe, Ketcham, “Sammy” White, “Eddie” Hart, Ralph Craig, “Hurry Up” Yost, Jay Camp, Horner, Jackson, F. D. Huntington, R. Norris Williams, “Eddie” Mahan, and many more tell the best there is to tell about every form of athletic contest of consequence. In charge of the whole work is Paul Withington, of Harvard, famous as football player, oarsman, wrestler and swimmer.
“Here is a book that will serve a purpose and satisfy a need. Every important phase of sport in school and college is discussed within its covers by men who have achieved eminent success in their line. Methods of training, styles of play, and directions for attaining success are expounded in a clear, forceful, attractive manner.”
Harvard Monthly.
“The book is made up under the direction of the best qualified editor to be found, Paul Withington, who is one of America’s greatest amateur athletes, and who has the intellectual ability and high character requisite for presenting such a book properly. The emphasis placed upon clean living, fair play and moderation in all things makes this book as desirable educationally as it is in every other way.”
Outdoor Life.
“That Mr. Withington’s book will be popular we do not doubt. For it contains a series of expert treatises on all important branches of outdoor sports. A very readable, practical, well-illustrated book.”
