| Summary |
In this fascinating 1922 work, former Harvard quarterback and University of Wisconsin head football coach Paul Withington presents a collection of articles written by players, captains and coaches of the era on topics ranging from football ("Football Generalship: the Captain, and the Quarterback") to rowing ("How to Train a Crew"). For Olympic fans, Earl J. Thomson, a gold medalist in the 110-meter hurdles at the 1920 Olympic Games, gives a rare firsthand account of his experiences at the Antwerp games ("[An innovation at this set of Games] was the appearance of the Olympic flag, with its five entwined circles, multicolors on a white background...") A must-read for any sports fan, this illustrated volume gives a unique glimpse at the sports world in the first decades of the 20th century. |
