Again, when popular indigna- tion does pursue an infringement of athletic integrity, it commonly concerns itself with the academic status of the players. If a college athlete uses his single talent and plays ball for a living during the summer vacation, then the ama- teur spirit is troubled as tricking the umpire never troubles it. I do not defend the encroachment of the professional 174 ATHLETICS AND MORALS into the amateur field; I deplore it; but I maintain that our American spirit of sport ...concerns itself more with tech- nicalities than with that single-minded devotion which gives to the word amateur the full significance of the lover who follows sports for sport's own sake. I have spoken of the moral technicalities of athletics. Even persons with a maturer moral code than student honor may well be puzzled by them. In one of his admirable es- says on athletics and decency, Dean Briggs gives an amus- ing instance of a Harvard end-rush, in the pink of condi- tion, who limped through a hard game, allowing his knee to impersonate, so to speak, the injured joint of the other end, whose weakness had been heralded in the enemy's camp, and, by his acting, deluded his adversaries into at- tacking his line at its strongest instead of its weakest point.
