"IT'S
the way a man takes care of himself that makes him
an athlete. He has to eat enough good food and be
temperate in all of his habits.
"I have been here at Nebraska for
twenty-three years, and will probably be here as
long as I can work; I always have and always will
try to keep the boys from doing those things that
don't do them any good. There isn't anything that I
wouldn't do for the boys. I feel just like they are
mine, and when they come back after they have
graduated I always like to see them and they always
come around here to the 'Gym' and see me.
"I have had lots of offers, since
I have been here, but I am going to stick right
here at old Nebraska and help turn out the kind of
men that not only makes winning teams but also
upholds our standards when they get out in the
world."
