Excerpt from The Story of the Stadium No temples have these ancient Indians left us, and no books. But we have a heritage from them, direct through the pioneers who fought them and learned to know them. It is the 'great Heart, the fighting spirit, the spirit of individualism, of teaching our children to be free but brave and to have a God - for these are the laws 'of our tribe. See us today living vitally in our heritage. W'atch us play football; see us on the cinder track, on the base ball diamond We are different, somehow, we of the middle west - not particularly better, but different. We are uniquely ourselves.
