THE writer of this book tells me that he has written it primarily for the schoolboys of America. He has done well to keep them uppermost in his mind, for they had no truer and no more understanding friend than Walter Camp. As a boy himself, he was just naturally all boy, a typical American boy full of spirit and dash, keen for play and competition, and revelling in wholesome sport and contest. As a man, he never lost the boy’s point of view. His interest in boys was unbounded, and his understanding of them was as sympathetic as it was complete. The schoolboys of America have for years regarded Walter Camp as their great friend. They will continue to do so for years to come, and they have a right to. For he has not only given them the greatest of all their sports, American Rugby Football, but has taught them how to play it, and how to keep fit. He has pointed out how these battles of the gridiron help to develop the qualities so essential to success in later life.
