Unquestionably football lost its greatest leader and personality. "Rock." as he was known to his boys. was not just a teacher of football and the physical side of athletics. He instilled the intellectual and moral values into athletics. He taught his players that sports were something clean and elevating and that clean living and straight thinking were the important parts of victory. In my lifetime I have seen and heard speak many of the great world personalities. but to me the outstanding one was the. immigrant Norwegian boy named Rockne. The great tragedy of Rocknes death has been suffered by the youth of America for the tremendous influence for good which he exerted upon them. Rockne was. above everything else. a builder of men.
