Criticism of All-American honors and sports notes
The piece argues that repeatedly selecting all American stars does not devalue them and cites Hare Eckersoll Mahan and others as examples. It notes Grange in the Big Ten era, questions boxing promotions in 1928 Olympic bowling, and previews a planned Greb Delaney bout as an example of perceived decadence in sports culture.
