Good Clean Violence

This profusely illustrated book offers an informative history of college football--the great teams, stars, plays, and coaches of its 103 years. The story focuses particularly on the strategists whose genius shaped the game. Among the all-time great coaches included here are Pop Warner, Hurry-Up Yost, Alonzo Stagg, Knute Rockne, and Woody Hayes, to name but a few. Here, too, are the players--men like Jim Thorpe, George Gipp, Red Grange, Tom Harmon, and Johnny Lujack. Kaye places the story in the context of its times, finding both heroes and victims, but concentrating always on how the masterminds of strategy fared on Saturday afternoon in the dramatic conditions of actual play. The text is illustrated throughout by an outstanding collection of photographs, some very rare.
