1 sceneGlenn 'Pop' Warner: But we've got to answer them somehow, Rock. You, Spaulding, Stagg, Jones and myself - we've given the best years of our life to this game. We can't stand by now and do nothing.
Howard Jones We've come here from all over the country, Rock - hoping you'd go to New York with us, and face this committee.
Alonzo Stagg
It's for the boys - millions of boys throughout the country! It's their game we're fighting for.
Bill Spaulding
Pop Warner is right - we can't ignore their charges. Have you read all they've said about us?
Sure - I've read every word of it. Public educators, huh? Never read such a lot of lies in my life.
Alonzo Stagg
