David Holt is to be commended for a wonderfully written article on the glorious – and inglorious – days of the GW Football Program. As (probably) one of the few Washington, D.C., natives teaching here, I was born within the sound of the crack of a bat from the old Griffith Stadium and remember attending both professional football and professional baseball games there. The late Shirley Povich, whom he cites in his article, would be proud of him.
