Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
How are you getting along with your studies? Jim Thorpe:
Well, not very good, I'm afraid. I never was much with books. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
Yes, I know what you mean: studying, reading, doing a lot of things, they come awfully hard. I had the same problems when I went to school. It's always hard at the beginning. Jim Thorpe:
Well, it's - it's more than that, Mr. Warner; I don't know what I want to do, or what I want to be. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
Look around you, Jim, look at those faces. All of those kids have problems; a lot of them don't know what they want to be, what they want to do. They'll find out soon enough what they want most in life, so will you. All I'm trying to say is: give Carlisle a chance. And incidentally, don't be afraid of sports, Jim, they're good for you, teach you how to relax, make you sleep well. Look me up; you'll find me in my office or the athletic field. Been nice talking to you
