Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
[inside the cafeteria]
You're Jim Thorpe. Jim Thorpe:
That's right. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
Glad to meet you Jim, I'm Pop Warner. You mind if I sit down? I'd like to talk to you a minute. Jim Thorpe:
No. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
That was quite an exhibition you put on this morning. Jim Thorpe:
Exhibition? Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
Don't you know what you did? You ran the 2:20 flat in 23 seconds flat with your clothes on. Why haven't you come out for the team? Jim Thorpe:
Well, I hadn't figured on coming out for the team. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
You just run for exercise, is that it? Jim Thorpe:
I don't rightly know why I run. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
You don't like it here, do you? Jim Thorpe:
No, I don't. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
Then why have you come? Jim Thorpe:
Because I promised someone; he's dead. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
You know, you're the first Sac & Fox I've met here. That's Oklahoma territory, isn't it? Jim Thorpe:
Yes. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
Originally from Wisconsin? Jim Thorpe:
Illinois. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
Oh yes, Illinois; part of the Algonquins? Jim Thorpe:
Yes, That's right. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
A great warrior tribe, great traditions. What do they do now? Jim Thorpe:
Oh, a little farming, a little weaving. They sell blankets at the railway station. Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner:
Yes, I know. That's why Carlisle was founded, Jim: so that your people can do more than sell blankets at the railway station. The trouble is, too many Indian boys take the easy way out; they quit school and go back to the reservation
