"I had a moral right to play on the team in that game, but I had to get the legal right by force. Professor Burgess refused to permit me to play until I MADE him do it." Fenneben's eyes were smiling.

When at night she had put little Toni in his tiny bed she would kneel down beside him and repeat aloud the old hymn, which now came from the depths of her heart, as never before: Oh, God of Love, oh Father-heart, In whom my trust is founded, I know full well how good Thou art E'en when by grief I am wounded.
