"He (Jim Thorpe) was the greatest athlete of his time, maybe the greatest of any time in any land and he needed no gilded geegaws to prove it. The proof is in the records and the memories of the men who knew him and watched him and played with him - especially those who tried to play football against him." - Red Smith in the New York Herald Tribune (March 29, 1953)
