To us, the high-resounding “isms” to which our contemporaries ask; us to give our allegiance, now, in 1948, are all equally futile: bound to be betrayed, defeated, and finally rejected by men at large, if containing anything really noble; bound to enjoy, for the time being, some sort of noisy success; if sufficiently vulgar, pretentious and soul-killing to appeal to the growing number of mechanically conditioned slaves that crawl about our planet, posing as free men; all destined to prove, ultimately, of no avail. ↗

Punches are coming at you, there's physical contact, muscle against muscle. ↗

I certainly look at the modern guys and think they are a different species to when we played. They are fitter and their conditioning is extraordinary. ↗
