How Your Brain Decides Without You - Issue 42: Fakes

An autumn classic matching the unbeaten Tigers, with star tailback Dick Kazmaier--a gifted passer, runner, and punter who would capture a record number of votes to win the Heisman Trophy--against rival Dartmouth. Princeton prevailed over Big Green in the penalty-plagued game, but not without cost: Nearly a dozen players were injured, and Kazmaier himself sustained a broken nose and a concussion (yet still played a "token part"). It was a "rough game," The New York Times described, somewhat mildly, "that led to some recrimination from both camps." Each said the other played dirty. The game not only made the sports pages, it made the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology.
