Summary

Wins, Losses, and Human Ties presents a historical and ethical interpretation of the football playing relationship that links Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Through his historical account of human ties, an account that is woven from game statistics, uniform styles, football schedules, and meteorological data, Daniel R. Gilbert, Jr. presents a new way of thinking about accomplishments in intercollegiate athletic competition. Intercollegiate athletic competitors create layered relationships when they become opponents. These opponents must then defend and reaffirm these relationships. In time, they leave a relational legacy to their successors. By working together, these competitors create an ethical accomplishment: their human ties.
