3. Phelps (1939), pp. 84-85: "I can well remember, when we used to 'choose up sides' at football, how the first choice invariably went to Se Chung [Ting Sze Chung (Deng Shicong 邓士聪 I, 25], a short-thick-set boy, built close to the ground, who ran like a hound and dodged like a cat. What Se Chung had in grace and speed, Kong had in bull strength. Built broad and strong, eternally good-natured and smiling, he would cross the goal line, carrying four or five Americans on his shoulders."
