Boarding schools -- Juvenile fiction; Football stories
Author of “Quarterback Reckless,” “Batter Up,” etc. With Pictures in
Color. Cloth, Large 12mo. Price $1.25 net. By mail, $1.37.
An exciting story of life at Lansing Academy and particularly the life
of the football squad and the fellows who are trying to make the team.
A chief figure is Rudolph Kraft, a young German of tremendous strength,
who wants to make the team but prefers sausages and buckwheat cakes to
the plain food of the training table. The story is of football from
start to finish.
=Quarterback Reckless= By Hawley Williams
Colored Pictures and Colored Inlay on cover. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
A story of school life in which football takes a large part. The
intense rivalry between “Ches” Hall and “Tilly” Scott for the position
of quarterback on the ’Varsity team, some underhanded work by “Ches,”
his conscience-stricken endeavors to make amends, and his manly
behavior which finally gets him into the principal game of the season,
are dramatically described. A scene between “Ches” and his big brother
“Bob,” a former Lansing star, in which “Ches” is brought to his senses,
will be read with good effect by many boys who need just such advice to
make them manly.
=Danny Fists= By Walter Camp
Author of “The Substitute,” “Jack Hall at Yale,” etc. With Pictures in
Color. Cloth, Large 12mo. Price $1.35 net. By mail $1.47.
Another story by Walter Camp. That in itself is enough for any boy.
But Danny is not a Yale undergraduate. He is a lovable, hot-tempered
“prep school” lad who hopes some day to go to Yale, but who just now
is actively engaged in winning football games for Manor Hall. This is
probably the most exciting story Mr. Camp has ever written and the
football advice in it is within range of every school boy.
=Strike Three= By William Heyliger
Author of “The Captain of the Nine,” “Bartley, Freshman Pitcher,” etc.
With Pictures in Colors. Cloth, 12mo. Price $1.25 net. By mail $1.37.
This is a story of school life and baseball by a writer who is rapidly
becoming the favorite author of thousands of American boys through his
stories in The American Boy, The Boys’ Magazine and other juvenile
papers. “Strike Three” is a story of St. Mary’s School with the famous
Bartley again the hero; and the “inside baseball” which all boys love
to know about is here a-plenty. The manliness and sturdy courage of the
boys in Mr. Heyliger’s books make them well worth while.
=Bucking the Line= By William Heyliger
Author of “Bartley, Freshman Pitcher.” Illustrated. Cloth, $1.25.
A college story for boys, with football as the main theme. There is
a spirited plot dealing with the attempt of an unscrupulous boy to
discredit the best player on the football eleven.
=The Captain of the Nine= By William Heyliger
Author of “Bartley, Freshman Pitcher,” “Bucking the Line,” etc. 20 Pen
and Ink Pictures. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
