The boy who likes football will find a good technical description of
the game in this book as well as a fine story showing how the newest
tactics work out in practice.
Double Play
A story to follow “Forward Pass,” relating new adventures in the life
of the hero. Baseball has a large place in the story, but other school
events are entertainingly described.
Winning His “Y”
“Money-bags” and “Miss Nancy” are two nicknames given Gerald Pennimore
when he arrives at Yardley, due to his father’s millions. How he lives
them both down and wins his “Y” make an exciting story.
For Yardley
Another Yardley story with Gerald Pennimore well to the fore among
the characters. Why Gerald was put on probation and how he bore his
punishment are the chief matters of interest.
Change Signals
Kendall Burtis comes from the country and this is the story of how he
develops into a star kicker and the hero of the big game of the season.
Around the End
Kendall Burtis has developed into a star player, when suddenly it is
discovered that someone has turned traitor and sold the team’s signals
to Broadwood. Kendall is accused, and the outcome is a surprise to
everyone.
