When Tom Parsons went to Randall he was looked upon as a mere country lad, a “hayseed.” But Tom had played baseball at home and was a good pitcher, and he soon proved his ability, and was put on the scrub nine. He had some bitter rivals, who tried to keep him down, but he got on the varsity at last. A faithful picture of college life of to-day, with its hazings, its grinds, its pretty girls and all.
A Quarter-back’s Pluck

Batting To Win
A Story of College Baseball
As before, Tom, Phil and Sid are to the front. Sid, in particular, has developed into a heavy hitter, and the nine depend upon him to bring in the needed runs. And then something happens, and poor, misjudged Sid is barred from playing. Then at the last moment, Sid clears himself and is reinstated; and helps to pound out a victory that will make every reader feel like cheering.
The Winning Touchdown
A Story of College Football
Football was a serious proposition at Randall that year. There had been the loss of several old players, and then, almost at the last moment, another good player had to be dropped. How, in the end, they made that glorious touchdown that won the big game, is told in a way that must be read to be appreciated. Beyond doubt, one of the greatest college football stories ever penned.
