FOLLOWING THE BALL
Here is an up-to-date story presenting American boarding-school life and modern athletics. Football is an important feature, but it is a story of character formation in which athletics play an important part.
“Mingled with the story of football is another and higher endeavor, giving the book the best of moral tone.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
MAKING THE NINE
The life presented is that of a real school, interesting, diversified, and full of striking incidents, while the characters are true and consistent types of American boyhood and youth. The athletics are technically correct, abounding in helpful suggestions, and the moral tone is high and set by action rather than preaching.
“The story is healthful, for, while it exalts athletics, it does not overlook the fact that studious habits and noble character are imperative needs for those who would win success in life.”—Herald and Presbyter, Cincinnati.
IN THE LINE
Tells how a stalwart young student won his position as guard, and at the same time made equally marked progress in the formation of character. Plenty of jolly companions contribute a strong, humorous element, and the book has every essential of a favorite.
“The book gives boys an interesting story, much football information, and many lessons in true manliness.”—Watchman, Boston.
