About this book

Behind the Line is "A Story of College Life and Football" by Ralph Henry Barbour. The contents list includes, among others, chapters headed "PAUL CHANGES HIS MIND" and "NEIL MAKES THE VARSITY". A prefatory note acknowledges the author's indebtedness to "Mr. Lorin F. Deland, of Boston, for the football play described in Chapter XV."

On the field, "Hillton's ruse had won her a free kick, and in another moment the ball was arching toward the St. Eustace goal." Professor Beck says "Five minutes to play," and Gardiner answers "Time enough to win in." Paul asks "How bad is it, chum?" and Neil answers "Bad enough to spoil my chances for the Robinson game." Paul and Pearse are "circling well out in the middle of the field toward the Robinson goal".
