About this book
Steve Edwards studies the Brimfield Academy catalogue with far more interest in its playing fields than its lessons. His father expects two years of serious preparation for college, while Steve and his friend Tom Hall dream of sharing a room and making the football team. Ralph Henry Barbour builds this school novel around the competing claims of sport, study and friendship.
At Brimfield, those competing claims become practical problems. Steve struggles through a Latin lesson under Mr. Simkins, earns extra written work and complains that football leaves him little time for books. Tom offers both a frank reminder and help with the assignment. The classroom exchanges bring humor to a story whose contents also promise tackling practice, matches and quarrels between friends. Readers interested in older school stories will find a close view of athletic ambition and the everyday pressures that accompany it.
