About this book
The Half-Back, subtitled A Story of School, Football, and Golf, is by Ralph Henry Barbour and is dated 1909. The story is dedicated to every American boy who loves honest, manly sport. The contents list names chapters called The Boy in the Straw Hat, The Golf Tournament, The Game with St. Eustace and The Boat Race, among others.
Stony Bunker lies close to the river bluff and is the terror of all Hillton golfers. West hurries after a provoking ball that flew clear over the bunker as though possessed of wings and disappeared over the bluff. The text has the opposing captains flip a coin, with St. Eustace taking the ball and the home team choosing the northern goal. The runner comes to earth on the twenty-three-yard line, with Joel tugging at him in the hope of advancing the pigskin another foot.
