About This Book

The narrative follows students at Yardley Hall as they launch a football season, balancing training, tactics, and school loyalty under a conscientious captain. Practices and rival games, alongside changes in play that emphasize kicking and coordinated signals, occupy much of the action, while pranks, a mysterious kicker, a plotted sabotage, and the kidnapping of a player introduce off-field danger. Interludes—golf, a mushroom outing, and social gatherings—develop friendships and test leadership, building toward the morning of the decisive game and a final set of plays in which teamwork and strategy determine the season's outcome.
