A FULL-BACK AFLOAT
At the close of his first year in college Dick Melvin is induced to earn
a passage to Europe by helping on a cattle steamer. The work is not so

in emergency which he has gained from football.

THE HALF-MILER
[Illustration]
This is the story of a young man of positive character facing the stern
problem of earning his way in a big school. The hero is not an imaginary
compound of superlatives, but a plain person of flesh and blood, aglow
with the hopeful idealism of youth, who succeeds and is not spoiled by
success. He can run, and he does run--through the story.
"It is a good, wholesome, and true-to-life story, with
plenty of happenings such as normal boys enjoy reading
about."--_Brooklyn Daily Times._
