The New Boy at Hilltop and Other Stories

The Crimson Sweater-

It is chiefly a story of athletics, but it is also a fine study of boy and girl life.

Left Tackle Thayer-

Mr. Barbour knows "prep" school life thoroughly; he understands boys; he loves football, and he knows how to write a book which holds the attention of active, healthy boys. "Left Tackle Thayer" will appeal to any boy who ever caught a punt or made a tackle.
