4.9/5 (34108 ratings)

Description:This fast-paced story of the making of a halfback holds all the feverish excitement of college football, viewed from behind the scenes. As in this popular author's previous books, a serious theme threads inconspicuously through the engrossing story of a brilliant boy who becomes a football hero in spite of himself.Bruce Benedict, quiet, studious, introverted, resenting his new step-father's friendly overtures, discovers in himself an inherent aptitude for sports, particularly football. When he is offered an athletic scholarship and it proves to be the only possible way for him to finance a college education, Bruce accepts it reluctantly. He is determined that he will play football only long enough to justify his acceptance. His attitude wins him the unenviable nickname of the "half-hearted halfback."Faced with a decision at the beginning of his sophomore year, Bruce is influenced by his gratitude to Joe Callahan, his best friend and a dedicated athlete. Scarcely aware of the change in himself, Bruce's experiences on the football field as he develops into a whole-hearted player influence his general attitude and crystallize his philosophy.Bruce Benedict's exciting story will appeal to any young reader, and will prove an invaluable guide in formulating a more mature outlook, a clearer understanding of personal values.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
