Description

Dick Hamilton returns to Kentfield Military Academy after a leisurely cruise, only to discover that the school’s football eleven has become a laughingstock among rival academies. When a snobbish challenge from Blue Hill Academy is flatly rejected, the cadets are humiliated and desperate for a way to restore their pride. Determined to turn the tide, Dick decides to intervene, drawing on his resources and confidence as a young millionaire.

He brings in two star coaches—one from Princeton, the other from Yale—to whip the ragtag team into championship shape. While the boys endure grueling drills and learn the true meaning of teamwork, Dick also wrestles with a separate crisis: securing his father’s dwindling fortune by acquiring a crucial electric‑road stock from a cantankerous old man. Alongside loyal friends, a fierce bulldog named Grit, and the eccentric Uncle Ezra Larabee, the story captures the spirited hustle of early‑20th‑century academy life, promising plenty of humor, rivalry, and the first steps toward a triumphant comeback.
