About this audiobook

Henry Seeley is a copy-reader on a city newspaper, once a Yale football star. He has never lived down one afternoon, when he fumbled the ball in a game against Princeton. Now his son Ernest is the freshman full-back, and the old game is being played again in front of ten thousand people. Ernest makes a terrible blunder of his own. Ralph D Paine's football story is about what a boy does with a mistake, and what a father learns watching him. Read by Justin Straight. Forty-one minutes, and a good one for sports fans.
