CINDER CYCLONE

by Howard M. Brier ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 26, 1952

A run of the mill track story with a touch of politics and newspaper life by a well known writer in the sports field. Steve Potter, a senior at Hillchuck High, in a town in the state of Washington, has been a star for three years in the 100 and the 220 yard dashes. His father is the editor of the town's Chronicle and complications develop when the father of Steve's rival trackman, Mark Heath, a politician, makes the mistake of accepting a too costly architect's bid for the new town hall and is caught in a crooked deal. With these events behind him, Steve again beats Mark in their first year at college. Too, he does some cub reporting and he manages to discover that girls are people. Steve is not as quick with his head as with his feet, but trail runs with spikes and pen make this fairly readable copy.
