WHILE THE CROWD CHEERS

Seven of the author's published sports stories are a sampling of the field from the diamond to the track. Behind the stock plots and situations are heroes like young Ted Ryan who learns college football isn't kid stuff, oldster Cleve Brewster who's taken out of moth bails at the age of thirty-seven to pitch again, and Jim Bell who helps pull a top basketball team off the skids. Sportsiana a la Pollyanna.
