Give a dog a bad name and hang him"" -- the text for this story of a youth nicknamed ""Brute"" in Annapolis and living up to his reputation. From failure at the Academy to professional boxing he goes. One humanitarian gesture loses him the championship, but wins the girl he had previously lost. Masculine appraisal of strength and skill -- a book for men and older boys, though limited in appeal.
