Jim Davis, the most popular man on the Grayson campus, was determined to
make the football team. His roommates Bob Clark and Chub Garver were
already football man and cheerleader respectively. It was easy for Jim
to become Coach Kelso’s star passer, but it wasn’t so easy to stay on
the team. First, there was the secret between Professor Burke and Jim;
second, there was Weldy Gray, who was out to ruin Jim at any cost.
_On the Forty-Yard Line_ is a story filled with the excitement of
football, and the courage and loyalty of three pals who fight with equal
abandon for their school and for each other.
