Any boy who has thrilled to the shot of the starting gun and the crunch
of spiked shoes on cinders will enjoy the story of Larry Craven, for

Olympic games. But all was not smooth going for Larry, for he had many
obstacles to surmount and he had enemies who plotted against him. How he
won out over his difficulties makes an exciting and vivid sports story.
