Super Sports, February 1947

This February 1947 issue of Super Sports magazine contains two novelets and six short stories focused on athletic competition. "The Killer Coach" by T. W. Ford follows Dexter University's football team, whose players resent Coach Ab Fortson's conservative strategy of grinding out yards with ground plays before opening up the aerial attack late in games. The squad faces tension when they want to deploy their flashy modern offense earlier. "Roscoe and the Magic Bat" by Arthur Mann concerns a baseball manager suspicious of a player whose batting average seems impossibly high. Short stories include boxing, track, tennis, golf, and baseball tales by authors including A. R. Thurman, Ted Stratton, Richard Brister, and others. Features include "The History Professor Goes to Ebbetts Field" and commentary pieces.
