This issue of Super Sports contains six fiction pieces centered on athletic competition. The three novelets are: "Give It a Ride, Rookie!" by Duane Yarnell (baseball), following young Chip Rafferty, a slender minor-league shortstop trying to prove himself before his estranged father, a major-league owner; "Big League Stage Fright" by Cliff Campbell (baseball); and "Loser Take All" by Mat Rand (boxing), centered on a boxer named Callano facing a championship bout where everyone wants him to lose. Short stories include "Them Dressin' Room Blues" by Richard Brister (boxing), "Track Trail" by Roe Richmond (track), "Things Could Be Verse" by Tom Thursday (fighting/humor), "Showdown at Shortstop" by T.W. Ford (baseball), and "Dope from the Dugout" by Wilcey Earle (facts and fun). The magazine includes advertisements for self-improvement courses and product pitches alongside its sports fiction.
