☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains multiple football-themed stories: "Bronko Nagurski," featuring the legendary player's recruitment to Centre College in Kentucky and his impressive performance on the field; "Casual Kazmaier of Princeton," chronicling a talented young athlete's journey to becoming an athletic director; "The Alabama Antelope," about the fabulous Don Hutson; and "Educated Toe," the story of Charley Brickley, a young football player from Everett, Massachusetts whose talent catches the attention of a local police officer during a snowy game in 1905.
A young man working at a packing plant in Fort Worth catches the eye of a high school coach after an act of honesty, leading him back to school and eventually to Centre College, where Alvin "Bo" McMillin becomes an unstoppable force on the football field alongside teammates Red Weaver and Red Roberts. As the "Praying Colonels" build their reputation through the 1921 season, all eyes turn toward their showdown with Harvard—a chance for McMillin and his team to prove themselves against one of the nation's elite programs.
Don Hutson arrives at the Green Bay Packers in 1935 with all the grace and speed that made him Alabama's greatest pass receiver, but the pro game is a different beast—and Curly Lambeau is determined to teach him that raw talent alone won't cut it. Watch as the Alabama Antelope learns to fake defenders, evolves into a complete player, and discovers that true greatness means lifting up your teammates, even when you're at the peak of your own career.
