Contains 5 stories
The Great Gipp
5 pp · Non-Fiction, Biography, Sports

George Gipp arrives at Notre Dame with little interest in football, but the discovery of his natural talent—and his willingness to excel at any position—transforms him into one of the Fighting Irish's greatest players. From his game-winning field goal as a freshman to his courageous returns despite injury, Gipp becomes an All-America star whose legacy outlasts his tragically brief life. His final words to coach Knute Rockne would echo through Notre Dame history.

Muzz is Buzzin'
5 pp · Non-Fiction, Biography, Sports

Murray "Muzz" Patrick is a virtuoso athlete who excels at everything he tries—from track and cycling to boxing and basketball—but finds his true calling in hockey, following his father's footsteps into professional play with the New York Rangers. Starting with the minor leagues and eventually becoming a top defenseman known for clean, skilled play, Muzz proves he's earned his place in the sport through hard work and determination rather than family connections. When war calls, he enlists and serves in France, but returns ready to continue his hockey career at the highest level.

Captain Warren Clear faces off against Captain Kitamura, the Imperial Army's jiu-jitsu champion, in a 1923 diplomatic match that quickly turns brutal when the Japanese side abandons the agreed-upon rules. With the bout descending into a dirty brawl, Clear must rely on boxing skill, quick thinking, and sheer determination to overcome an opponent playing by no rules at all.
