With a bare two minutes left, Mayo pulled off the flashiest play of the game: apparently kneeling to hold a field-goal try on fourth down, he carefully kept his knee off the ground, rose to fire a 21-yd. strike to Quinlan to put the Air Force on the Army 21.

Nowadays few people except Wife Vivienne would dare talk so impiously to Hub Robinson.

A too-sensitive English schoolboy goes astray on the devious paths of life and love, comes to believe that the game is not worth the candle, but is brought back to himself through the influence of Horab Greenbloom, one of the flashiest intellectual priests of the life-to-the-hilt school in recent fiction history...
