Husky John Brookes taught school in Washington for six years to put himself through George Washington University, left in 1913 with a gridiron reputation, an M. A. and LL.B. cum laude.

Conceit rather than the C.I.O. accounts for the fact that the villain, Tycoon Loring, finally gets the whole town down on him, including the high school football team. With its neat plot and smooth dialogue, The Stars and Stripes Forever is a sort of left wing Satevepost story-an attempt to adapt to left wing fiction the technique of catching gas bombs and tossing them back before they explode...

The second period goals were chalked up by Henry Kidder and Bill Waters, while Colwell made the conversion.
