Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"For the Good of the Team" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the dynamics of high school football, focusing on the relationships and challenges faced by the team members, particularly the main character, Stuart Harven, who is the youngest captain in the school's history. The novel delves into themes of teamwork, leadership, and the clash between tradition and new methods of coaching. At the start of the book, we meet Stuart Harven and his friend Jack Brewton as they travel back to Safford for the new school year. Their conversation hints at a looming transition with a new football coach, Mr. Haynes, whose unconventional methods create tension among the team. Readers are introduced to the setting at Manning School, the formation of friendships, and the challenges they will face during the football season, particularly as they prepare to defend their reputation against rival schools. The beginning effectively sets the stage for a narrative that will explore the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity, both on and off the field.
