The Racer Boys At Boarding School or Striving for the Championship
When the Racer Boys arrived at the school they found everything at astand-still. The school was going down rapidly and the students lackedambition and leadership. They lacked even the heart to take part inany athletic contests. The Racers took hold with a will, and got theirfather to aid the head of the school financially, and then reorganizedthe football team. Much to the astonishment of everybody, the schoolwon the championship of the league.
The Racer Boys To The Rescue or Stirring Days in a Winter Camp
