Summary "Left Half Harmon" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the theme of adolescent friendships and the pressures of sports, specifically football, as seen through the experiences of young boys at an academy. The main character, Willard Harmon, initially sets out for Kenly Academy but finds himself inadvertently pulled into the lives of a trio of boys from Alton Academy, leading to a mix of humor, rivalry, and team spirit. At the start of the novel, the three friends—Joe, Bob, and Martin—arrive in New York City and immediately encounter chaos when one of them is robbed. As they chase the thief, they notice another boy, Harmon, who helps stop the culprit, showcasing his athleticism. Their encounter eventually leads to a misunderstanding where the boys, seeing his potential, decide to keep Harmon from getting on his train to Kenly, believing they can convince him to stay at Alton. This incident sets the stage for a series of comical events, including Harmon’s unexpected “kidnapping” and the ensuing discussions where he weighs his options for school. The opening chapters lay a solid foundation for the exploration of camaraderie, competition, and growing up in a school setting. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
