Summary "Forward Pass: A Story of the 'New Football'" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely in the early 1900s. The story revolves around the main character, Dan Vinton, who embarks on an exciting journey from his hometown in Ohio to Yardley Hall School in Connecticut, motivated by dreams of a rich boarding school experience and a passion for football. As Dan settles into his new environment, the narrative explores themes of education, youth friendship, and the challenges of fitting in at a prestigious institution. The opening of the story begins with Dan's emotional departure from his family while boarding a train to Yardley Hall. Reflecting on his aspirations for a spirited education away from his close-knit hometown, Dan is filled with both excitement and trepidation about the adventures that await him. Once at the school, he navigates the complexities of establishing new friendships, particularly that with his roommate Tubby Jones, who has a contrary personality. The narrative sets the stage for Dan's growth and challenges as he prepares for football tryouts and adjusts to the different social dynamics in a new setting, all while reminiscing about home and striving to prove himself in this new chapter of his life.
