DUDLEY AUTHOR OF “PHILLIPS EXETER SERIES” ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES COPELAND BOSTON LOTHROP, LEE & SHEPARD CO. Copyright, 1909, by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co. Published, August, 1909. All Rights Reserved. The School Four. PRINTED IN U.S.A. PREFACE “The School Four” is a story of football and rowing, its scene laid in a private school in an Eastern city. As in the Phillips Exeter books, the aim has been to keep the athletics practical and technically correct, and at the same time to present such conceptions of life and conduct as may encourage the boy reader to face his own school problems with the right spirit. Later volumes will treat successively of the city high school and the country boarding-school. To Mr. John Richardson, Jr., captain of the undefeated Harvard crew of 1908, the author owes a special debt for expert counsel, for the freedom of the Harvard coaching launch, and, above all else, for personal inspiration. A. T. DUDLEY.

Kill ’em, Bainbridge!” THE SCHOOL FOUR
