E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Charlie Kirschner, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Behind the Line: A Story of College Life and Football" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around college life, particularly focusing on the camaraderie and challenges faced by college football players in a competitive environment. The main characters, Neil Fletcher and Paul Gale, are fresh out of high school and are navigating the ups and downs of college athletics as they try to establish their places on the football team while dealing with friendships, ambitions, and rivalries. The opening of the novel immerses readers in the excitement and tension of a pivotal football game between Hillton and St. Eustace on Thanksgiving Day. Hillton, despite being the underdog, rallies against St. Eustace's strong players, with Neil Fletcher and Paul Gale playing crucial roles on the field. The narrative sets a vivid scene of the game's strategies, the characters' emotional stakes, and the supportive atmosphere created by their peers. The opening chapters also hint at the dynamics of their friendship, as the boys adjust to their new lives, contend with offers from rival colleges, and find themselves entangled in both football and social politics at Erskine College.
