| Summary | "Quarter-Back Bates" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Richard "Dick" Bates, a popular and talented high school football player who is leaving his hometown for Parkinson School to advance his education and pursue his passion for the sport. As he embarks on this new journey, the narrative explores themes of friendship, competition, and the challenges of fitting into a new environment. At the start of the book, we find Dick Bates at a train station, surrounded by friends and well-wishers as he prepares to leave for Parkinson. His father shows pride in his son’s popularity, while Dick maintains a modest demeanor despite secretly enjoying the attention. The opening chapters introduce various characters, such as his future roommate Gard and a quirky fellow student named Washington P. Quiggle, offering a glimpse into the social dynamics at the preparatory school. Dick's initial experiences illustrate his transition from small-town life to the more competitive atmosphere at Parkinson, setting the stage for his development both in football and personal relationships.
