LOOK OUT FOR NUMBER 34!! "Once Upon A Team" blasts off!

This book was conceived 44 years ago while I was still in college. Finally it is born and ready for the world of readers hungry for novels that combine heavy sports action, college life, nostalgia, and of course, romance! Once Upon A Team is the story of a young man who in 1939 gets a belated second chance to play football; this time with the Draeger Agricultural Institute Sodbusters of Temple, Texas! The fictional military school apes the Texas A&M College experience of those years (even though I play fast and loose with what THAT school was like in 1939). Still the news and the music of the day are all right there in the background of this (to me) exciting sports novel. With the addition of older freshman, Harold Benjamin "Dynamite" Murphy from Lampasas, Texas the Sodbusters have a great opportunity to win the Brazos Valley Conference Championship for the first time ever. The only team apparently that can stop them is the famed, perennial conference champ: Wichita Falls' "Tecumseh State University Warriors." The only other thing that could stop them is their own foolish pride. And the huge wrench in the engine is an unplanned event of love-at-first-sight AND a rivalry with Draeger's Biggest Man on Campus: the infamous Lucas Melvin Burry! So if you want to just cut loose, forget the troubles of today (and all the whining and wailing of the "demon kraut" Left in this country) get this book and start reading.
