| Summary | "Bert Wilson on the Gridiron" by J. W. Duffield is a fictional sports novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Bert Wilson and his teammates as they strive to succeed in college football, facing challenges both on and off the field. The novel captures the competitive spirit and camaraderie of young athletes as they navigate the pressures of sports, criticism, and personal conflicts. At the start of the book, the reader is thrown into an intense practice session where the underdog "scrubs" dare to challenge the esteemed "Varsity" football team. The atmosphere is charged with determination and camaraderie, highlighting the rivalry between the two teams as the scrubs fiercely hold their ground against the Varsity players. Just as it seems the scrubs might pull off an upset, the Varsity manages to secure a narrow victory through a late-game kick, setting the stage for themes of perseverance and the quest for redemption among the characters, particularly Bert Wilson, who is determined to earn his place among the stars of the sport.
