| Summary |
"Dick Merriwell's Trap; Or, The Chap Who Bungled" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young hero named Dick Merriwell, a cadet at Fardale Military Academy, who must navigate the trials of team sports, rivalry, and personal challenges. Merriwell's bravery and determination manifest in both the football arena and in real-life situations, such as saving a girl from a runaway horse. The opening of the book captures the tense atmosphere of a crucial football game between Fardale Military Academy and Hudsonville. As the game hangs in the balance, Hal Darrell, a conflicted player, contemplates sabotaging the final goal kick for his captain, Dick Merriwell, due to his own jealousy. Instead, Hal overcomes his dark temptation and supports Merriwell, who ultimately leads the team to victory against the odds. The chapter sets the stage for Merriwell’s character—determination, honor, and a commitment to doing right by his teammates, especially as he deals with the complexities of friendships and budding romances.
