| Summary |
"Jimmy Kirkland of the Cascade College Team" by Hugh S. Fullerton is a sports fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around James "Larry" Kirkland, a young freshman navigating his new life at Cascade College, where he grapples with feelings of insignificance, rivalry, and the pursuit of athletic achievement on the baseball field. With a backdrop of camaraderie among students from various backgrounds, the narrative also delves into themes of personal growth and resilience. At the start of the novel, we meet Larry Kirkland, freshly enrolled at Cascade College, feeling both eager and isolated amid the joyful return of other students. As he observes the friendly reunions and engages with classmates, he tries to find his footing but is reminded of his unfamiliarity in this new environment. Larry's initial encounters highlight his athletic background and aspirations, yet he struggles with the looming presence of a rival, Harry Baldwin, who jeopardizes his standing. This opening effectively sets the stage for Larry's journey of self-discovery and redemption within the competitive, sometimes hostile atmosphere of college athletics.
