About this issue

This pulp magazine contains twelve sports stories across multiple athletic disciplines. The featured novelet "The Red-Light Express" by John Wilson involves a hockey player battling dramatic challenges on ice. "Kill the Champ!" by Duane Yornell follows Rowdy, whose lucky knockout victory makes him champion but also the most despised fighter in the ring. The third novelet, "Babe in the Backfield" by John Wilson, chronicles Rube Brill's path through football toward both fame and infamy. Additional stories address football ("Warmer's Grid Grudge" by M. M. Tinney; "The Touchdown Fool" by Dale Cochrane), basketball ("Basket Larceny" by David X. Manners), track ("Stooge for a Spike King" by Jay Thorburn; "Cinder-Path Time"), boxing ("Fight Fever" by Hank Willard), and horse racing ("Beggars Don't Ride" by Dean Parker). Story titles suggest themes of earning athletic success honestly rather than through shortcuts or past misdeeds.
