Brief description:
From the dust jacket:
The colorful and spirited cadet life at ‘West Point does not completely absorb Joe McMinn during his final year. ]oe's brilliant success on the footballfield makes him a national figure and spreading his popularity among influential people outside the Academy. His roommates sense that his interests are diverted from cadet life, while |oe is dazzled by impressive offers of money to play professional football. There is also pretty Cinda Holden, who has come to mean much to him.
But the four vigorous years at West Point have not gone by without leaving their impact on Joe. With the help of his roommates, Larry Warren and Knox Parker -- whom the reader will remember from WARREN OF WEST POINT -- ]oe McMinn realizes that the motto “duty, honor, country” has a special meaning for him—and that he has to fulfill an obligation both to himself and to the long gray line of West Point men that has formed through the years since the Academy was founded.
