Nick Charles had been a private detective, had gladly retired when he married a well-to-do wife. Junketing in Manhattan with his congenial spouse (like all good Hammett characters, Nick is a dogged, early-&-late drinker), he finds himself gradually dragged into an annoying mystery. Clyde Wynant, half-crazy but successful inventor, a onetime client of Nick's, has awkwardly disappeared just when his secretary-mistress has been murdered. Wynant's lawyer, Wynant's remarried ex-wife both want him found, think Nick is the man for the job. But Nick is having too good...
...back in Red Franklin, a fast, shifty, 160-lb. fellow who punts well and passes. The rest of the backs block for him. They average about 185 Ib. ...

After Red Franklin's amazing 93-yd. runback of the kickoff for a touchdown, Fordham marched steadily to a tying touchdown in the second...

South Dakota's Tom Berry, a broad-brimmed plush hat of sandy hue above his leathery face, took the steps in a rolling cowboy gait. The one who looked like a church deacon, Clyde Herring of Iowa, marched along sedately. Wrinkled Albert George Schmedeman, who had been debating with himself all day whether or not to proclaim martial law in Wisconsin, looked troubled and tiny beside moose-tall William Langer of North Dakota, who chews cigars with the cellophane wrapper peeled halfway down...
