Frank Merriwell's Setback [Paperback]

In its various forms it was an old trick, and it ought not to have worked on Starbright, who had come from the famous preparatory college at A ndover. But by some chance, Dick had never heard of it, and the sophomores, discovering this, prepared to work him with it. It was a principle with the lordly sophomores to annoy freshmen, and the towering young giant, who had already made himself so famous at Yale, suffered as much at their hands as less noted mortals.
