Linebacker Jim Nardi's an intrepid tackler but he's terrified of being tackled himself and, after several dropped passes, everybody knows it. "You'll play until you get the feeling knocked out of you, one way or another," Swears big brother Doug, team coach, former high school star and - Jim learns from old clippings - a one-time fumbler himself. After a week's respite due to a burned arm and with his crippled-from-polio (today?) friend Chuckie's pluck to stiffen him, Jim braces himself and hangs on. Almost continuous play but not really much fun, and the guidelines are full of holes. (Kirkus Reviews)

Jim Nardi could be the Vulcans' number one linebacker. He's fast and strong, and he has good hands. But he also has one major problem: He's afraid of being tackled. His teammates are disgusted with him, and his older brother, the Vulcans' coach, is disappointed. Then one person steps forward to give Jim the help he needs—but will it be enough?
