- The Greyhound Athletic Club: In the days before Little Leagues, Babe Ruth Leagues and City Recreation Directors; 1991
- Description
- Dr. Huston recalls his young peers who before high school created an athletic club that had no adult direction or supervision and no financial support. The teams they created were competitive in many sports, even playing in national championships. The author's final message is “give the game back to the kids.” He concludes by discussing Division III, non-scholarship college sports.
