Summary: "On Your Mark! A Story of College Life and Athletics" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the life of Allan Ware, a freshman at Erskine College, as he navigates the challenges of college life and athletics. The narrative begins with Allan's unexpected victory in a mile race, setting the stage for his budding friendships and experiences in the collegiate sports scene. At the start of the book, the atmosphere is vibrant with an air of excitement during the Fall Handicap Meeting, where Allan competes in a mile race against established contenders.
