The story revolves around the experiences of a young protagonist, likely a student-athlete, who navigates the challenges and adventures associated with school life, football (specifically the position of a half-back), and golf. Barbour's writing often incorporates themes of sportsmanship, camaraderie, determination, and the struggles faced by young individuals in both athletic and academic settings.Barbour was notable for his ability to capture the spirit of school and sports in his stories, creating engaging narratives that appealed to young readers. "The Half-Back" likely intertwines elements of sports, friendship, and the pursuit of success both on and off the field, aiming to resonate with readers interested in sports-themed literature or stories of adolescent life.
