Chip Hilton sports series

A smooth-talking man who claims to have played basketball with Chip's father creates dissension on the Valley Falls high school team and plans to use Big Chip's pottery formula in his latest scam.

When an injury prevents him from joining the college basketball team, Chip keeps busy serving as an emergency replacement coach for the high school and participating in an important basket shooting tournament.

Chip and his teammates come to the aid of their Chinese American friend so that he can pursue an education while also playing basketball at State University.

When a broken leg forces him off the high school basketball squad, Chip Hilton faces the coming season with all odds against him as he attempts to help build a winning team.

State University's basketball team seems headed for a fall when Chip Hilton is benched with a knee injury, while Chip must contend with a hostile journalist who claims the star player is faking his injury, as well as disturbing accusations against his lifelong friend, Soapy Smith.

Chip Hilton, having learned the reason for the animosity shown him by two other members of the baseball team, finds a way to overcome the problem.

After graduating from high school, Chip is invited to join the Parkville Bears as a summer intern and he manages to save the Bears' season--and his own baseball future--from being spoiled by the schemes of an unscrupulous man.
