“Peace hath her victories no less renown’d than war,” and the victories of Peace call for heroism as great as that ever shown on the battlefield. Our picture tells the story of “Strongheart,” (an all ‘round good fellow) son of an Indian chief, student in an Eastern college, who becomes the idol of the football team. During a training run in the country he saves the life of the “Belle” of the college, whose horse has run away. She plainly shows her gratitude and admiration, which causes an intense rivalry between her lover and “Strongheart.” During the great game of the year, with a rival college, “Strongheart” is forced from the field by a treacherous blow from his rival. Carried to the training quarters, he is nursed by the heroine, who describes the progress of the game, as seen from the window. At the critical moment, when the home team is about to lose, “Strongheart” rushes on the field, secures the ball, and scores the run that saves the game. Carried again to the training quarters, the doctor finds a knife-thrust under his arm. Strongheart” refuses to disclose the dastard, but with Indian stoicism, bides his time, and. at the supreme moment, when he faces his rival for the woman he loves, he gains a triple victory. |
