Happy Leap Day! Since I did not find any books specific to this unusual day, I decided to do this one book post as it, for me, was a most unusual read. ;-)

Here's one that fits perfectly with the 'you read what??' post of January 3, 2015. Chance for Glory: the Innovation and Triumph of the Washington State 1916 Rose Bowl Team, by Darin Watkins. I have no idea why I picked this book up, unless it's the connection with WSU, but I'm sure glad I did. It was pretty much a 'one sit' read and I was surprised to realize I was reading blow by blow accounts of football games and not being able to put the book down! There's a connection between Jim Thorpe and Eisenhower, new strategies for moving the ball, and something new that allowed the progress of a game to be shared with those far away. Well written, great bibliography, but an index might have been nice.
