Through Forest and Stream Adventure In The Mountains by Duane Yarnell 1949

When Ted and Pudge went to the All-American camp, it was for a summer of good fun. Then they discovered that they were really entered in a contest - a contest involving $50,000 for the college of the boy who won it. Ted just had to win that prize, both to keep baseball at College Tech and to ensure his father's job as baseball coach. How he engaged in a deadly fight with wolves and was entombed in an old mine shaft with a ferocious bear are only two of the many adventures he had.Ted Moran wins out in a breathless story of heroism and resourcefulness that will thrill its readers.
