The passage the question is referring to is the following:

<em> "Right." Sr. Summers said. He made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, "Watson boy drawing this year?" </em>

<em>A tall boy in the crowd raised his hand. "Here," he said. "I'm drawing for my mother and me." He blinked his eyes nervously and ducked his head as several voices in the crowd said things like "Good fellow, Jack." and "Glad to see your mother's got a man to do it."</em>

We have previously learned that if a household does not have a "father" to draw for the family, the responsibility passes to the oldest son.

nalin [4]
In the Odyssey, the traits that Odysseus has that allow him to triumph in the bow and arrow challenge that Penelope sets for her suitors are his archery skills and intelligence.
Odysseus has always been known as an excellent archer, which is exactly why Penelope had this type of competition in the first place. It was quite easy for him to be better than the remaining competitors due to his skills and his brains.
