Football and Pretty Girls

Young boys going off to college to play football and play with young girls . . . and young girls going off to college in search of young boys to play with . . . . ahhhh the joys of youth. College freshman Jimmy (Rex Lease) arrives on campus and sees Mary Norris (Marceline Day) on a park bench and instantly falls for her. But Big Man on Campus football star Dave Randall (Robert Livingston) also likes Marceline Day, and a rivalry is about to begin. Both boys chase after her, and both boys are stars on the college football team. Jimmy (Rex Lease) is our leading man and has the upper hand with Mary at first, and his roommate Benny Krantz (legendary comedian Benny Rubin) along with Marjorie Kane provide the laughs and some hip Roaring Twenties song and dance. All looks good for Jimmy and Mary until one night at a college dance Jimmy goes off with a fresh blonde and gets drunk with her in her room. Along with that and poor grades, Jimmy is not permitted to play in the big football game coming up, and Mary decides that he is not the man for her. Things get even worse when Jimmy accidentally punches Dave and breaks his arm, so that neither football star will play in the big game. Jimmy is so upset and ashamed that he leaves college in disgrace, leaving Marceline Day, our leading lady, in the arms of Dave. Next fall Jim goes back to college determined to give up drink and to get better grades. Mary was deeply in love with Jim last year, but this year she is an iceberg to him. Jim gives up hope of winning Mary's heart, but he has learned his lesson and is no longer drinking booze like a fish and acting like he is every girl's dream. If only there were a way for Mary to see his change and come back to him . . . . if only he could get back on the football team in time for the big game this year and maybe make the winning play . . . . Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with warm melted butter on it and cheer for the home team.
