An American silent drama; A story about a college freshman who faces failure in his athletic endeavors after meeting a girl. This buddy film is directed well with a fine cast performing well. The relationship between the two dorm pals, established from the beginning, runs as a meaningful thread; the love interest for Brown, played by Mary Brian, is sweet and charming and brings all her scenes alive. William Haines as Brown is captivating and plays an arrogant, conceited youth very well, and with good comic timing. The staging of the football scenes made this a real spectacle.
