College football- sparked by a chain of campus rivalries set off by the pride of an over-brilliant quarterback, Bill Devlin. Bill, endowed with a faculty for producing eidetic images, and his more normally intelligent, steadier roommate Cliff Gear, make the varsity of Ferris College as sophomores. But it is before the discovery of the reason behind Bill's cockiness that he nearly loses his campus popularity, that Cliff becomes incensed at being forever championed by his superior roommate. Laying facts bare puts grid roles into proper perspective, erases charges of favoritism, makes a humble, more reasonable Bill. And some sharp playing makes good game passages.
