The Racket
17 November 2022
Robert Young is the star football player at his college, an athlete who looks fated to carry his team to victory. However, he believes it's a racket, with the college making money off the games, so he wants to take his share. In fact, he's franchised himself, with several businesses, all of which seem to result in classmate Andy Devine being sent hither and yon on various errands that prevent him from meeting up with Mary Carlisle.

This sturdy precode offers a cynical view of college football, that would disappear from the movies the next year, but it's got a heart full of mush at the end. College football continues to be big business, with leading football coaches pulling down millions. Perhaps this is why there are a lot of former footballers in the game, from Johnny Mack Brown to Dutch Hendrian. With Leila Hyams, Grant Mitchell, Richard Tucker, and Paul Porcasi.
