Alfalfa: No. What do I need to study for? Ain't I the best halfback that Hayle ever had?
Featured review
An OUR GANG Comedy Short.
With the help of his dad, Alfalfa imagines what it would be like in college, when, as a football hero, he is ineligible to play in the big game because he neglected his TIME OUT FOR LESSONS.
This little movie with a moral, made when the Rascals were a bit older, is thoroughly unfunny. Only the jitterbugging scene - with Darla belting out `Swinging The Jinx Away' - has any pep to it.
