While this policy may temporarily enrich the garages they will presently discover that they are killing the goose that laid the golden egg, for the students are not likely to submit to a combination of robbery and coercion without doing a great deal of bellicose kicking. There is, in fact, but one way to remedy the situation, and that is for all men concerned to indulge in renewed and violent protests. These could easily be strengthened by a boycott of the Square garages; men might transfer their patronage to Central Square or elsewhere. Certainly it is by this time evident...
...perfectly true that the present system of high-pressure football thrown on the altar of the golden calf, is not an ideal one, either from the general standpoint of sportsmanship, or from the point of view of the players. Nevertheless, it is equally true that the system has advantages, that it permits a greater expansion of lesser sports, and that in any case, it will not be altered until the Athletic Association places all sport on a sound financial basis.

...whose consecration in life is to the high art of being legal. But it is not their consecration to be philosophers, and perhaps that is why, with the exception of Holmes, Brandeis, and Cardozo, the Court is fifty years behindhand in its political philosophy.

One of them, Walt Martin (Richard Arlen) stays at home, marries a neighbor's daughter, begets twins and tours his fields happily in a tractor. Walt's older brother Chris (Chester Morris) goes to Chicago, makes a fortune speculating in wheat, marries the egotistical daughter (Genevieve Tobin) of the richest speculator in the Pit. When wheat prices go down and foreclosed mortgages-without which even a problem play...
Instead of building up its case against speculation, Golden Harvest at this point launches a fantastic compromise. Walt Martin organizes a farmers' strike. Chris cooperates by using his knowledge of the strike to boom wheat prices on the exchange. The farm strike collapses in time to bankrupt him. In its effort to give an appearance of having proved something, Walt Martin is shown telling a group of financiers that the next farm strike will be more serious, and Mrs. Chris Martin seems to have grown more fond of her husband. A few good bits of wheat-farming local color...
