Despite 2 broken wrists that he incurred in a mix-up under the basket in scrimmage two weeks ago, Mike Keene, center and captain of the '45 basketball team, has showed up for practice with his wrist solidly ensconced in a plaster cast...
...picture is, in fact, Hollywood's most strenuous effort, to date, to mix a box-office Mickey Finn out of these disparate ingredients: topical tragedy, pulmotored patriotism, slick-paper romance, and anything-for-a-laugh comedy. There are moments when Director McCarey has the sleight of hand it takes. Albert Bassermann makes a small prize package of a fierce, old Polish general.

His front knees, broken in a film scene long ago, had grown so painfully stiff that someone had to be kept in his stall to help him to his feet. Since Tom Mix's death two years ago, there had been a vacant look in Tony's eye. He was scarcely aware of the veterinarian and taxidermist when they came in. A few seconds later he was no longer aware of anything. The veterinarian had injected five ounces of chloral hydrate...
