...made a mistake. Since the invitation cannot be rescinded, Yale's press agent (Eddie Nugent) pounds out enthusiastic copy. Texas Coach Slug Winters (Jack Haley) is enthusiastic, too, until his tough wife Bessie (Patsy Kelly) fractures his star passer's leg. In time's nick Slug fills the gap with a barefoot Texas melon-grower named Amos (Stuart Erwin) who can toss a cantaloupe incredible distances, learns to do even better with a football.
