character, is captain of the Uni
versity of California football team.
While in pursuit of his athletics
he has neglected his work in the
classes. At the opening OF the
play, when he is about to be dis
ciplined by the faculty for his
shortcomings, he receives a note
from his father saying that that
gentleman is to visit him, and
see how we'll he has been doing
Since Tom has led his father to
believe that he is an exemplary
student, the situation is en-
