About Good News!...

Tait College is having a parade. There is acrobatic dancing while the students sing the school song. They are all determined that Tait will win the forthcoming football match against rivals from Colton College — football being more important to the college than academia. The annual award from the Bingham foundation will depend on the outcome of this game.

Tom Marlowe, captain of the football team, can only play in the season's big game because Constance Lane has coached him in astronomy well enough for him to pass his exams. The all important game is won by Tait. And Tom, now a hero, can pursue the more important business of winning Constance, whom he has loved for a long time.
