Numskull's Review:

I can't say enough positive things about this short. First off, you've got the very young and very hot Lucille Ball in all of her majestic greatness featured as one of the mobsters girls. I just love her whole attitude in this short. The scene where she is asking what Larry is taking up at college and he responds "Piglatin!" He goes on to try and impress her with his keen piglatin skills by spouting out "Atway areya oingda onighta?...you wouldn't know a thing about that would you?"

"Oh, Onay!" replies Daisy (Lucille)

Pure greatness!

I also love the Stooges uniforms in this short with the crazy numbers. The Stooges were very funny and the short flowed very well. I like the way that the story was written all the way down to the ending of the boys getting chased out of the stadium by their angry team mates.

Although this short was also directed by Raymond McCarey, I felt it was night and day from the lameness of "Men in Black."

Stooge's Review:

I think I like just about all of the Stooges "sports shorts". This particular one is good. The opening scene with the Stooges begging people in the street for money is funny, especially when Curly and Moe each got punched in the face. A similar opening scene with the Stooges as beggars was used shortly afterwards in POP GOES THE EASEL. The "blind man's buff" scene was funny, as well as the following scene with the boys using the dumbwaiter. Moe and Larry's high-pitched shrieks as they fall down the dumbwaiter shaft never fails to slay me. Finally, the football finale was funny. Put three idiots who have no idea what they're doing on a football field, and it's bound to be hilarious. I especially like the part where Larry and Curly tackle the referee after Moe tells them to "tackle the man with the football". Lucille Ball was okay in this, as an early role for her. She doesn't really have much to do, but I thought she did well with what she was given.
