Campus Confessions (1938)

This is a sports movie of a different twist from the ones we see today. Strictly lightweight, and not at all realistic, but enjoyable as a period piece. It starred Betty Grable.

From a sports standpoint the main interest is the role played by the great Hank Luisetti, who was a three-time All-American at Stanford and two-time Player of the Year. He is credited with the popularization of the running shot, as opposed to the standing set-shots and hook shots that had been used previously.
