One Yard to Go (1931)

Marjorie (Marjorie Beebe) is being wooed by the effete and broke Sir Herbert in this Mack Sennett production for Educational Pictures. Her mother wants Marjorie to marry this upper class twit, though the audience sure doesn't! Marjorie plans on pleasing her mother but soon meets a very handsome young man and is smitten...but he's just a 'lowly ice man' and mother doesn't approve. Ultimately, this all comes to a head during a college football game...and Marjorie discovers this new mystery man is actually an all-American quarterback.
