Oh, that's a wonderful idea Yeah, we expect to make a lot of money for the community chest. Is little Leroy gonna play? Leroy with those feet? Poor Anki for years. He's hoped Leroy would be a football player. Yes, but that's hoping too much Leroy will never be an athlete. He can't run 10 yards without tripping over his own shoe strings Now Anki Leroy tries. By the way, where is the boy? He's across the street with Mr. Bullard's pretty little knee. Hey Brenda Uh-huh. You can see him here from the window sitting on Mr. Bullard's steps. Aren't they cute?

All he does is giggle Well, I'll go get a laughing boy and bring him home to dinner Marvelous. If anybody told me I'd be sitting by anybody as important as you are. I wasn't eavesdropping. I Just came over to tell Leroy it's time for dinner. Mr. Gil Deslee, isn't Leroy dreaming? But isn't the hero part going a little too far? Watch, Mr. Gil Deslee. I've been in a swoon since he told me he's playing in the game tomorrow. Well, fine. I'll come along Leroy. You're playing in the game tomorrow? You didn't tell me my boy. Gosh, the coach just told me this afternoon. I'm playing in quarterback. Quarterback? Yeah, brains. Well, just the boy to run the team. You're a natural born quarterback. Yeah. Leroy. Yeah? You weren't the only one out for quarterback, were you? Yes, no. I beat our Clyde Cooper. I had the brains. And the brawn. Well, let's be sure about the brawn. Bertie, throw on another steak. We've got a football player in the family. You like some more potatoes and gravy, Leroy? Sure. Here's the raisin bread again, my boy. Eat a lot of it. Raisins have iron. That's what a football player needs. There's one more piece of steak. Who wants it? You make room on your plate, Leroy. Bertie, get him another glass of milk, please. Gosh, stop fussing over me. I can't see over my plate now. But you surprised us so. Didn't you, Anki? Well, I knew Leroy had it in him all the time. Yes, sir. We just didn't know where it was hid. Oh, what a day it's going to be. I can see the stands now, crowded, and a dollar ahead for the community chest. And little Leroy runs out in the field. Yeah. And Brenda waving to him from the sideline. Now, listen, Leroy, if you win the toss, be sure to receive the kickoff. Possession of the ball is very important. The other team will never get their hands on it. I'll rattle dazzle them to death. Yeah, that a boy. I can't wait to tell PB and the Jolly Boys. By the way, Leroy, what formation are you using? The T or the single wing back? I'm just using Leroy back. All right. Then everybody else goes out for a pass. Wait, I'll show you with a hard roll. And not at the table, Leroy. Anki, you and Bertie run out for a pass. Leroy, don't you throw that hard roll at me. Oh, you're just a decoy. Get ready, Anki. All right, my boy. I'm right in the gravy. Box all over me. Leroy, now look what you've done. Leroy, how many times has Uncle Moore told you not to play at the table? Well, I guess I better go to my room, huh? Of course not, my boy. It was all my fault. It was? I should have scooped it up before it hit the gravy. You're a fine passer and a wonderful boy. Holy cow. When you're an athlete, you can get by with this. Can I do for you this morning? PB, you can give me a dollar. Okay. If it's a community chess football game tomorrow. Oh, you don't say anything. After you give me the dollar, I'll give you a red feather. Just like the one I have in my hat. Oh, that explains your feather. I thought you'd been where the wild goose went. Hey, what's this, Bibi? You know the song, my heart goes where the wild goose goes. Bibi, ask Bibi. Where the wild goose goes. All right, Bibi. Wild goose running loose with his best. You're wondering fool or a heart at will. All right, Bibi, stop. I will. I'm out of breath. Bibi, you're too chipper this morning. What happened? Nothing happened. Mrs. Bibi left this morning to spend a week with her mother, but nothing happened. Sure, sure. Well, I'm happy today, too, Bibi. Now, I'll tell you why you shouldn't miss the game. Well, here's another customer. That's no customer. That's Judge Hooker. Good morning, gentlemen. Hello, Judge. You're just the man I want to see. Oh, why the feather in your hat, Gilda? As the water commissioner been dressing poultry. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, you know very well why it's there. Yes, I do. Congratulations on being chairman of the drive, Gilda. Thanks. Now, all I want from you is a dollar. You're heading a very worthy cause. As the slogan goes, everybody benefits, everybody gives. Oh, that's true. But Judge, just give me... Red feather services provide the health, welfare, and recreational facilities the community needs to make it a better place in which to live. Oh, doing a lot of talking to get out of paying the dollar. What's that, P.B.? Judge, I'm selling tickets to the community chess football game tomorrow. One dollar. Well, I've made my pledge, but I'll take a ticket. Thank you, P.B. I made my pledge also, but I'll take two tickets. I can take Miss Matterhorn in my new car. Great. This is a game I don't want anybody to miss. Because here's the big news, fellas. Big news? Yeah, the most important thing that ever happened. Little Leroy is going to play in that game. He is? We'll have good for him. Just imagine. Leroy on the gridiron. Yeah? He's playing quarterback. Well, we'll all have to go out and cheer for Leroy. Say, I have an idea. Instead of just cheering, let's take our Jolly Boys band out to support Leroy's team. You call that support? It's a good idea, Horace. As chairman of the drive and president of the Jolly Boys, with the boys starring on the team, I call a special meeting for this evening for band friends. I'll be there. Anything for Leroy? Quite a boy. Baby, I thought you had trouble getting out on weeknight. No, no, I wouldn't say that. I'm as free as the wild goose. My heart goes... All right. All right, baby. See you tonight. Where's Leroy? I think he's upstairs. Oh, give this to Bertie. That big package for Bertie? No, Bertie is for Leroy. Oh, a football, Anki? Nope. More steak. Yes. I think I'll go up and have a little skull practice with a quarterback, Marjorie. You just can't wait for tomorrow, can you, Anki? I can't wait for the next two years, either. Someday Marjorie will be going to college football games to watch Leroy's Snake Hips Forester. You're awfully proud of Leroy, aren't you? You bet. I'm proud of you, too, my dear. But, of course, you're not a football player. See you later, Marjorie. Don't hear anything up here. I guess the little fella's figuring out play. Leroy? May I come in, my boy? I'm a scout for the Green Bay Packers. Ah, what are you doing? Growing up bad medicine for the opposition? No, just sitting. You're resting, huh? Good. By the way, I bought home some more steak for you, didn't I? You and Bronco can eat it, Anki. All right. I'm not hungry. Ah, I guess you're excited about the game. Better eat, though. You've got to be strong to make those touchdowns. I'm not going to make any touchdowns. You're not? Leroy? I'm not going to play. Teasing your old uncle, aren't you, Leroy? No, I'm not going to play. Clyde Cooper's going to be quartered back. Clyde? Leroy, yesterday you had the job. Well... What happened? Well, gosh, I got a little cold, I think. Leroy, you don't have a cold. You've never been healthier. What? I sprained my ankle. Your ankle? Which one? Both of them. Oh. Leroy, you're making up excuses. You have to play tomorrow. I bragged to all the Jolly Boys. I mean, I told all the Jolly Boys you were going to star. And I'm chairman of the community chest in charge of the game. What are people going to say? Sorry, honk. But I told you why I can't play. Those weren't very good excuses. They weren't, huh? No. Now tell me why you aren't going to play. Well, look at the other team, honk. Gosh, they're pretty big guys. So that's it. Leroy. Yeah? Those boys are the same age as you. And what about Clyde? He isn't as big as you, is he? No, but... All right, my boy. Get ready for dinner. I'm not hungry. I'm not hungry either.

He was the happiest man in summer period. But then when Leroy suddenly changed his mind and decided not to play, the great man's spirits crumbled. Now it's evening, the water commissioner is heading for the meeting at the Jolly Boys Club. To salute Leroy to my when he runs on the field. How will I explain it to him? I can't tell him Leroy backed out. Well, I can just tell him he decided not to be an athlete. He's going to be a scholar. Believe that. Come on in. Hello, Floyd. Hi, fellows. Come on, Gildy. We're all warmed up. Here's your trombone. Just a minute, fellows. Before we waste our time... Hey, since the chief ain't here, why don't I just concentrate on the drums tonight? But Floyd, what about the piano? Since I ain't dragging no piano out to the field tomorrow. Fellows, perhaps we shouldn't take any of the instruments. Well, I'm taking my flute. What's the matter, Commis? Don't you think you're professional enough? I carry a union card. Barber's Union. Gildy, why shouldn't we take our instruments? Well, you don't have to do this for Leroy. We want to do it, Commis. Well, we're happy to do it. We're proud of the kid. And you must be too, Commis. Yes. Gentlemen, shall we show our old friend what we've got for little Leroy? Of course, Judge. Well, we were going to save it and present it official after the game, you know. But what the heck? Hold it out, Peeve. Yeah. Look at this, Mr. Gildy's thing. Oh, a loving cup. With a football player. Goldfield, that's what makes it yellow. I know, Peeve. Fellows, you shouldn't have done it. Believe me. Read the engraving, Gildy. Well, let me see. Ah, the commission's choking up. Let me read it. To Leroy Forester for quarterback in the community chess football game. Nice, Floyd. We had said something about you being chess chairman, but the engraving was getting pretty expensive. Well, gentlemen, let's practice our number for Leroy. What can I say to them? Come on, Commis, we picked on Wisconsin because that's the dairy state and Leroy's the big cheese. I'm ready with my flute. My violin's rising up. You want to test the trombone, Commis? I can't even get a lip. You never played better. Here we go, gang. Just pretend Leroy's taking the field. One, two. Sounded like Leroy ran through all the instruments. I suggest that the drum and trombone take the opening passage, then Peeve and I will come in with violin and flute. Fellows, let's call the whole thing off. We'll get better. Pick up where we left off. Where'd we leave off? One, two. Well, now that wouldn't say that. What, you mean the Jolly Boys bought Leroy a trophy? Yeah, an engraved loving cup. Gold-filled. After that, how could I tell them Leroy had backed out? Oh, poor Anki. No wonder you couldn't sleep last night. Well, I'm through talking to the boy. He wants to let that skinny little Clyde Cooper take his place at quarterback. That's up to him. Bronco and I tried to talk to him, but he just shrugged and walked away. Oh? Where'd he go? I know where he went. What's this, Bernie? That poor little boy went up in his tree house. He did? That poor little boy. Oh, for what's he doing up in his tree house? He's just sitting. He won't talk to nobody. That poor little boy. Now, Bernie, don't feel sorry for Leroy. I'm not. He brought this on himself. I don't care whether he plays or not. He ain't even paying no attention to little Brenda. Brenda, where's she? She just stand across the street flooding in my eyes, but he's just sitting up in his tree house. That poor little boy. Well, I guess Brenda'll be as disappointed in Leroy as the rest of us. Say, there's an idea. If there's anybody who can make a man play ball, it's a woman. Why didn't I think of this before? Up in his tree house, Brenda. You have to get him to play in that game this afternoon. Oh, I'll just die if he doesn't play. After all, what's there to live for? I guess you better call him. The Commiss now. Well, hello, Mr. Gilligan. Hello, fellas. You're late. Not as late as I'd like to be. Congratulations, Mr. Chairman. Huge crowd. You should be very happy. Yeah, very happy. Hey, Commiss, I checked the starting line up and Leroy's name ain't there. It isn't. Well, Floyd. Well, if Leroy doesn't appear, I refuse to play. Me too. It's hard to hear violin in the stadium anyway. Hey, he thinks he's starting games with him. Gilligan, what happened? Well, excuse me, fellas. I think somebody's waving from my attention down below. I'm Chairman, you know. I don't see anybody waving. See you later, fellas. Well, get Leroy in the game. We blew two bucks a piece on that cup. Sorry, Floyd. I had to get away from the Jolly Boys. Somehow I can't believe little Leroy's afraid to play. Never been afraid of anything before. He's always wanted to play football. I think I'll sit down here and hide. Pardon me. Is this seat taken? Well, no, no, sit down. You're just in time for the kickoff. Yeah, I know. You... Say, aren't you Mr. Giller-Sleeve, Chairman of the Community Chest Drive? Yeah, that's me. Oh, great outfit, the Community Chest. Yeah? You want somebody to tell people what the chest does. Ask me, I'll tell them. Well, good. See that boy running out on the field, number 22? That's my son. Oh? Two years ago, he couldn't walk. Look at him now. Community Chest did that. He looks fine. Playing in this game is the biggest moment in my boy's life. This is his chance to show everybody that he's well again, that he's come back. Yeah, that's wonderful. I wish I had a boy like that. Brave little fella. He almost didn't get to play today. Well, that would have been terrible. The coach told me about it. Another boy was ahead of him, and it looked like Clyde wasn't going to get in the game. Clyde? Then the other boy found out how important it was to Clyde to play today, so he stepped out to give Clyde the chance. The boy's name was Leroy Forrester. Oh, he did a great thing. Leroy? You know him? Yeah, I know him. Little Leroy. Hey, there's the kickoff. Clyde's taking the ball, Gilda-Sleeve. He is? Come on, Clyde! The great Gilda-Sleeve will be right back.

The fine game, my boy. We took in $2,300 for the community test. It was a big success. Yeah. And I want to say too, I'm proud of you, mighty proud of you, my boy. Me? I wasn't even in the game. Clyde. Here's Leroy. Oh, Gilda. We've been talking to Clyde Cooper's father. Yeah, if you ask me, Leroy deserves more than our loving cup. You ought to have a medal. I agree, Floyd. The hero of a football game should always be carried from the stadium on somebody's shoulders. I'm going to carry Leroy on mine. The heck you are. I'm carrying Leroy on my shoulders. No, just a minute, fellas. Just a minute. This is up to Leroy. Whose shoulders do you want to ride on, my boy? Yours, Aunt. Bless that boy. One side, fellas. We're coming through.
