The Washington State University football team and its coach, William "Lone Star" Dietz, participated in filming while in Southern California for the 1916 Rose Bowl.

[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Tom Brown (Moore), a student at Harvard University, is engaged to Evelyn Ames (Daly).

Wilton Ames (Greene) crowns his borrowing of money from Tom by stealing a blank check and forging it for $300 to get Marion out of the city so that her condition may not get known.

Gerald Thorne (McGrail), brother of Marian and stoke on the Harvard crew, refuses to enter the race after he is given a spurious note from his sister saying that she is leaving the city and wants to see him.

Evelyn demands that Tom marry Marian when Wilton finally confesses that he is the man involved.
