COLLEGE (1927) ** After giving his high school valedictorian speech on "The Curse of Athletics" Buster Keaton decides to become a college jock when what I guess was a hot babe in those days tells him to. This leads to all kinds of incompetence-driven silliness, the best of which is when he has to set the high jump bar so low that he can barely crawl under it. Meanwhile he supports himself by, among other things, posing as a "coloured waiter." The carousel organ score is fun and the climactic scene ties it all up in a nice package.
