Football Romeo

Darla is walking around the block hanging onto Butch's arm. She is trying to make Alfalfa jealous so that he gets extra motivated to play the big football game against Butch's team. It has the opposite effect. Alfalfa turns melancholy and writes a poem to Darla. He quits football. Darla threatens to read his poem out loud to the crowd if he doesn't play.

It is a fun concept to have Darla making Alfalfa jealous. It makes less sense that he is a football star player. They could make it something different like a foot race. I can believe that Alfalfa runs fast especially if he is running scared.
