Outside the entrance to the football field, Connie meets Professor Kenyon, who is on his way to the game. Professor Kenyon tells her the truth: Tom didn't deserve to pass the test, but to help the football team, he gave Tom the passing grade. Babe explains to Connie that Tom didn't betray her—a long time ago, after a wild party involving homemade gin, Tom wrote a letter proposing to Patricia, and Patricia has kept the letter and is holding him to it.
