Bajac, I think you are correct.
I haven't seen it for a long time either,
but the opening line of the Plot Summary says this


Please see.
Men Are Like That (1931)

Also I have not seen this one, but wasn't Duke
an old disgraced baseball player in

TV-"Alcoa Premiere"-Flashing Spikes (1962)

Thanks Arthur for giving us the previous info.

I have a really terrible copy of Flashing Spikes but Duke only did a cameo as the umpire of an Army baseball game in Korea. Jimmy Stewart played the older baseball player with Pat Wayne as the rising star.

Hi

In Brown of Harvard he was an uncredited extra doubling for Francis X Bushman in a football picture

In The Drop Kick he was an unbilled spectator

Salute he was a football player billed as Duke Morrison

Maker of Men in his last film for Columbia he again played a football player

In College Coach a football player with one line and in Trouble Along the Way he portrays a football coach.

Other sporting films include

The Life of Jimmy Dolan in which he is a boxer and in Idol of the Crowds he is a pro Hockey player.

Regards

Arthur

Haven't watched it in a while but I'm pretty sure there are scenes at the beginning of Men are Like That (In Old Arizona) where he was a football player prior to being commissioned in the Army
