After his story was bought Brent was made a writer at the studio. Also the first screenwriter assignment for Irving Cummings Jr. and William Conselman Jr. Both men were "second generation Hollywood" as Cummings' father was a director and Conselman's a screenwriter. "According to Twentieth Century-Fox press releases the football sequences were shot at the Los Angeles Olympic Stadium and at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Despite a summer heat wave the extras were required to wear heavy winter coats. As such large wind machines behind huge cakes of ice were used to cool off the fields. Thirty-four college football players from local universities were used as extras in this film. They included USC's Ambrose Schindler Bill Howard Red Morgan Tony Tonelli Ollie Day and Owen Hansen and UCLA's Billy Bob Williams Bill Overlin and Bill Radovich. Location filming was done at the Inglewood Railway Station as the station received little use. Because only two freight trains used the station each day movie extras were the only passengers ever to use the station. The press release also reported that the rental cost of a four-car train at the station was $150 per day. HR reported that Fox borrowed Lewis Howard from Universal Pictures for this film."
