Correct title. It was one of a series of sports movies that Joe E. Brown (the guy with the big mouth) did. The best known is "Alibi Ike." It's part of the TCM library and shows once in a while. There is also a movie called "International House" whose McGuffin is an inventor trying to see the six day at Madison Square Garden on his television in 1933. This one stars W.C. Fields and Burns and Allen as well as Cab Callaway performing "Here Comes That Reefer Man." Phil Brown
