He tells Kuch that his secret goal is to wrestle a rival named Shute, who is twenty-pounds lighter.

As he recovers, he tells his English teacher, Mr. Tanneran (Harold Sylvester), that he is in love with Carla. Worried about Louden's health, Carla visits him during wrestling practice and causes a stir among st his teammates, but he is discouraged when she compares him to a stepbrother.
