Synopsis:
The Smallville High football coach and principal decide to try and recruit Superboy for the team. Superboy schedules an exhibition at the stadium to show why he can not compete in athletic activities with other boys. He demonstrates his amazing abilities for the fans and shows that he would have an unfair advantage. In the spirit of fair play, Superboy does not compete in sports.

During the show some crooks rob the box office. Superboy defeats them using the sporting equipment he is displaying. The fans cheer Superboy as they understand why he can’t help the team.
