Here's a black & white Merrie Melodies entry, springing from the imaginations of Hugh Harman & Rudolf Ising.
"Freddy The Freshman" is based on a popular song of the era, and in this 1932 entry, Freddy is embodied as a canine college student in a raccoon coat who becomes a football hero.
I'd imagine this aired in New York back in the day, when WNEW (now WNYW) had a bigger library of WB shorts to complement later stars like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, & Porky Pig.
Harman & Ising would later bolt for MGM, and WB would adopt the familiar house style of their Termite Terrace studio.
Rating: B.
