Hawkeye Recruits a Football Ringer, Explained：ringer
Football turns out to be a con: the officers need a ringer, so they get the army to transfer a gifted athlete by asking for a "neurosurgeon." Then it is practice, warm-ups, and a coach announcing, "we're not here to sell lemonade. We're here to practice." The gambling plan is never far from the field.
あらすじ
General Hammond visits, and the officers steer him into agreeing to a football game. To win their bet they arrange for a star athlete to be transferred in under the cover of a request for a neurosurgeon, then start training the squad, complete with warm-ups, plays and a coach's speeches.

What's really going on
The football game is just a bet with a uniform on, and the scene is cheerfully open about it. The ringer they want is a real doctor and a real athlete, and they smuggle him in through an official request for a 'neurosurgeon,' which is the film's idea of paperwork. On the field, the language of teamwork gets a comic echo: 'we're all the same here on the playing field,' the coach says, and the line lands because the unit has just spent its energy scheming about odds and half-time substitutions. The jokes about race are handled as part of the same blunt humour, with the officers waving away the social objection about their only Black officer. What the scene really shows is a group of men turning boredom into a project, gambling and football doing the same work that whiskey does elsewhere.
Theme
AmbitionThe officers scheme to stack the odds, transferring a ringer so they can win their bet.
FriendshipThe football project is a shared excuse to play, bond and forget the war for a while.

Sir, ever since the dark days before Pearl Harbor, I've been proud to wear this uniform.A patriotic speech delivered as part of a scheme, which is why the sincerity sounds funny.
Hawkeye, that man has five times the manpower to draw on than we do.The problem stated plainly: their opponent has far more men to choose players from.
Sure, so we get ourselves a ringer, right?The solution in one word: bring in an outsider who is better than anyone they can field.
He is better known as "Spearchucker" Jones.The formal name collapses into a nickname, revealing that the 'neurosurgeon' is really a star athlete.
All right, men, we're not here to sell lemonade. We're here to practice.The coach sets the tone: this is serious work, not a sideshow, even though the whole plan is a con.
Good. Well, I just want you to know that we're all the same here on the playing field.A line about equality on the field that is sincere and, given the scheming around it, also comic.
このシーンについての質問
Why do the officers want a "ringer"?
Because the other unit has far more men to draw on, so simply playing fairly would mean losing the bet. A ringer is an outside star brought in to tilt the game, and they get one transferred in by disguising the request as a medical need.
How do they get Spearchucker transferred?
Colonel Blake is made to file a specific request for a neurosurgeon, naming Oliver Harmon Jones. The army sends the man they asked for, never realising he is also a top athlete. The paperwork is the punchline.
What is the gambling scheme on the field?
They plan to hold their best player out for the first half, bet half their money, let the other team score, then send him in, take better odds, bet the rest and clean up. It is a con dressed as a substitution.
Why is the line about the playing field funny?
Because the coach says everyone is equal on the field while the officers are quietly scheming to cheat with a ringer and a staged first half. The sincere sportsman's speech sits right next to the con.
