DENNY prepped at Chenille High,
- Cleveland, and from there went to
Michigan, where he won All-Amer-
lea honrs in two consecutive years.
In all his career he played but ore poor
game, and that was in his senior year
against the Navy. The husky midship-
men got through on him that day
a plenty and the famous Friedman
passes looked pretty wabbly and he
himself far from an All-America pros
pect. Which shows what will happen
to stellar performer when his team
gets an idea he IS so good he needs no
assistance.
Leaving Michigan, Friedman organ
lied a pro foot ball team in Cleveland
and played on it. but in 1928 the Detroit
Bulldogs summoned him, and the COM
parative handful of fans who patronize
the professional game will recall his
exploits against the New York Giants
in 19-to-l9 game nearly three years
ago. The Giants grabbed him as a
matter of course.
After the foot ball season of 1890 he
went into Wall Street as customers
man for Sutro & Co. Later he changed
to another firm and has done well, they
say. September Is he goes to Yale to
coach in return for one thousand
count it-dollars.

HAS POSSIBILITIES
IN EYES OF ALUMNI
Benny Tutors Quarterbacks
This Season-Brother a
Replica of Him.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

N 7 EW YORK, August 31.-ln
M a little more than a fort
4 night now Benny Fried
man will abandon Wall
Street for the Yale Bowl and
spend the Fall trying to develop
an outstanding Eli quarterback.
Some say that Friedman's great
ambition is to succeed in the
marts of trade and teach foot ball
as an avocation. Others say his
objective is the position of head
coach at Yale.
Friedman has never avowed such am
bition, and the Yale foot ball authorities
have no idea. evidently, that the former
Michigan luminary will ever be selected
as leader OF gridircn destiny at New
Haven.
On the other hand, there is more
than one foot ball alumnus of Yale who
has the feeling that, when ard if a
successor to DR.. Stevens is being con-
s!dered, Friedmans qualifications should
not be overlooked.
IF We cannot win with coaches who
have played foot ball at Yale" said a
Yale man, who won honors as an ALL
America, to the writer, then let's go
outside. We chose president CT the
university, Dr. Angel, from Michigan
which, l should say, is sufficient prece-
dent for choosing a coach from the
same place If it seems wise to do So"
nF course, so far as winning goes,
~ were DR.. Stevens and his assistants
TO turn in victories over Harvard
and Princeton next Fall it would be
easier to remove Hardness Hall from
the campus than to let Stevens out as
head coach. No one even remotely
affiliated with Yale would wish to try
in such event. And if, win or lose the
head coach decides to retire frcm foot
ball and concentrate upon medical prac-
tlce. there is Reggie Root, whom quail
ned observers respect as a man rapidly
developing In the art of foot bali in
struction.
The workings of Yale's extremely
catholic foot ball coaching staff will be
interesting to watch. There is Nal
Stevens, who carried more real knowl-
edge concerning foot ball in his head
than any man associated with the game,
but has not yet applied it to the COM
plete satisfaction of foot ball enthusi-
asts CT his university. There is Adam
Walsh of Notre Dame, reserved, very
technical and a splendid teacher Of
Notre Dame stuff. And there is, among
others, Benny Friedman of the Yost
and Tim Mara school Of foot ball

vision of the antitrust laws as
one method of restoration of

"Revise the 4O-year old anti.
