Benny Friedman
a legend that grows

sixteen years ago a man whose
name has become synonymous
with the sport in which he so bril-
liantly performed, retired from the
ring as the indicated lightweight
champion of the world. That man
was Benny Leonard and his acti-
yities from the night he defeated
Freddy Welsh for the 1S5-pOund
title until the last battle with Lou
Tender are glorious chapters in
the annals of Fistiana. The inter
vening years have added lustre to
the name of Leonard and in the
sixteen years that have elapsed
since Benny hung his gloves on
the shelf legends of Leonard have
been rampant in this land of ours.
And even though twenty other
Jewish champs have held world
titles since Benny quit the ring
cOlOrfuI names like Barney Ross,
SIapsie Make ROsenbloom, B o b
DIN, and Corporal Izzy Schwartz
the name of Leonard still stands
supreme.
Sixteen years ago = the very
same year in which Leonard bade
farewell to the resined arena-an-
other youngster slim, dark
haired, bright-eyed, made his first
bid for a berth on his Varsity
team. A mere coincidence; per-
haps, but the fact remains that
today the names of both of these
Jewish sportsmen are remembered

so many OF us have the idea
that we should have everything
and all our neighbors should have
nothing that we have forgotten
that we cannot get along without
each other. We are all dependent
on each other and during the
course of each day we should in
a humble way try to do someone
some good. Most all of us think
of how much we are going to make
and what do get out of it and
what's in it for me that something
must be done to make us all re-
alize that we can have peace by
helping each other to be better
human beings, and we can never
have peace until we pay for it and

Dear Editor:

cry conscientious Jew of America.

to clarity it's problems.

was smacked often and emphatic
ally. Wickhorst and Eddy were
most conscientious in carrying out
their orders. Friedman was hit so
hard that he began to bounce. But
Friedman never stopped throwing
passes-a total of 81 in all-even
though he was leaving himself
wide open for clear, unprotected
tackles.
A year later Friedman was din
ing in Detroit when a naval officer
in uniform stepped up Smartly
and saluted.
"Mr. Friedman ?" he inquired.
Benny nodded in acknowledge
ment.
IT thought you'd like to know
this. I was Tom Eddy's roommate
at Annapolis. For almost a year
he spoke of you and that Michigan
game necessarily. He said that you
had more quits than any player he
ever faced"
That was the general impression
then and that still remains the
general impression today.
Today, Friedman is biding his
time as coach of C.C.N.Y. His
salary as a head coach is only
$4,000. third of what he was
reputed to make as part owner
and star performer for the Brook
lyn Dodgers Professional Football
Team some years ago. But jerk
water football school or not, Fried
man is having fun. He's doing the
thing he likes to do best and al
though at times the results must
be disheartening, it is well to re-
member the general impression
made by Benny some fourteen or
fifteen years ago. The guys got
CUTS. Chances are that he'll be
coach of a more enterprising grid
iron institution in years to come,
but whatever the future, one thing
is certain-the legend of Friedman
is here to stay.
Friedman's say-sO in the matter
of football is still a thing to be
reckOned with. He gives lectures
on football and he writes on both
the aspect collegiate as well as the
professional outlook. His article
in the Sept. % Golfers was a
humdinger and brought plaudits
from all who read it.
There is no question in our
minds that Sid Luckman, Marshall
Goldberg, Barney Mintz, Dave
Smukler and the hundreds of 9TH
er stand-out Jewish grid warriors
owe much to the splendid pioneer
work of that dark-haired young
ster of some sixteen years ago.
And though Benny Leonard is one
for the books-Benny Friedman
whole book in himself-is still
writing his and is long way from
being finished.

and parcel of the tradition hallow-
ing their sport. That newcomer
was Benny Friedman. Though
cold-shouldered on his first at
tempt to make the football team,
the kid was the unanimous choice
for All-America quarterback a
year later. From the moment he
ran So yards for a touchdown on
the first play of Michigan's first
game Of the schedule in 1925 the
name of Friedman was to become
synonymous with the game of
football.
Thus, what the name of Benny
Leonard means to boxing and HOl-
man to basketball, Benny Fried
man means to Jewish kids who
love football. Friedman is their
idol as he was the idol of their old
er brothers or of their parents a
decade ago. Thus it is that we
once again begin our saga of a
gridirOn season with a story of
Benny Friedman-WhO has become
another symbol of his race.
Interesting yarns have been told
time and again of how Michigan
football tradition and the Yost
gridiron tactics called for the
three-point system of pass, punt
and pray. That is, until Benny
Friedman came to Ann Arbor to
reveal a sense of timing and pre-
cision in his passing and a gen
erals ability in calling signals. The
kid could pass unerringly. He could
drop-kick flawlessly and he was
never out-maneuvered by any OPP
posing quarterback in all his years
on the Michigan machine.
Many anecdotes have come
down from Ann ArbOr concerning
breath-taking plays, last ditch
stands, and final-secOnd victories
in the legends of feats of Michi-
gan pigslzin warriors. But in none
does the name of Benny Friedman
fail to appear. Today Michigan has
a stand-Out in another yOungster
named Harmon. But such die-hard
alumni as Franklin Pierce Adams
has dubbed Harmon a shadow of
the great Friedman and the New
York Posts Coming Tower has
rung with the praise of Benny in
prose and verse for 10, these many
years.
One particular tale that has seen
the light of print in this column
before concerns the esteem Ben
ny commanded in football as a
player. It goes back to Michigan's
engagement with Navy in 1926,
the only game lost that ear.
Friedman's passes had riddled Ma
wy for a humiliating $40 trounc-
ing in 1925 and the midshipmen
determined to crack down on the
Michigan ace by sending linemen
through to rush Friedman before
he could spot an eligible receiver
down the field. AS an afterthought
the Navy men were instructed to
soften up Friedman by hitting him
squarely and solidly amidships
whenever the opportunity pre-
sented itself. Tackles Frank Wick
horst and Tom Eddy, the best pair
in the country, drew the special
assignment of seeing that Benny

Since her rise to fame In fameland,
Miss SCOTS unmarried bliss has
become a great worry to fan maga-

Their concern, so much greater
than that of Miss Scott, has been
such that she has had to think out
her definition of the ideal man, a
thing which no celebrity is ever
allowed to do privately.
In keeping with the tradition Of
avoiding the lofty and exalted in

Piano Recital Given
By Hwei.ru Yang WI

Hwei-ru Yang WI, talented young
Chinese pianist, played q program
at the Washington College Of Music
last evening. She used the "Har-
monious Blacksmith" variations by
Handel effectively to open her care
fully selected repertoire. In this
work and in the Beethoven lies
Adieux" Sonata Mrs. WI sensed
with subtlety and finesse the import
Of the music. The lyric outlines Of
the Chopin &C Minor Etude" were
beautifully drawn and in 1t a dra-
matte interpretive flare was dis-
closed which was equally convincing
in the MacDowen ITO the Sea. "
Ravel's "Pavane" calls for tonal bal
ance and contrast to relieve its har-
monic and rhythmic insistence and
these were both satisfactorily pres
ent in Mrs. Wu's performance. She
found opportunity to exercise racial
understanding in the Debussy "Pa-
gode," the impressionism Of the
French master lending itself with
fascinating effect to its suggestion
Of the picturesque Orient. The in
tricacies of the music did not be-
wilder Mrs. WI; she rather gave
to her reading a certain poise and
artistic restraint definitely appropri-
ate.
This recital closes two years Of
study in Washington which was pre-
ceded by two years attendance at
Jinling College In Nanking, China.
The sincere attention given to de-
tail, as was exhibited in the entire
evening, cannot fail to bring i'm
portant development and progress
to the young artist.
The Mozart Concerto was played
In its entirety, with Fanny Amstutz
Roberts at the second piano, as a
final number. The brilliance and
clarity of this opus did not over
balance the purely musical char
acteristics of Mrs. Wu's playing.
Enthusiasm prevailed throughout
the program; the pleasure of the
music seeming to be shared by per-
former and audience. S. A.

ROOSEVELT AND YOUR
INSURANCE POLICY

There are millions of poor men whose insurance
policies constitute their sole estate, the one thing they
have to leave when they die. These savings, we believe
are endangered by the reckless, runaway financial
policy of the Roosevelt administration
In an effort to set these facts before the small
policy holders, The Peoples Committee to Defend Life
Insurance and Savings has been formed with %headquar-
tiers in Philadelphia.
This organization points out that Insurance Com
panies have been compelled to reduce their dividends
and raise their rates and that they are choked up with
millions of idle money for which no safe investment
is possible.
It emphasizes the fact that the huge debt and the
continuation Of deficit financing makes initiation in
evitable and that, with initiation, insurance policies like
savings accounts become worthless.

tinuation of this spending policy.
