Benjamin Friedman, great Michigan quarterback of 1926, and Eddie Dooley, 1926 quarterback-poet from Dartmouth, played against each other for the first time last week. Meeting in a Manhattan hotel, they fell to discussing the forward pass, gesticulated, went to the Polo Grounds to suit action to words.
