By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Editor The laiy diys of summer were the fun days for Benny Friedman when the former Michigan All-America' quarterback had a camp for boys at Oxford, Me he sold the camp and now at age 64 he's Am" Fitchburg Sentinel, Tuesday, July 8, 1969 7 Friedman Sells Maine Grid Camp; Planning To Open Seven More going back to work.

And bo will travel about 7,000 miles. "This should be a busy summer for mi," says Friedman. "I'll have seven Quarterback Camps, mainly for boys of high school and college age. "There, will he three at the Hackley School in Tarrytown. N.Y., two at California Lutheran College in Thousand Oaks, where the Dallas Cowboys are training, and two in Nebraska, "The thing that gives me the most satisfaction is th.rt the youngsters keep coming back to improve their football skills as quarterbacks.

Their parents seam to know that's where the money Is tar Friedman to coach 420 young men in the art of quarterbacking before the fum- mer is over. He limits each class to 60 players at S150 each. Roughly, that's $25,000 for coaching which is more than Benny made when he coached at Brandeis University or City College of New York. Friedman finds it's easier to set up camps at far away places than have the youngsters travel to him. Practically every boy ht coaches has a parent or a coach 'back of him and fhe exchange of letters keeps Friedman busy long before the first pass is thrown.

"Recently I got a letter from Pete Mangum, former Arkansas quarterback who coaches high school football in Lake Charles, La." says Friedman. "He that. Joe Kannedy, a boy I coached, threw 27 touchdown passes as a junior last year." In May, Friedman received two letters from Charles R. Taturn of Fullerton, who was interested in sending his 10-year-old son Charles to one of the Thousand Oaks camps. "Charles has played Pop Warner football for two years," wrote Tatum.

"He was a middle linebacker at 68 pounds. Our. oldest son, Zach, 16, has played guard and tackle the last five years. He is captain of his team and they depend on him too much to make a change. "We feel that our youngest son, Charles, is denied the opportunity to attend -your school then he will be a middle linebacker and possibly a running bick for the rest of his life.

If he can attend your camp for three years we feel that he can become a high school quarterback." "How can you turn down a father and his son?" aski Friedman. "I accepted the boy. Age 10 is young but when he's 'l3 will know about quarterbacking and passing." Friedman, who features ways (o pass without getting blitzed by the opposition, believes in six-day camps. He winds up sessions by putting his passers in competition according to their age. Following two June camps at Tarrytown, Friedman headed for California for two camps.
