From childhood a football was as inseparable a toy of Benny Friedman as a rag doll is to a little girl. His hands were large and horny fondling a football.

He could wrap his muscular paw half way around the equator of a football. Like Picking Grapefruit. Friedman developed a pass far ahead of anything seen up until then a knack that gave the ball a peculiar drop so calculated that when the ball reached the recevier or the receiver reached the ball he would take it with the ease of picking a grapefruit off a tree. The ambition of Friedman, now a Naval officer, was to be a lawyer, but when he left college, his father, a neighborhood tailor who slaved to put him through school, had become incapacitated. In order to support the family, including his parents, two younger brothers and an orphaned niece, BenDy turned to the money ELKS' BOWLING.

Opening their season Friday night, the Oilers came through with a surprise and thrilling 23-21 victory over Farrell on the losers' court. Farrell last season went to the state finals and in its only previous test this year had shown plenty of power in a 34-7 triumph over a veteran Meadville High quintet. The Oilers, who play at Franklin next Tuesday, were never behind the Steelers, although the scoring was nip and tuck all the way.

The first chapter ended at tt-5, and at the half the tally was knotted at 8-all. In the third frame Oil City stepped out In front Hi-12 and eked through the last period as Farrell fired from any range in desperation. Seven foul points went a long way to keep the Steelers in the running in the low-scoring contest. Bill Clouse, Oiler forward, connected five times on Held attempts to lead the scoring with 10 points.

DEATHlFJOCKEY MAY END CHARGE OF BRIBE BALTIMORE, Dec. 11. UP The death of Jockey Joseph M. Pannell, in a three horse pile-up at Charles-town, W. this week may end the investigation into charges that Jockey Matthew Quinn attempted to bribe him into holding back a mount last summer, Chairman Frank Small, of the State Racing Commission Indicated today.

Quinn denied yesterday that he attempted to bribe Pannell, describing the charge as "'absolutely false." He allegedly offered Pannell $150 to accept a mount named "White Sea" at the Marlboro track on Nov. 27, closing day of the meeting there. The horse won, paying $4.70. Quinn said he did not discuss the first race with Pannell but that he had mentioned the fifth race and a sum of $150. He told the commission that he had heard from a tout and another man, neither of whom he could identify, that Pannell had accepted a $150 bribe to hold hack this mount, "Note" in the fifth race.

"I asked Pannel if he had taken the money," he told the commission. "He shook his head and said nothing." COACH STEVENS LEAVES. SAMPSON, N. Dec. 11.

By BOB MEYER. CHICAGO, Dec.

11. UP Speedy Nate Bolden tried for eight rounds to match punches with the ponderous Gus Doraizo last night, but the heavier fishter dealt out a bruising reception to win a decision in a 10-round bout at the Chicago Stadium. Dozario, a 6-5 favorite, made It his fifth consecutive triumph before 4,320 spectators. Bolden spotted Dorazio more than 22 pounds, weighing in at 171, to his opponent's 193. Bolden, a speedy, dancing little Chicago negro puncher, mixed with the hugh Philadelphian without fear in the opening rounds, but both fighters worked cautiously and neither could land effectively.

The fifth round changed all that, when Dorazio first swung the advantage definitely in his favor when he pounded out punching right and left cuts through the middle as both fighters braced their heads together and turned the bout into a slug-fest. Bolden went back to his corner with his stoic features cut up and calm demeanor noticeably shaken. Determined to keep his advantage, Dorazio pressed the battle in the sixth, seventh, and eighth rounds. Suddenly in the ninth, Bolden changed his tactics. He footworked away from the slow Philadelphian, dancing in continually to shoot a quick left jab to bis face.

The negro boy, refusing to lay himself open any longer to the bruising close-in thrusts, began to steal the points. But It was too late. As the final bell sounded, the scrappers were standing toe to toe, exchanging sharp, punishing punches, but it was Dorazio who was still in command. The decision, however, surprised the crowd by its closeness. On tbe basis of his late rally, Bolden was given the victory by Judge Ed Clein, 56 to 44 points.

Judge R. A. Goudie and Referee Heimie Weissman each scored the triumph for Dorazio, 52 to 48. NURSERY RESERVES DEFEAT GROVE, 15-4 The Franklin High reserves scored a 15-4 victory over the Rocky Grove junior varsity Friday in the preliminary game at Rocky Grove.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11. LP Branch Rickey, "father" of the farm system during his many years with the St. Louis Cardinals, apparently is laying the groundwork as president of the Brooklyn Dodgers to become potent of plantation production in post-war baseball. Gray-haired, bespectacled Rickey, generally regarded as the arch-enemy of Commissioner Kenesaw M.

Landis and the rest of baseball's anti-farm group, is making preliminary moves to unify Brooklyn's five club farm nucleus in preparation for the all-out drive when peace comes. Developments of the past couple of days indicate that psalm-singing Branch Is weeding out of the Brooklyn ranch ramifications the last remnants of the Larry McPhail regime that preceded Rickey's shift to the Dodgers a year ago. Also he is making changes aimed at developing staff officers for a great post-war farm drive. At present the Dodzer farm system includes only five minor clubs. They have partial ownership of Montreal of the International League; working agreements with St.

Paul of the American Association and New Orleans of the Southern Association and outright ownership of Durham, N. in the Piedmont League, and Olean, X. in the Pony League. Montreal is their No. 1 plantation.

The Rickey unification process naturally bore down on Montreal. Hence, in the past 24 hours, Fresco Thompson has been relieved of his post as manager of the Royals, and conflicting announcements have been made about John A. McDonald, general manager of the Royals, which indicate that John former traveling secretary for the Dodgers under Mac-Phail probably will be booted out of the Dodder system entirely when his Montreal contract expires Jan. 1. It is uncertain what will happen to Thompson now working in a Yonk-ers shipyard who piloted the Montreal club to fourth place in the international circuit, meanwhile attracting an unexpectedly large number of customers.

At any rate, Thompson has been replaced by Bruno Betzel, manager of the Durham Bulls. Betzel's elevation followed the recent an1 nouneement that Ray Blades had been switched from managership of the New Orleans club to a similar post with St. Paul. These changes left managerial vacancies at New Orleans and Durham, which will be filled by pro-Rickey and pro-farm men. Before the 1944 season opens, Rickey apparently will have a tightly-knot chain-store unit, geared for expansion the day the war ends.

In planning this expansion, Rickey apparently is ignoring the opposition of Landis and the anti-farm group of owners, headed by Walter 0. Briggg of the Tigers. Branch has re-written the lyrics of the old song to read, "how you go'na keep them of fen the farm?" He is making sure that the father of postwar No. 1 farms will be the grandfather of the post-war No. 2 irrigation projects.

Dining cars on one Canadian railroad line served 2,3119,000 meals during a siugle year. By HARRY GRAYSON, NBA Sports Editor. Benny Friedman twice overcame discouragement to scale the heights in football. Two weeks after solemn-faced little Benny Friedman entered Cleveland's East Tech High, Sam Willaman, the coach, dashed his fondest hopes by telling him he'd never make a football player. So Benny packed himself off to Glenville High.

A short while later Willaman met up with the Glenville coach and remarked "I see you've a boy named Friedman on your team. I had him a couple of weeks and he was a flivver. If you make a player of him and he's on your first team at the end of the season I'll buy dinners for every high school conch in Cleveland." At the end of the season all the high school coaches in Cleveland sat down to a dinner and the head waiter handed Sam Willaman the check. Eight years later at Michigan, Fielding Yost characterized a scintillating Benny Friedman as "the only quarterback I ever saw who went through an entire season without making a mistake the greatest quarterback I ever had." Dummies Made Good. There was no pronounced hullabaloo over the chunky quarterback in his freshman year at Ann Artor.

Always of a retiring disposition, Benny had made few friends. Disappointed and lonely, he packed his trunk and an-nuoneed he was off for Dartmouth, where some of his Glenville teammates had gone. George Little, Hurry Up Yost's chief deputy, dissuaded the youngster. One October afternoon while Friedman and a lanky end named Ferenz were pegging a football to each other, Tad Weiman, line conch, asked Little for a couple of scrubs to run the ball into tbe tackles an inferferer and a carrier. "Take those two dummies over there." said Little, not meaning for the players to hear him.

For four afternoons the guinea pig team of Friedman and Ferenz took it on the chin. But on the fifth day they put three varsity tackles out for the season. Friedman was a swarthy, evenly-featured kid with raven hair and glittering black eyes. He stood 5 feet 9, weighed 172 pounds in college, 180 as a professional. Passer Carried Teams.

The highly intelligent and quick and clear thinking Friedman played in the day of the seven-man line and not too much passing. He was the first passer to carry a team. Michigan and the Xew York Giants won with his marksmanship. He threw with the lack of effort of Red Ruffing. He ran more with the Polo Grounders than he did in school and at his peak was considered by some the top player of the game.

He was fast enough and a sure tackier and excellent safety man. He didn't punt but was a fair place-kicker. He was the acme of nonchalance, made it look BERRIES WIN THIRD, TOP EMLENTON, 36-23 Scoring its third straight victory of the year, Cranberry High defeated Emlenton, 36-23, Friday night on the Berry floor.

Splurging seven points In a three-minute overtime period, Franklin High emerged with a 31-26 victory over Rocky Grove in a thrill-packed, hard-fought battle before an overflow crowd in the Grove gymnasium Friday night.

The game was thrown into an extra period when the Orioles fought their way from behind to deadlock the score in the last few seconds of regulation time. In those three added minutes Franklin dropped behind for the first time in the ball game, edged into a one-point lead, and to make matters definite, piled in a couple of mor baskets The fourth quarted ended at 24-all. No sooner had the whistle sounded to open the extra frame than Rocky Grove had a basket and its first lead. Center Dick Shouey tapped the jump ball to Graham, who relayed it to Johnson for a neat side shot. In a few seconds Winnie Baker collected on a foul try for Franklin to make the difference only one point.

Stumpfs Basket Wins Game. Three Nurseryites, who had failed to score from the field up until that time, came through with baskets. At the end of one minute Charlie Stumpf looped a long one into the nets to uut Franklin in front. After a scoreless minute Jim Barnicle and Bob Shorts pitched in one apiece to break the tension and do things up brown. Up until that time there hadn't been a dull moment.

There was but a single point scored in the second period by Franklin but the eager crowd still found enough excitement to keep up a constant, ever-increasing uproar. Only one of the five men Coach Ed Treadwell had picked at the start of the year for his regulars was on the floor at the end. Two men were out of action with ailments. Two others, Capt. Ralph Musser and Bob Cooley, were ejected on personal fouls during the third quarter.

Rocky Grove's Ray Neeley also went out on fouls about the same time. It was after Musser and Cooley left the game that the Orioles began creeping up on tbe Nursery. Musser had been on the bench during the all-but-scoreless second period after being penalized three times in the first canto. During the time he was in action in the third, Franklin built a 10-6 lead up to 18-10. By the end of the quarter the margin was 2-15.

Grovers Knot Count at 22. Aggie Walters and Baker, rival forwards matched foul points at the start of the fourth frame. Then Rocky Grove slowly edged into a 22-all tie, Shouey lifting in a field goal from underneath, Graham collecting two foul points, and with a little better than three minutes remaining, Johnson connecting on a long floor shot. Two minutes had elapsed when Baker stepped in to take an out-of-bounds pass from Shorts and score from underneath and give Franklin a lead that lasted only seconds. Shouey swished the nets on a corner shot to tie up the score again and necessitate the extra period.

Although he had only a third of the time to show, Musser put on a performance that stood out and above every other. The veteran Franklin captain in his first two games this year hadn't come up to his old form, but last night he lived up to expectations. Playing his first full varsity game, Baker, however, stole much of the show. He was the big thorn in Rocky Grove's side down through the game, breaking up many plays and taking control of Franklin's offense while Musser was out. The two of them paired as high scorers, each counting nine points.

Tall Shouey Gets 7 Points. Walters played steady, heads-up ball for tbe Orioles, while Shouey and Graham each contributed seven points apiece. The Grove attack mainly relied on feeding the ball to Shouey, who towered above the rest of the players, but Franklin kept him well covered most of the time. There's no doubt that Shouey will manufacture a lot of points for the Orioles this year. There was a veritable lid over the Grove basket, especially in the second quarter Altogether the Pricemen took R8 field shots, only eight of them falling in, while a good many took a trip around the hoop and dropped outside.

Franklin took 46 shots in making 11.

Benny's place-kk-k was the margin between Michigan and the Wheaton Iceman and the Illini the following fall. The Wolverines won the Big Ten championship in 1925-20 though shaded by Northwestern by the baseball score of 3-2, in '25.
