Benny Friedman Holds Quarterback 'School' By BOB HOOBING OXFOHD, Mtlne (AP) Six euer pupili, five of them col legiiM, ire engaged in a football tint a quarterback "school conducted by master craftsman Benny Friedman. The former Michigan All-America, pro and Hall of Fame hopes the students of his "Think light, throw right" program will help knock conservatism out of the game this fall. "Our coaches," said Bill Mease of Colgate, "told us to team everything Mr. Friedman teaches us about passing 'and forget all WE ever taught you about The setting for this novel concept in gridiron education I Kamp Kohut boys camp which Friedman beads and where quarterbacks work as counselors.

Friedman says his teachings are "in the two realms of toolbar in which very little is known." One is the forward pass, the other is quarterhaeking. Friedman contends that while both arc done constantly they are seldom done correctly.

"This training definitely instills more confidence," said Mease, "It all seems simpler than before because it's "logical." Friedman said his idea began, two years ago when he saw Cohen in a freshman game. "Hs had a great arm, could throw the ball about 70 yards, but was doing everything wrong," Friedman said. "I told him if he wanted to be any good he could forget distance. 'If you can hit a man in the eye at 30 yards and know when to throw the 1 told him, 'then you'll be Friedman helped the boy and enjoyed watching him blossom late last season for Swampscott High. "That gave me the idea," Friedman said.

"I wrote to about 25 colleges and universities along the Atlantic seaboard and offered to take one of their quarterback candidates as a camp counselor and in exchange work with him on his football. The response was gratifying." "Most coaches have no idea about the technique of throwing a football," Friedman says. "They know about pass patterns, blocking for the passer and so forth. There are many facets to throwing including the mechanics of releasing the ball, the timing and protection for yourself. "In all the years I played I never got hurl because I knew how to protect myself.

In my coaching at C.C.N.Y. and Bran- dels, only one of my kids ever was injured and thai was a freak when somebody stepped on the boy's toe. "As for quarterbacking, name a head coach and automatically he is an expert on the subject regardless if he played guard or tackle. What I've done with these boys is give them a sound grasp of field generalship and strategy." Friedman named the three essentials on which he says all of- AP Phot5 QUARTERBACK STUDENTS Benny Friedman, former Michigan All-American, displayed the proper passing technique to students at his "quarterbick school" in Oxford, Maine, during a recent practice session.

"He wasn't swearing continually, he didn't throw his racquet and 'ie didn't snub Contreras," said Toley. But more importantly, Ralston gives evidence of having put his temperamental outbursts behind him, and his record this year is most impressive. Wilh hU knee ailments eured his hands fully healed.
