Mr. Brode said Stephen
Greenberg, deputy commis-
sioner of major league
baseball and son of the late
Tiger first baseman, will be
on hand for the tournament
honoring his father.
"The family is delighted
that we're having the
tourney in Hank's honor and
that proceeds will go to help
cancer research and treat-
ment here in Detroit," said
Mr. Brode. The Tiger all-
star, a 1956 Baseball Hall of
Famer and a 1985 inductee
of the Michigan Jewish
Sports Hall, died of cancer in
1986.
The tourney will offer par-
ticipants the chance to play
along with professionals and
celebrities, said Mr. Brode.
"It's going to be a major
event in every way."
He said television per-
sonality Monte Hall, a close
friend of the late baseball
great, has volunteered to
help with the tourney.
The event will include
both golf and tennis because
Greenberg played both. "In
fact, in his later years, he
was quite a good tennis
player who played corn-

petitively in a number of
pro-celebrity tennis tour-
naments," said Mr. Brode.
Mr. Schembechler ac-
cepted the Foon Award from
Mr. Davidson and then told
the big crowd tales of two of
his Jewish football players
and Yom Kippur.
"You all have this major
holiday called Yom Kippur,
which comes early in the fall
every year," said Mr.
Schembechler, the son of a
German Catholic father and
Episcopalian mother. "I'd
like to propose a change in
the date, but if it's already
set, then we'll go with it."
He recalled how, when he
was coaching at Miami of
Ohio in 1963, he had a Jew-
ish linebacker named Mike
Cohen, "captain of the foot-
ball team, our top defensive
player. Mike came to me one
day and said, 'Coach, next
Saturday is Yom Kippur and
I know we have a game but I
can't play. I know my
parents wouldn't approve.'
"I said to him, 'You can't
play? What do you mean you
— C'mon, how about asking
them anyway, let's see if we
can work this out, you know?
I mean, look, you don't have
to come to the team meeting,
you don't have to eat the
team meal, but you gotta
play, Mike. This is a big
game!'
"So Mike asked his
parents and he told me they
said he could play. 'But
coach,' he said, 'there's just
one thing: I have to change
my number.'
"I said to him, 'You mean
you don't think they'll know
who you are the way you
tackle? But okay, we'll
change your number from 60
to 99. But I gotta tell the
other coach.' "
