Jewish family, and retired
from pro ball; the couple
never had children.
Eager to become a full-
time coach, Friedman
applied unsuccessfully for
several college coaching
jobs. Finally, in 1932, he
accepted a job as player-
coach for the pro Brooklyn
Dodgers, who played on
Ebbets Field like their
namesake baseball team.
However, Friedman's
performance on the field
began to slip; and when
new owners bought the
team, they installed some-
one else as coach, retaining
Friedman as the team's
quarterback.
Since his interest in
coaching was strong,
Friedman stopped play-
ing in 1934 and became
the coach at City College
of New York. The playing
field (Lewisohn Stadium)
was not very good, and football was
overshadowed at City College by bas-
ketball under the popular Nat Holman.
Moreover, athletics at City College
were clearly secondary to education.
Friedman kept looking for other
coaching jobs to no avail. Finally, in
1942, he joined the Navy and saw
combat in the South Pacific.
After the war, the Friedmans moved
to Detroit, where he ran a Jeep auto
dealership.
In 1948, Friedman accepted a job
as athletic director, football coach
and fundraiser at newly established
Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass.
When the school began to gain aca-
demic respectability, the administra-
tion and faculty questioned the neces-
sity for a football team; and, in 1960, it
was eliminated.
Friedman stayed on as ath-
letic director for two years and then
resigned. He ran a summer camp in
Maine and also taught high-school
quarterbacks how to improve their
performance. In addition, he was an
insurance executive and an occasional
TV commentator on football games.

Friedman's health began to deterio-
rate; and in 1979, he had a blood clot
in his leg that necessitated amputa-
tion. Finally, in poor health and in
despair that he might lose his other
leg, Friedman shot himself. He died
Nov. 23, 1982, 57 years to the day he'd
been elected as the first Jewish captain
of the Michigan Wolverines.
During his lifetime, Friedman wrote
many letters to sport editors for their
consideration in admitting him to the
Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton,
Ohio. He never got the call.
But in 2005, Friedman finally
emerged as a "senior status" finalist
and was voted and inducted into the
hall of fame, just 60 miles from where
he grew up and had been born 100
years earlier.
The story of his becoming a celeb-
rity and then descending into relative
obscurity is nicely told in this biogra-
phy, reminding us about a man who
was once hailed as a Jewish hero. ❑
