...with Gossip Columnist Leonard Lyons. He not only allowed but encouraged the world to turn him into a character. He had well-publicized talks about child care with Grandmother Marlene Dietrich ("The Kraut"), jovially referred to himself as Doctor Hemingstein or Old Ernie Hemorrhoid ("The Poor Man's Pyle"), and talked of his literary prowess in prizefighting terms: "I trained hard and I beat Mr. De Maupassant.

Bright as they are, the Yale players were slow to reach their potential, mainly because Ivy League law prevented Coach Jordan Olivar from holding spring practice. This year, with its fundamentals finally down pat, Yale blended power and finesse on the attack. With Pro Prospects Pyle and Guard Benny Balme (6 ft. 1 in., 215 Ibs.) blocking up front, Yale had the brute strength to open holes for the driving runs of Fullback Blanchard (6 ft. 2 in., 205 Ibs.). When the defense bunched to stop Blanchard, Quarterback Singleton would run the option inside end-hitting like a fullback himself...
