Today's Tidbit... Eddie Dooley's 1936 All-America Team Contest

Eddie Dooley played quarterback for Dartmouth in the mid-1920s before becoming a sportswriter for the New York Sun. In 1936, he joined the Columbia Radio Network airing a show on college football. That season, he ran a promotion with a sponsor, Royal Typewriter. Listeners across the country picked up the season's college football schedule at their local Royal dealer and listened for his predictions on Thursday nights and his game reviews on Saturday nights.
