Description
In 1941, stockbroker Morris Neuburger and radio sales executive Alexander “Bink” Danenbaum came up with the idea of ??a fictional college football team. Using the name Jerry Croyden, Newburge called the New York papers and Danenbaum called the Philadelphia papers to highlight Plainfield’s lopsided victories over several (equal) schools beginning in late October. For the first two weeks, the New York and Philadelphia papers did not match scores and opponents, but by the third week, they were better organized.
