Wiener, Former Partner. Tilden Seeks Grid
New Haven, Conn. Sept 29. Alexander Wiener once mentored by Bill Tilden shifts from tennis to football to gain weight for Yale grid role. At 20, 6 ft 11 in, he weighs 161, the heaviest of his life, and is among Yale’s top quarterback prospects after earning freshman football and tennis medals. Wiener’s move ends a decade of doubles play with Tilden, who coached Wiener from 1921 to 1928, winning state titles in Rhode Island 1926, Illinois 1927, and Southern Atlantic 1926 27. Wiener attended Germantown Academy before Yale and Wallingford theater school for senior year.
