College football
Frye played football for many years. In 1917 and 1918 he was All A. E. F. center in France. He scrubbed at Tech a year and won letters in 1921, 1922, and 1923.[1] Frye was selected All-Southern in 1922 and 1923. In 1922 he received more votes at the center position than the likes of Clyde Propst and Ed Kubale.[2]
He and two other men were once accused of severely assaulting a man, then forcing him to kneel in apology before a well-known society girl for an alleged insult.[3]
gollark: It's pronounced Piephoon, by the way.
gollark: Owwww, my eyes.
gollark: I personally use LineageOS, microG and the Yalp play store thing.
gollark: By "don't use google" I mean the search engine; I guess Android is also google, but if you use an AOSP ROM and use alternatives for google apps/services, it's fine.
gollark: They do actually, though they mostly make android phones now...
