Maurice Bennett Flynn, a native of Greenwich, Connecticut, entered Yale University in 1911. In 1912, he joined the football team and made an immediate impact as a fullback. Nicknamed "Lefty" (because he kicked with his left foot and threw with his left hand), he also excelled in baseball and track. While attending Yale, he lived in the Bronx, acquiring a second nickname, "The Bronx Express." Unfortunately, in two of Yale's biggest games of the 1912 season, he played below par against Harvard and Princeton. In January of 1913, Flynn married Irene Leary, a chorus girl. Some newspapers mistakenly reported that he had married actress Ina Claire, possibly because Leary used the stage name Irene Claire. Officials at Yale were not happy with the situation, and barred Flynn from returning to the school. Before 1913 was over, the marriage ended in divorce, with Leary naming another chorus girl as correspondent.
