COZZA FILM SCREENING

Former Yale football player Jacob Van de Grift has produced a film on the life of the late legendary coach Carm Cozza. There will be a screening on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Whitney Humanities Center at 53 Wall St. in New Haven.

“Carmen Cozza was a mainstay in the rich and storied history of Yale football. But while he had a tremendous impact on the players he coached and led a program that at one time competed in the national spotlight, his quiet-nature and humility has left his story unheard by many,” is how the synopsis of the film begins.
