Emil's Croatian immigrant parents were very glad Emil turned down playing professional footbal with the Pittsburgh Steelers to study law. Emil had been a member of the University of Pittsburgh's Pitt Panthers 1937 championship team.
As Emil loved to tell stories, one of his favorites was flying to a game at the University of Washington . It became a marathon journey, lasting 2 days. The team stopped over in Los Angeles for a public realtions shoot with actress and pin up girl Rita Hayworth.
