None of the conference schools has
played the Army for Is years, but the
real reason, 1t was said, was because
the Army athletic authorities would
no. agree to home -and-home games.
The conference eligibility rule states
that Big Ten teams shall not play In
situations Of similad standing lin the
Middle West" which do not observe
the rule OF restricting players to three
years OF varsity competition. Under
this rule. 1t was said. games with the
Army would not be barred. since they
