On Grid, Army Feels
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Army is sticking by its guns
on intercollegiate football-there'
no official ruling against soldiers in
the specialized training program en-
portant, there's no time. officials say.
That stand consistently has been
taken by the Army since inception
OF the program sending thousands
of soldiers to school gave athletic
directors dreams of husky gridiron
squads.
1t stood today despite announce.
ment by University of Maryland Of
ficials Of an 8-game schedule and
expression of hope that the Terra
pin team would include some Of
the hundreds of soldiers there.
No Time to Train for Grid.
There's no objection to sports. In
fact. the Army indorses athletics Of
all kinds and encourages all men
to engage in them, particularly in
the combative type of which foot
ball is tops.
But, the schedule for the soldiers
sent to college calls for plenty OF
work. and officials say it doesn't
allow time for play. Actual class
and study hours total about 80
hours a week. leaving little time for
athletic activities If a soldier is to
keep up his grades. And they must
do that, they're in the Army and
can't funk out.
Principal hirdrance to soldier par
ticipation in bi2-time sports is the
lack of time-after meeting that
tough scholastic schedule-for train
ing. Without that training. Army
men say, obviously few men, re-
gardless of physical stamina, could
stand the rough-and-tumble rigors
Of big-time college football games.
Pressure On Army.
However, there still are several
weeks before the football season
can be started and there's plenty
of pressure being brought to keep
the college teams up to par instead
of on a Glass Xxx basis with teams
made up OF youngsters below draft
age.
What the pressure may develop
if anything. and some Army men
believe it won't mean a thing
remains to be seen.
