War Department Rejects
Grid Players Requests
Davis. Blanchard And Poole Will Not Be AL.
lowed Furlough To Play Professional
Football; Solons "Shocked" AT Idea

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 - [P) -
Three West Point football greats
Felix Blanchard, Glenn Davis
and Barney Poole were thrown
for a big monetary loss today
when the War Department flat.
ly rejected their requests for
furloughs to play pro football.
With a clamor of opposition tc
their. requests rising On capitol
hill, Secretary of War Patterson
acted swiftly. He not only turned
them down but virtually tabdoz'
hem for service overseas where,
he said, There is a shortage OF
Second Lieutenants."
Thus. when another gridiron sea
son rolls around, the famous trio
may be far from the roaring
crowds and the big money.
The three stars - many regard
Blanchard and Davis as the
Academy's greatest one-two grid,
iron combination - had asked fol
four months fall leave following
their graduation next June.
The War Departments formal
announcement said:
THE requirements of Military
training and service for young
officers are such that the War De
partment cannot favorably con
slider granting extended leave OF
absence for engaging in private
enterprise.
ut is the current practice tc
sent all newly commissioned Of
ficers to Army Service Schools
for a period of several months OF
additional training before join
ing their units. Following this
schooling such officers are now be-
ing sent on foreign service where
there is a shortage of Second
Lieutenants.
in making this decision careful
consideration was given to all
factors involved including those
peculiar to the case in question.
THE Secretary of War felt that
any other decision would be in
imical to the best interests OF
the service"
i, Patterson's mention of a need
for Leiutenants abroad could
mean that Blanchard, Davis and
Poole might not even see a nro.
fessional game, let alone play in
one.
1t also was in line with a sug-
gestion by Chairman Andrews
(R-NY OF the House Armed Ser.
vices Committee that the three be
assigned to occupation duty in
Germany or Japan just like many
another "Shavetail."
Even before Patterson announc
ed his ruling, Congressman lined
up in an IN" formation IN"
for mo" - against the players
bid to play for pay.
Strong interest had been arous-
ed because of their outstanding
ability and the desire of many
fans that they not be cut off from
the game at the peak of their abili-
ty. Davis and Blanchard were
three times chosen for the All
America backfield and Poole was
a star end.

The National and American lea
o1,es meeting in separate sessions
devoted most OF the day to dis

President Ford Frick Of che Ma

would be taken to keep gamblers

rule that players possessing

would be barred from the game
for life.
Rules in the New Major League
agreement which provide penalties
for gambling were Incorporated IN

The league ordered copies of the
rules against gambling to be dis

rooms. and the business offices of
each park.
Furthermore, the manager of
each team will be instructed to
read aloud the new rules to his
players at the start of the season
and to lecture them on their en-

"The league also will police the
