Erdelafz Drops Plan
To Convert Monahan
Into Navy Fu|Iback

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Sept. A.
Coach Eddie Erdelatz has aban-
doned. at least for the time be-
ing. his idea Of converting Half
back Phil Monahan into q full
back.
'sWe decided to return Phil
to right halfback where he is
more at home on defense" the
Navy coach said today. HE has
been running well at fullback but
Coach Ben Martin (who works
with the defensive backfleld)
needed q seasoned veteran to
help the unsettled situation at
the defensive right half position.
"Monahan should help a great
deal with the green players we
are working with there"
Guest Moved to No. 1 Spot.
This moved Dick Guest, a jun
Tor from Woodbury., N. j.. into
the No. 1 fullback post, but he
will have to fight to beat out
Joe Gattuso. last years regular
fullback. who is fast rounding
into shape after missing spring
practice.
Monahan, the 195-pound cap
tain of the Middies and top
scorer on last years team with
80 points. did not have too much
opportunity to develop into a
fullback. He spent most of spring
practice in the Navy hospital
with knee surgery and had been
used only in light drills since
reporting for wall workouts 10
days ago.
Craig at Left Halfback.
In shifting Monahan to right
halfback, Erdelatz moved Bob
Craig from right to left half
back and dropped Bill Hep
worth, former No. l left half.
to No. 2 behind Craig. Jack Gar
row runs in the No. 2 right half
back slot behind Monahan.

Wilson Declares Only Fools
Should Take Pentoqon Posts

Secretary Of Defense Wilson
said facetiously yesterday that
one of the qualifications for be-
coming a top Pentagon civilian
official was TO be "a damn fool
otherwise he wouldn't think
about it."
Mr.. Wilson made the remark
in reply to a question about
whether he was having trouble
finding capable men to enter
Government service. Explaining
his demands for ability, honesty
and hard work. he wound up his
list Of qualifications by saying:
HE must not think he's sick
when he sweats: he must have
good habits and not get drunk
and do disgraceful things"
The defense chief stoutly de-
Tended his administrations adj
dition Of six more assistant sec
retaries in the Army. Navy and
Air Force. bringing to 30 the
number of secretaries, under and.
assistant secretaries in the over
all Defense Department. This
compares with eight such off,.
cials in the War and Navy De-
partments during World War II
and IL when the military estab-
