Navy Players Hope Bell
Will Be Allowed 70 PLAY

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. IT,
The Navy football squad report
ed today through Capt. Phil
Monahan it is hoping that Tom
my Bell. Army's star back, won't
be kept out of their November
q game in Philadelphia because
Of eligibility regulations.
Bells status has been ques-
toned because he played twice
as a plebe (freshman). He re.
entered West Point after drop
ping out in his plebe year. The
Eastern College Athletic Confer
ence is considering whether the
senior from The Brox, N. Y, had
one year too many since this Ia
his fourth ON the varsity.
ut is not the wish of the Navy
team to become involved in poll
icy matters or the business of the
ECAC," Monahan said, but we
do hope that Bell is allowed to
play against US"
Monahan said the squad was
polled on their attitude toward
Bell after being questioned by
outsiders.
'They felt that Bell should
play since it is tough to miss the
big one after having been q
star all season." Monahan said.
