Bell Ruted AII-Ameriean Prospect:
Eight Negroes Expected
To Play Big Roles
On "61" Gopher Team

Eight Negro football players are playing big roles for Coach
Murray Warmah he attempts to reshape his defending
tOna champion University of Minnesota football into
winner in 1861.
The talented octet includes tackle Bobby Bell quarterback
Sandy Stephens right half Bill Munsey ullback Judge Dick
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1961-10-06


Mudd and tackle Carl Eller.
Bell, Stephens and Munsey are
first stringers and key men in
their positions. Dickson is alter
mating with Jerry Jones for the
first string fullback berth. Another
likely prospect for the first team
before the end of the season is
Carl Eller. Roles, Smith and Mudd
appear likely to continue in re-
serve roles.
Bell All-American Prospect
Rated a possible All-AmeriCan
prospect, Bell, a junior from Shell
by, North Carolina, is another in
a long line of outstanding Mime
sofa tackles. He does not have the
usual heft which has been a trade
mark of Gopher tackles for so
long however. Not that he is a
midget, at Ga, 200 pounds, but he
does rely more on speed and agility
than brute force.
Bell broke into the starting line
up in the first game as a sophie
more and quickly gained rave
notices from reporters throughout
the midwest. His great speed and
instantaneous reactions made him
a feared red dog specialist and
many an opposing back felt the
lash of his smashing tackles. If
he continues the improvement ex-
hibited as a first year man, he
could be one of the all-time great
linemen at a school noted for its
linemen.
Stephens Called Teams
Indispensable"
Stephens has been described as
"the indispensable man" on the
Gopher team this year He is the
only experienced signal caller and
one of the nations few remaining
triple threat backs. He is not a
great passer but runs and kicks
with the best. He is expected to
carry the greater part Of the
quarterbacking chores unless one
of his inexperienced understudies
can improve rapidly enough to
spell him consistently.
Stephens Led go Scoring
Leading scorer on the 1860
Gophers, Stephens chalked up "a
points on nine touchdowns. He car
ried the ball 81 times for 1874 net
yards. His yardage often was made
down close to the goal where the
going was tough and a few yards
were as hard to get as 10 or 20 in
midfield. He completed 20 of 81
passes for a 38 per cent record
and punted 55 times for 1916
yards, an average of 35.3 per boot.
The 60, 2O5-pound senior from
Uniontown, Pennsylvania, also re-
turned 16 punts for Ill yards and
returned nine kickoffs for 230
yards. He was a tough man on
pass defense, too, intercepting four
aerials and carrying them back ia
yard.

"A jury that convicted DR.. r..
