others were permitted to participate if they were enlisted in the armed services.
Mueh dissatisfaction arose over Chief Specialist Brumley's playing football at the
University of Oklahoma. ‘This tean won the conference championship. Don “Bull” Reese,
a civilian at Missouri, participated in his fow'th season although not a nenber of the
armed forces. Price Brookfield is participating at Iowa state College although he has
played two seasons of professional ball - one of baseball and one of basketball. He
