BLOOMINGTON, IND — Bo McMillin, Indiana University’s football coach, believes the Crimson eleven of 1942 will be one of the strongest in the history of the state university, and one of the biggest reasons—in fact, a 205-pound reason—is Ed Bell, who will play regular right tackle. Bell hails from Austin high school in Chicago, where young boys grow up in football cleats. He played with the Chicago Junior Cardinals back in 1934, starring with the fine Austin high school teams of three and four years ago, and is now ready to come into his own as a varsity performer for Indiana. Last fall Bell alternated with the veteran Jimmie Trimble, and got in nearly 200 minutes of action out of 480 played by the Hoosiers. Several years ago Bell made up his mind that he wanted to be a great college football player. He picked out Joe Stvdahar as an ideal idol, and if Ed keeps “pouring it on” like he has been hi Indiana’s pre-game practices, he will realize that goal some day before he is through as a college player. Bell, in all probability, will have to be a 60-minute performer this fall for the Hoosiers. Reserve

strength at the two tackle positions is inadequate, but Bell appears to be fitted for the task ahead of him. Popular with his teammates, Bell will help Indiana’s football team write gridiron history in 1942, if predictions come true. He is a member of Pi Lambda Phi fraternity, and ranks high in the
