Player Status ‘Hunchy’ Asked

CHICAGO, April 12 (U. P)— Indians university’s hopes for another Western conference football championship next fall were clouded today when the eligibility of two brilliant backfield stars, Bob (Hunchy) Hoernschmeyer and George Sundheim, was questioned. Hoernschmeyer and Sundheim returned to Indiana recently after being dismissed from the U. 8. Naval academy because of scholastic deficiencies. Both were former Indiana students and it wag assumed they would be eligible for. immediate competition under the conference's liberalized war-time eligibility regulations. The eligibility of the returnees was questioned, however, and the conference's eligibility committee, | headed by Prof. Ralph Aigler of the University of Michigan, was asked for a ruling on Hoernschmeyer, who is a candidate for the Hoosier baseball team. No Ruling

The committee has not ruled on Hoernschmeyer's eligibility and may not reach a decision until after a meeting late next month at Champaign. The athlete was held out of the Hoosier's first three games at the “suggestion” of Commissioner Kenneth L. Wilson and will not participate in a Saturday series with Notre Dame. Hoernschmeyer, the league's outstanding forward passer in 1943 and 1044, has one season of competition remaining. Sundheim was the regular fullback on the 1944 team and has two years of play left. Both were first team members at Annapolis at the start of the 1945 campaign. While the Western conference Hberalized its eligibility rules to cover competition by freshmen, graduate students, transfers and agreed to forgive certain scholastic failures made under “war-time stress,” the key to Hoernschmeyer's competition rests on an interpretation “of a scholastic deficiency recorded after transfer to another educational institution.” Service Code Indiana athletic authorities insist Hoernschmeyer is eligible under the code governing servicemen. The star was a member of the naval reserve while at Indiana and his transfer to Annapolis was said to have been upon the orders of the navy. The case of Bundheim differs in that respect as he followed the normal pattern and gained entrance to the academy through a congressional appointment.

Although he has only a season © of competition, Hoernschmeyer said © if ruled ineligible he would remain Eat Indiana to “play it out.” 3 Coach “Bo” McMillin was counting on Hoernschmeyer and Sundheim ‘to perform at the two key t . positions of his “cockeyed T" fore . mation next fall.
