WEST POINT, N. Y,, Aug."
6—All but one player on Army's 1951 football start-
ing lineup are among the 90 _
cadets facing dismissal from the U. 8. Military Academy for classroom cheathhg, it was learned today. Col. Earl (Red) Blaik, coach of Army's great postwar football teams which have won 25 out of 27 games, was expected to announce soon whether he will resign. “I.will have a statement shortly,” he said. He would not discuss its nature. Various of the accused cadets have said that if it had not been for Col. Blaik’'s urging so many football players might not have confessed in the scandal. “Truth is the best policy,” Col. Blaik had told them. “If you know anything, say so.” No Word on Son
It wasn't known' whether Bob Blak Ane .cogsnis son. and Sia fo'be quarterback on next sear son’s-team was among the cadets Only one Army football player, Kingston, N. Y., has said he is not among the 90. Cadet Harold J. Loehlein, 24, captain-elect of the 1951 squad and only member of the squad to publicly identify himself among the accused 90, expressed bitterness that he and the others were being made scapegoats for what he said had been a long-standing custom of eribbing at the Point. “The assistance given by one cadet to another is something which has been going .on for years,” said Cadet Loehlein, who also is senior class president. “We did not instigate this by far, but we are the ones to receive the full attack.” One cadet said he already has received five offers to play football elsewhere. 1" Army Denies Threat “
The Army denied charges of eight. cadets’ that they were “threatened with imprisonment at Leavenworth and loss of citizenship” if they refused to confess their guilt. : “If, at any time, it isadiscovered that such threats were made, the
people responsible will be proper-|
ly punished,” Col. James B. Leer, academy public relations officer, said. “Military law does not permit coercion.” The Army said demands of the eight cadets for courts-martial would not be considered because they are not officers and do not have the right of a military trial under the law. ; Col. Leer said formal hearings probably would be concluded in three weeks and the cadcts will]
be given an opportunity to resign! :
and receive a general discharge,| which is neither honorable nor! dishonorable.
Could Go to Truman | If they fail to resign, Maj. Gen. Frederick A. Irving, superintend-| ent of the academy, will present, the case to President Truman.| Gen, Irving already has recommended dismissal of the cadets on the findings of a full investi-| gation by a board of West Point officers. “There is very little chance that this thing can be dropped,” Col.| Leer said. In Washington last night, one West Point upperclassman said the entire cadet corps would re-
sign if those dismissed for cheat-|
ing were reinstated. “Those 90 fellows got what was coming to them,” he said. “The whole corps feels the action was justified, and we knew about the cheating. To a man we feel the same way, and the entire corps
of cadets would resign if those
men were taken back.” Enjoy Summer in Your Own Home
