Eastern College Grid Faces Few Losses From Draft Effects
A survey of about 30 eastern schools finds limited impact from the 1941 draft on football rosters. Only a handful of players are lost to induction or deferments, with Princeton and others deferring ROTC students. Freshmen eligibility remains debated while Army and Navy may see changes in 1942 due to graduation plans and revised cadet limits.
