Illini Coach Eliot Predicts Strong 1946 Grid Season
Corpus Christi, Tex. Ray Eliot says the 1946 college football season will be highly balanced with many strong teams due to war-trained veterans. He notes smaller schools gain squads of 50 to 60, larger schools double-sized, and expects many service men to start, predicting 80 percent service players on squads and 1947 as a peak year for football. He defends the T formation and recalls Illinois youth success amid wartime trials.
