Penn Captain Felled By Scholastic Flub

Pennsylvania's football captain, lineman Bob Evans, was declared ineligible yesterday by administration officials because of low grades.

Evans is the first Negro football captain in the history of the university.

A university spokesman said Evans was put on general probation by a university committee on eligibility. A similar ruling is applied to any Penn student who falls behind in scholastic work, he declared.

It is not known whether Evans, a senior, will be able to play again for Penn, which has games with Georgia, Army, and Cornell remaining.
