1 Texas schoolboy football team may have to forfeit its first three victories of the season because of an ineligible player, school officials said today. Officials said it was discovered during a routine check of records that Richard Harris, the teams starting fullback is too old for schoolboy football. Harris, a 6-foot, 215-pound second team all-state defensive noseguard last year, was born in 1956 and turned 19 before September. This year under schoolboy rules, players are ineligible if their 19th birthday falls before September. Bryan coach Merrill Green was quoted as saying he didn't know if the team's three victories this year would have to be forfeited.

It will depend, officials said, upon whether the losing teams press for forfeiture.
