SPORTS PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

binary Christmas day-the turkey
dinner. So afraid are they that
they will not be able to give until
it hurts that many of them will
come no closer to a festive board
than is afforded by a hamburger
salon with a swirling aroma of
fried onins and sunny-side ups.
Los Angeles also treats New
Years day a bit differently. Again
with the crack of dawn, just when
members of other communities are
about to break newly-made resolu-
lions, your Los Angelesite lights
out for Pasadena and a football
game.
1t is going to be very difficult
for me TO observe our top ranking
holidays in such a fashion. Christ
mas to me has always meant these
sort of things:
Cooking an ear around the pill
low to listen for the sound of Don
ner and Bitten on the roof. The
pell-mell rush down the stairs to
get first crack at the egg-nog.
The running to the kitchen for a
pan of water to douse on che
Christmas tree fire. The horrible
false smiles when presented with
presents that even the Indians
wouldn't take. Drumsticks. Gravy
thick with flotam and jetsam of
giblets. Hoping that someone else
would volunteer to pick up all the
tissue paper and string off the
living room floor.
And New Years has always been
spent going around telling every
one how awful you feel, and secret
ly hoping that they feel just as
lousey.
All this will be very different,
but on one point am not going
to yield. Lam going TO hang up my
stocking over the fireplace - in
hope that jolly old st. Nicholas
will leave me o hot tip on some
thing in the third at Santa Anita.

If it's true that the real feeling of
Christmas is bound up in the pro-
verb that it is more blessed to give
than to receive, then the city of

munities Gncluding Chest in the

On Christmas the entire phone

planned to spend Xmas, did not
reply:
How am I going to spend it?

In Los Angeles it isn't Santa
Claus but Santa Anita.
With the crack of dawn on
Christmas day. when the citizens of

Juniors drums so that Junior

Footballs spotlight has turned to
a prep school player Bill De Core
vont-who scored 211 points for
Chicago's Austin high school and
thereby became the most sought
after college material in the coun-
try.
George Kirkey, United Press cor
respondent, will tell in a series of
articles what kind of a lad Bill is,
how he takes his success and how
he earned his fame.
His name-Bill De Correvant-
sounds like football players.
His feats on the high school grid
iron are almost unbelievable-he
scored 2l1 points last season. Every
college coach from coast to coast
would welcome him with open arms.
He is idoliZed. haraSsed, imposed
on. cheered and sought after.
Daily letters arrive the phone
rings, individuals call in person
It's a radio offer, a motion picture
proposal, an advertising tie-up.
They all are seeking the use of the
name DE Correvant."
From now on there will be no
peace for Bill De Correvant the
most publicized high school athlete
in the history of American foot
ball.
AS Elmer Layden of Notre Dame
puts it, "De Correvont will never
be a sophomore. The public and
newspapers will not let him. They
will be following every move he
makes from now on. His college
coach will never have a chance to
shove him into the background"
Yet Bill is a normal American
boy, different from all the rest only
in that he has a touch of athletic
genius He would prefer to go his
way quietly and without benefit of
ballyhoo but he realizes now that
isn't possible
No one appreciates his position
more than Bill and he is prepared
to play the cards as they fall He
isn't suffering from delusionS about
what's ahead of him.
ut doesn't make a lot of differ
ence to me what the newspapers
say" he said "All I ask is a $3.50
