Chicago, Dec. 22.-(UP)-From almost the first day Bill De Corre- won't appeared on the Austin high football practice field four years ago he has been marked man. In his first scrimmage with the freshmen against the varsity he scored four touchdowns.
 In his first game he clicked of a l5-yard touchdown dash and for four years scored in every game ex- cept one. In that game in his fresh- man year he was carried of the field after three minutes of play with splintered hipbone.
 As a sophomore he scored 62 points, as a junior 66 and as @ senior 2l0 points in 10 games, an all-time Chicago prep school rec ord. Until De Correvont came along the record was l05.
 In his 10 games this year he reeled off 1872 yards from scrimmage and on punt returns. From scrinmage he gained 1,066 yards which tops the National Professional league record of 1,004 yards made by Beattie Feathers, Chicago Bears. And in only one game did he play through out.
 Wotta Crowd
 His reputation as another Red Grange" spread until November 27 when 10000 persons, largest crowd ever to see a football game in this country, packed Soldier Field to capacity to see the championship game between Austin, public school champion and Leo, Catholic school titleholder.
 Almost every person in the crowd had only one thought in mind: "Is this heralded high school boy as good as he's cracked up to be?" De Correvont's performance left no doubt as to his prowess. He blazed away for three touchdowns, and rifed a pass for fourth as he led his team to a 26-0 triumph.
 More than half of De Correvont's touchdowns have been made on long runs. His longest dash was e9 yards against Farragut this year but 1t was called back because officials ruled he had stepped out of bounds. In this same game he was in the open racing for a touchdown when a Farragut substitute leaped off the bench and downed him.
 Bill Holland, De Correvont's coach, halls from Indianapolis Normal and has produced two championship teams in two years at Austin. He attributes De Correvont's success as @ ball-carrier to: CD His speed; CD His deceptive change of pace: (3) His knack of "photographing" the defensive setup at a glance: (4) His ability to run either to his left or right.
 Some have criticized De Correvont by saying: "He can't block" Holland answers that by saying: Asking De Correvont to block would be like hitching War Admiral to a wagon load of hay. But if De Correvont were asked to block he'd be a star at that too"
