Called Greatest Prem Star.

THIS slim blond youth, weighing
172 pounds and S feet IL inches
tall, has played under three coaches.
Each declares without reserve that
he is the greatest prep star they've
ever seen.
The sign of enemy goal posts af-
fects him like four-eleven alarm on
an old fire horse. He gets to the
scene as quickly, as possible. He is
complete master of all the tricks of
a veteran ball carrier, is a past master
in feinting and lodging, kicks re-
markably and is deadly and ac-
curate passer. AS good as he is, De
Correvont is the first out for prac-
tice and the last to quit, always work.
ing for perfection.
De Correvont is not only a great
football star, but baseball nugget"
as well. He plays the outfield, and
last spring turned in the lowest bat
ting average of his career, a mere $50;
his highest was AGO. He has turned
down an offer from the Brooklyn
Dodgers which is reported to have in
cluded a college education.
