Drew Crowd Of 10000

He drew more than Ito, 900 people
into Soldier Field, Chicago, to sin
gle game. This was the largest
crowd that ever saw football
game anywhere in this country. 1t
was bigger than the one that
watched the Dempsey-Tunney fight
in 1927. 1t exceeded by a wide mar
gin the crowds at the Army and
Navy game or the all-star games.
He is a phantom-like runner, a
rifle passer, a star kicker, a re-
sourceful tackler and a sure-fre
pass receiver.
He is star student. When he
graduates in February, at the age
of nineteen, he will have a four
year average of SO in all his studies.
In addition to his football prowess,
Bill is quite a baseball player. He
can round the bases in 1876 seconds
and has had a batting average for
the past four years Of 400.
Thousands of high school athletes
throughout the country would prob
ably like to change places with Bill.
But if they knew what he's going
to be up against, maybe they'd
change their minds. Bill has tough
assignment. He will be a marked
man. Like Jim Thorpe, Walter Eek
ersall and Red Grange, he will
have to be whirlwind to make
good.
Knows How to Take 1t
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1937-12-30
Knows How to Take 1t

But Bill has demonstrated that he
knows how to take it, and so his
spot may not be so tough after all.
Every time he played last fall, they
expected more of him than the time
before. And on every occasion he
came through.
The biggest test was the game
that decided the championship of
Chicago. 1t was played in Soldier
Field between Austin, representing
the public high schools, and st. Leo,
representing the parochial schools.
Well, Austin won, 26 to 0. Bill
was the hero. He made three touch
downs, playing throughout with a
painfully bruised knee. He got
loose for long runs, threw passes,
received them, backed up plays,
tackled and blocked.
He was happy after that game,
all right. Only one thing bothered
him. His mother had to watch the
game from behind a pillar high in
the stands. She had been invited
to sit in a box as the guest of Mayor
Kelly. When she got to the stadium,
she approached the reserved gate.
'I'm Bill De Correvont's mother"
she announced diffidently, land I'm
to sit in the mayors box'' An
usher looked at her and was unim-
pressed. 81 don't care if you're
Shirley Temple or Queen Eliz-
abeth," he said. "Seats are all
gone"
Somehow she managed to get in
another gate and was swirled by the
crowd high up into the stands. Even
tually she was pushed behind a pill
lar. Only by craning her neck
could she see her son occasionally
as he galloped off to a long run.
The next test came with Jackson,
Tenn, played at Memphis, which
the coaches said, settled the nation
al championship. Against a strong
and rugged team he scored the win
ming touchdown.
j Now Bill is receiving feelers from
scores of colleges, chances to talk
on the radio, 60 to Hollywood and
what not. You can envy Bill De
Correvont or not as you please.
Remember he's on the spot but re-
member, also, that he knows how to
take it when the going is tough.

Golf Dream Comes True

When Johnny Revolta won the
Miami Open golf championship re-
Gently, and incidentally drew down
a check for $4,000, he satisfied a
six-year ambition. Back in 1882, Re
volta, unheralded in a field of the
nations best money players, fin
ished second.
He has won many tournament
since, including the 1895 P. G.. A.
championship, but none gave him
greater satisfaction than the 20-foot
putt he made on the seventy-second
green to give him first place and a
total score of 1882.
incidentally, Ralph GuIdahl, who
won the Biltmore Open last year
and went on to become National
Open champion, finished far down
the list at 292 and collected only
SIS. And Denny Shute, p. G. A.
champion, collected just $25 with a
296.

Bill, as you know, has been

most lads would be thrilled to

Description of Humming Bird

The earliest account of the hum
mingbird ever made in English, as
written in William Woods "New
England's Prospect" published in
1884, said: "The Hummingbird is
no bigger than hornet, yet hath
all the dimensions of a bird, as bill
and wings, with quilts, spiderlike
legges, small clawes; for colour she
is as glorious as the raine-bow: as
she flies she makes little hunming
noise like Humble-bee, wherefore
she is called the Humbird."

What Wax Is Made OF

Mineral wax or paraffin is made
from petroleum. Some wakes, such
as beeswax and spermaceti, are OBJ
tanned from the bee and the sperm
whale, respectively. In China there
are wax insects (which deposit
white wax on the ash tree. This is
gathered and refined for candles.
Carnauba wax is obtained from the
Brazil palm. Other vegetable wakes
include those obtained from the bay
berry, sugar cane and certain
species of sumac.

his legs and body are smooth and
ripping and as tidy looking as ev-
er. This continued brilliance is a
testimonial to his training methods.
Like most foreign fighters of re-
cent years, he stresses roadwork
and other outdoor conditioning more
than gymnasium work. Moreover,
he smartly conserves his energy
during a fight. By wasting few
punches, making every one count to
the utmost, he fights less in fiji
teen rounds than the average bat
tier does in six.

else agrees with his diagnosis, the
police will jug him as a common
nuisance and the Jail warden will
forcibly trim his whiskers for him
or anyhow have them searched. But
if enough folks, who've tried all the
old religions and are looking for
new one, decide he is the genuine
article, then pretty soon we have
multitude testifying to the omnipo-
tence of their idol.
Let another man think he is
reincarnation of Julius Caesar or

none feel the same way about it he's
headed for the insane asylum. But
if majority, which is large body
of persons entirely surrounded by
decisions, agrees with him that he

Maybe those mid-Victorian ladies
sort of overdid the thing-bustles
that made them look like half-sis-
ters to the dromedary, skirts so
tight they hobbled like refugees
from chain gang, corsets laced in
until breathing was almost lost
art, boned collars so high they
seemed to be peeping over an alley
fence. Still, wearing five or six
starched petticoats, the little won-

blessed simplicity ruled the styles,
her figure expressed the queenly
grace that comes from long, chaste
lines. Probably the dears never fig

ming of their sex told them twas
the flowing robes which gave majes-
ty and dignity to kings on the throne
and judges on the bench and prel-
ates at the altar-and shapely wom-
en-folk.
How old-fashioned those times
seem today when every dancing
floor is strip-tease exhibit and ev-

and debutante, posing for snap
shots, feels she's cheating her pub
lie unless she proves both knees still

Reading Dickens.

Reading Dickens.
I'VE been reading Dickens again.
1 This means again and again. I
take "Pickwick Papers" once
year just as some folks take hay
fever. Only I enjoy my attack.
Dickens may have done carica-
lures, but he had human models to
60 by. He drew grotesques, but
his grotesques had less highly-col-
ored duplicates in real life. And
readers recognized them and treas
ured them as symbols of authentic
types. The list is almost endless
Sam Weller, Sairy Camp, Daniel
Quilp, Uriah Heep, Mrs. Nickelby,
Mr.. Micawber, Mr.. Pecksniff-oh, a
dozen more.
What writer since Dickens has
been able to perpetuate one-tenth so
many characters? There is Tark-
ington with his Penrod and his Alice
Adams; there was Mark Twain with
his Huck Finn and Colonel Mulberry
Sellers. There lately has been Sin
clair Lewis with two picturesque
creations, to wit: Babbitt-and Sin
clair Lewis.
