Eager for Office Job.

HIS Shy. modest youth won't say
even if he has made up his mind
but 1t is indicated he favors a uni
versity in his native Middlewest, per-
haps one in the Big Ten"
His big problem at the moment is a
Job. He wants to work until the time
to enter the university of his choice
next fall.
II am in no hurry" he says. There
Is plenty time in which to make up my
mind: After graduation I want to loaf
about three weeks and then settle
down to job"
No rugged outdoor work, such as
digging bitches or wheeling bricks
to get him into shape for football for
De Correvont. He wants an Office job,
as he puts it, so Il can meet the right
kind of people" He has only to ac-
cept l of Is already offered him.
An extraordinary character is this
young De Correvont, who overshadows,
in public interest, any individual all
American chosen last year He is
unassumingly modest over his gridiron
fame ). Yet didn't he attract 12O,-
900 spectators to high school charity
football game in Chicago? You
have to fire questions at him to get
answers, otherwise he stands looking
at you with searching blue eyes that
seem to look a hole right through YOU.
YOungster Not Concoited.
nOWN in his heart De Correvont
knows that the university lucky
enough to get him to enroll will be
able to pay off the mortgage on its
stadium in couple OF years That is
because of his magnetic football per-
sonality :. He is feet 111a inches
tall, broad-shouldered and trim waist
ed and still growing :. Like any boy,
he always is ready to eat. and loves it.
E. A. Ryan, personnel director at
Austin High, who has been a father
to De Correvont since the death of his
dad two years ago, is convinced that
De Correvont will go to a university
without any semblance of swell-head-
edness :. No school day passes with
out De Correvont visiting Ryan at his
office. . The school hottest after him
seems to be the University of South
ern California Warner Bros,
through its star, Pat O'Brien, has in
vlted him to make another trip to Los
Angeles next month, but he prob
ably will pass it up.
Ryan says that De Correvont will
be eager to go back to school after
he has been forced to hit the ball at
work this summer.
And think Ryan is right" De
Correvont smiled.

BILL SHY, MODEST
DESPITE HIS FAME.
Apt to Go to MidWesteri1
Varsity-Finishes High
School This Week.
By CHARLES DUNKLEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

Bill De Correvont at the age
~ of 10 next Friday.
On that day Americas most amaZ-
ing prep football star will be gradu-
ated from Austin High School, leaving
behind him the most sensational rec
ord ever achieved by a prep football
player, comparable only to the per-
formance of the late Walter Ecker
sail of University of Chicago fame.
In 10 games last season De Corre-
Won't established the remarkable rec
ord OF not failing to score a touch
down. In one game he scored nine.
His total for the season was IS. He
scored 2ll points, carried the ball
LAS yards from scrimmage and
amassed total yardage gain from
scrimmage, including passes. punt re-
turns and kick-offs, of 1872 yards.
After next Friday De Correvont
steps into new sphere Ahead of him
lie green pastures Of intercollegiate
football.
Will this 1.-THE, 18O-pound boy GAL
lop, as some predict, as fast or faster
than Harold (Red) Grange, famed as
the galloping ghost of Illinois?
No less than IS colleges and uni
versities think so. He has received
that many overtures, at least so in
writing, to enroll. He must make his
choice before June l.
Which will he choose?

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
Nv A. A. PATTON.

Associated Press Statistician.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Commodity
prices rallied in the opening week Of
1888, chalking up the biggest gains
since last September under the leader
ship of non-ferrous metals and farm
products.
A few industrial staples were lower.
however, and live stock slumped to the
lowest level since early in 1885.
The Associated Press weighted index
of IS important wholesale commodity
prices rose to 74.14 per cent of the
1925 average from 1885 last week, and
compared with 90.16 year ago.
The smart upturn in stock prices
during the week provided the cue for
some of the more speculative staples.
The sharpness of the rebound from
the previous weeks low point stemmed
largely from spurts in the latter group.
Wheat Takes Lead.
The grains. with wheat far out in
front, responded to reports competitive
foreign crops were faring poorly. Oats
and rye pushed ahead, while corn
dipped moderately. Cotton picked up
as the trade viewed nearby consump-
ton prospects favorably, although
reserving decision on the ultimate ef-
fects on prices of the largest crop ever
harvested.
Tin, lead and copper were marked
up fractionally with buying again ap-
pearing in the market The buyers
strike, evident since last summer, was
apparently set aside by pressure of de-
pleted inventories.
Steel scrap, buoyant in previous
weeks, fell back slightly as manufac-
turer demand spent itself. Rubber
ard burlap also weakened in the face
OF reduced inquiries. Bituminous coal
and turpentine, however, were up
slightly.
Food Prices Climb.
Food climbed as rush of buying
orders boosted bids for cocoa, coffee,
flour and lard. Eggs alone slipped
back. The current level. however, was
substantially under that prevailing
year ago.

ponents based on 1926 as 100, COM
