Bouncing Back From Appendectomy,
Wildcat deCorevont Finds His Claws
Finally Lives Up.
.TOAdvanceNOtice
AS Triple Threat
BY JERRY BRONDFTELD
NEA Service STAFF Correspondent

NGA OSANACC GUAM NWkNCoRUAAMSAAs
Evanston, Oct. 22.-Somebody in
one Of his more SagacIous moments
at the start Of the current football
season predicted the publicity Bill
deCorrevont isn't getting this year
might do Northwestern more good
than a yardful of tackles and guards.
And no one ever needed guards
and tackles as desperately as Lynn
Waldorf was purported to require
them.
At any rate, the statement ap-
pears to have large measure of
truth because the Wildcats, with
share Of the breaks, might be voted
the surprise team Of 1910. Waldorf
may receive lot Of backing as
coach Of the year, and bland Bill
deCorrevont may be pointed out as
the back who came back. All the
way back, and then some.
At the start Of the 1899 season,
Northwestern appeared to have
enough material for three teams and
the national championship was
wrapped, packed and delivered to
Evanton before the first whistle had
blown. When the whistle did blow,
the Wildcats blew sky-high, dropped
four games and tied one.
MOST PUBLICIZED PREP
IN BIG TEN HISTORY
One Of the reasons why North
western was tabled so highly year
ago was Sophomore deCorrevont,
who had enrolled as the greatest
high school product since shine
guards and the flying wedge.
No boy in Big Ten history had
ever received so much pre-college
publicity as the Chicago youth.
DeCorrcvont wasn't bust as q
sophomore, but he failed to live up
to advance promises. That might
not have been Bills fault. North
western year ago was stacked with
seniors, and seniors have a way Of
letting down.
No one is suggesting any one
cause for deCorreyont's failure. It
might have been lack of Coop
| peration. It might have been Bills
failure to make the adjustment from
prep to college play. The avalanche
of publicity might have been too
big load to carry.
HAD APPENDIX OUT
LATE THIS SUMMER
Six weeks before school began
this year deCorrevont underwent an
appendectomy. There were those
who said he wouldn't play this fall.
! Ohio State still thinks he should
have stood in bed" because Blond
Bill, sarting for the first time this
season, quick-ki0lked and ran the
Buckeyes into startling 6-3 defeat.
Moreover, he did it with ALI
America brilliance, and behind line
that had only one semi-regular
from last years forward wall. The
rest of the wildcat line was made
up Of reserves and sophomores, and
the way they deployed was a conf
pltment to Burt Ingwersen,s ability.
DeCorrevont not only has terrific
speed, but is demonstrating an I'M
canny gnack Of making a tackler
cammit himself and then stepping
around him. He Is one of the best
punters and passers in the Western
Conference.
There hasn't been the slightest
suggestion that he isn't okay de-
fensively.
One good back has lifted teams
from mediocrity to great heights
before, and it can easily happen
to Northwestern.
