EVANSTON, nl.-Bin DeCorre-
won't. a repentant fallen hero. dis
PEELED another campus resolution
today:
I'm going to do all my half
backing for Northwestern" he
said. Il have no grievances against
my coaches or teammates-only
against some of these stories COM
ing out about me"
The one-time schoolboy wonder.
who discovered newspaper clip
pings don't mean a thing 10 OPP
posing Big Ten football teams,
wants to be let alone to pursue
his studies and play left field on
Northwestern baseball team.
Although he's only a sopho-
more, DeCorrevont has become
TO Intercollegiate football what
Dizzy Dean il to baseball.
Thus, a minor campus storm
kicked up yesterday when Bill
admitted:
Sure, l considered quitting
Northwestern after the football
season. II was bad year and II
thought change would help. II
sent wire to a friend of mine on
the west coast asking few ques-
tons about Southern California.
Nothing came of it. Anyway I
changed my mind after a talk with
Lynn Waldorf (head COACH and
I'm staying.
REPORTS CONFIRMED
DeCorrevonts admission confirm
ed in part reports that all was
not well behind the scene during
Northwestern's unexpected foot
ball collapse last fall. The Wild
cats, crowned national champions
before they'd played game,
wound up with three victories in
eight contests.
Stories of dissension broke
halfway through the season
when a student columnist in
sisted DeCorrevont's teammat-
rs refused to block for him.
Bill denied 1t and later denied
report that he had demand
ed a change In the coaching
staff.
Maybe I've made some mis-
takes" he said. Maybe not. Since
Waldorf came back from Florida,
I've talked to him about next sea-
son. We've discussed new forma-
tions that may make difference.
Last season, l didn't seem to fit
into the plays we used"
One criticism of Northwestern
system, advanced by DeCorrevont's
high school coach, was that Bill
was forced to run from formations
too close to the line of scrimmage.
II used TO do better from a
short punt or punt formation or
on plays with plenty of deception"
DeCorrevont said. II guess we
didn't deceive many teams last
year.

DAVID QUINTET

CONTEST HERE

The House of David basketball
squad, regarded as one of the most
entertaining and colorful of all
travelling hoop teams, will meet the
City League All-Stars this Thurs
day night at s O'Clock in Lincoln

Bewhiskered, spe c tacular,
the Davids will feature Art

ter, who once starred at Cen
trail college in Iowa.
As has been customary this year,
no preliminary game will be play
ed. Doors will be open an hour
preceding game time.
Besides Stoelting, the Davids
roster includes Frank Lee. a for
mer hoop luminary in the us.
navy. who is feet four inches tall;
Don fHorsie) Peterson, who not
so long ago was an outstanding
members of University of Ken
lucky basketball teams; Melvin
krumm and Greg Diem.
Clink Jacobs has assembled
a formidable team from among
the players in the City league.
Jacobs has selected such we'll
known local stars as Jerry
Kent, Dick Pesse, Bill Lem
mon, Al Libke, ir., Al McCsy.
Roger Peters, HOWE CanOnics,
Lornie Merkle, Marvin Scott
and Wally Brebner.
The Dsvids, rated as one of the
really great hoop teams of the
nation, appeal even more to the
average fan because Of their show
manship. They handle a basket
ball as though it were baseball
and have developed numerous en-
tertaining tricks with the inflated
sphere.

Henry McLemOre Says:

George Woolf worked him on
an extra eighth in the astounding
time of 1885 LIS.
In case you do not read racing
form that is the fastest mile
ever run by horse in this coun-
try around two full turns. Equi-
poise's world record of 1:34 2-5
was out of a chute and Ekkie
had to negotiate but one bend.
Everone knows that Heelfly
can run a mile and a quarter,
the handicap distance, because
he has. So right now he is hot
ter than Mama's Biscuits in the
winter book play on the hun
dred grander. ! wouldn't be sur
prised If Al Vanderbilt has sent
out a chunk too as sort of
consolation money for the $780,
600 mistake he might have made.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-02-16

known it is safe to guess that
Heelfly already has won back
his purchase price.
JUSTIFIES OWNER
In fact, Heelfly's feat of whip
ping Seabiscuit, Sun Egret and
other crack stake horses in the
La Jolla handicap last week.
alone justifies his owners bar
gaining. Because in that race
Heelfly packed 119 pounds. or
five fewer than he will have to
tote in the handicap, and finish
ed the seven furlongs in 1:23
flat for the fastest time for the
distance in the United States
this year.
But even more remarkable
than his blazing speed for the
seven panels was his time In
finishing out the mile. Jockey

ARCADIA, Cal.-When Ben
jamin Franklin first flew his
kite into an electrical storm it
Is doubtful If he knew what he
was doing for a horse named
Heelfly. and to a man named
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt.
