McReynolds joined the White House staff. and also became secretary of the National Defense Council Then his daughter trans ferred to the National Defense Council with neat salary boost up to $3,800. One of Mrs. Holmead's friends is V. J. Mcknight, who worked in the Treasury at $2,900.

Two lightning thrusts, in which

receiving it from Fullback Norman

The Terps never threatened. Twice

SYRACUSE. N. Y. Oct. 5.-North-
Westerns footballers came East to
open their season today. and found
everything in readiness for them
except football team.
The girls were pretty. the sun
was bright, and the turf in SYRIA
cuse's Archibold Stadium was
springy and green The Syracuse
football team, however, also was
green and soggy, so that North
western had practically no trouble
at all in winning by 400.
Out in their own Big Ten Confer
ence, they don't rate the Wildcats
so highly 1t must have been a
shock. therefore, to the 10000 as
sembled rooters to see how easily
the lads from Evanston handled the
men in the orange and blue of
Syracuse.
For blond Bill De Correvont it was
a field day. The junior halfback
finally showed himself to have de-
veloped into full-fedged football
player.
Bill Does All Things Right.
When he had to run wide, he
started fast and kept going that
way When he had to hit the line,
he drove all the way, instead of
hesitantly waiting for an opening
as he did in his sophomore year.
When he had to punt. he spotted
his kicks precisely, and when he
passed he hit his receivers five
times out of five. the last two help
ing to set up his own second touch
down.
De Correvont scored twice and
thus shared touchdown and offen-
sive honors with his classmate. 215-
pound Don Clawson. Clawson spent
most of his time toting his weight
into the inept Syracuse line to good
effect. That's the way he took over
the first score. But on his second
he leaped between Syracuse passer
and receiver to pick an aerial out
of the blue and sprint AZ yards over
the goal.
De Correvont Late Starter.
De Correvont didn't start the
game, so Clawson, Ike Kepford and
Ollie Hahnenstein attended to the
opening touchdown They went IS
yards IN eight plays. Clawson went
over.
The second time a De Correvont
kick put Syracuse in the hole, bad
Orange punt kept them. there, and
Bill went over standing up on the
fourth play.
The third touchdown was So yards
in six, Paul Soper scoring. The
fourth was Clawson's long one; the
fifth a 72-yard march, De Correvont
again scoring standing up, and the
final tally came as both North
western ends came in to smother
an Orange punt and one of them,
Clarence Hasse, ran 80 yards for
the touchdown.
