Now he's through and his collegiate career obviously didn't satisfy young William. lie Indicate that Waldorf's tactics weren't flexible enough to bring out his talents to best advantage.

JP Jeff personal clippings. Football seldom has known a more publicized player.

By way of a farewell to the game that put him in a glamour role, De Correvont signs off with "many regrets." In his disappointment over failure to reach the ultimate in grid renown he cites the scholastic and social benefits he gained at Northwestern as compensating factors against his football regrets. The place to get the real rating of a football player Is from his opponents and Bill always held the respect of the boys across the scrimmage line. But football has its own philosophy, a part of which is that the jolts and the disappointments are a part of the game and that you've got to be able to "take if without a whimper. Whatever his personal disappointment at Northwestern, his public blast in the direction of his coach impresses us as in bad taste. If he had been the player people thought he was he would have made himself "flexible" enough to fit any system.

Crawford of Des Moines takes up the cause of Jim Walker, Iowa tackle. Crawford writes: "I saw the Minnesota-Iowa game and was really amazed at Walker. He seemed to be about the only Iowa player that failed to be injured. At least he didn't show it during the game because he played the entire game, was in on about every play and was always back in his position waiting for more punishment.
