V By RON GEMMELL Tha laugh's on 'Cat Catch "Spec Keene, but no one will nicker louder with you than he. It's al I about this youngster Johnny Kolb, whom "Spec" brought out from St. Benedict's Prep in New Jersey the little Catholic preparatorr school that has in late years acquired quite a habit of sending men. to Wil lamette who are seeking more "eddieation." The reason why they traipse clear across the con tinent, to enroll at Willamette Is common knowledge, for not many schools boast as high scholastic standing as does the little Meth odist school we midst. hare in our Diamond Sparkler. Bat the story. D'd you know tluit Kolb Is considers d onie squash, bark around St. IVme lirts. when It come to cavort ing on the diamond and han dling the old horsehide agate? It seems he had -amas.setl no little rep in New Jersey base ball haunts. Mr. Kwne knew It. even if you an J mr d'dn't. So Mr. Kerne says to yonnj Johns "Why not come to Wil lamette, where we have a great big , scholastic stand ng, and play baseball for os you can't go wrong." Xqt many can re sist Keene's perniiasve arpn ments, and Johnny was no ex ception. He bit the local am pus just In tim to gaze down onSweetland field from Keene's office tnil see a bunch of bruisers cruising around in moleskins. - O Delivered on Grid. Not supposed to have much shucks at gamboling with the pighide, KoU nevertheless tuck ed his 180 pounds of far eastern frame Into grid paraphernalia and went to work. The .nanner in which he handled a wine berth throughout the Bearcat schedule left a Iemonishly wry taste on ."Spec's"-grid palate. Yeah. Just li!:j sugar plums would. The 19 year-old youngster ended the '31 grid season by scoring three touchdowns at Reno to .ably as sist In the 41-7 massacre of the Divorcees. He strung his .ix-foot frame over a fumble behind the goal for one, and. snared two aer ial slants on the dead run for the other two. A Hooper, too. The Reno dust had rarely settled before. Coach Maple barked a demand for hoop as pirants to come forth and show their ware. Well, there hap pened to be an extra old rag ged sweat suit tossed in the corner of the 'Cats dressing room, so Kolb eased into it nnd stalked onto the hard hoards along with tiie rest. The first night or two of practice 'Manes' mentally marked . down . those w rist-flings of Kolb'. that were miraenlonsly accurate, as "accidents. About a week f tnem, nowever, ana tlie'roly-poly court tutor bepan" mumbling to himself, I be lieve I've got something there.

Feb. 2-jP)-Bill De Correvont. touchdown hero of America's prep gridiron, will en- ter Northwestern university next fall. There, along with four of ' his high school teammates, he plans to continue his amazing football career. The 19-year-old blond bullet, whose ball-carrying ability drew 120.000 spectators to Soldier field to watch him lead Austin high school to the Chicago champion ship last fall, made this announce ment today.- De Correvont's an swer to the constant questioning about his future was given in a brief, boyish statement. It read: "I'm going to Northwestern next September. The newspapers and everybody in Chicago have been very nice to me. My folks have always lived here and I wanted to go to school near home. I was lucky to play on a very good high school team and scie of the other boys are going to Northwestern.-. I want to be with them. L know I can get a good education at Northwestern and I have always wanted to play in the Big Ten." Alumni Tickled These few words Bent alumni of Northwestern almost dancing with joy and dashed the hopes of other institutions which had sought him.
