QUARTERBACK WESTON
Football Field Prepared Him for
Wort aa Jin
Detroit, Jan. 30 ( By United Press)
"The things I learned on the foot
ball field are the ones that fitted me
for life. The fact that I went to col
lege for two reasons to soak up
knowledge and to learn football was
the greatest point in my preparatory
life."
That's the way Willie Heston. form
er quarterback at Michigan university,
and twice selected on the mythical
ill-American eleven, has the thin-;
sized up. Willie is a police court jus
tice now in Detroit, and he isn't
known as Willie any more. He's Po
lice Justice William M. Heston and
he put, it over.
One oi the ambitions of Judge Hes
ton s hfe was to rid himself of the
name "Willie." In school and after
wards hr did his best to shake it but
to no avail. Finally he got himself
elected judge and they HAD to quit
calling him Willie.
Heston declared that if every youth
were given the chance he had to learn
football to get the spirit of fair com
petition in sports drilled into his sys
tem there would be little need for
police courts.
'I know what it has taught me, he
said. "I believe it wonld do as much
for any other man. When I see poor,
iceak, spineless unfortunates come be
fore me for one crime or another the
wish that he could have seen service
under Yost or Keene Fitzpatrick hits
me right between the eyes. If he
could have had that training he would
n't be living the wrong kind of life.
"Probation and parole are two
things that have resulted from my
gridiron training. I know that when
ever we were beaten we always were
cheered by the thought that next year
we would have another chance 1
don't believe there's a man alive who,
if given the opportunity to put every
thing behind him. would not glory
in the thought of another chance.
That's what the parole is for, and I'm
a firm believer in it.
"Studying football in college, may
be the stihiect of a good many jokes,
but it builds strength of character and
