LU.FULLBACK | IS OUTSTANDING Corby Davis Rated Best Fullback In Big Ten Conference Chicago, Nov. 16. (U.R>—Waiter,! bring two steaks for Corby Davis,! Indiana fullback who lias two' claims to fame. 1) He's the Big Ten's outstanding fullback. 2) He's the Big Ten's largest I eater. j But if it was up to Davis you’d never hear about either of these attributes. He never talks about himself or much of anything else for that matter. He's too busy playing football, eating or studying. When the Indiana squad passed through Chicago last Friday en route to lowa City to play lowa the players lined up for a photograph with Davis standing on the sidelines. He didn't even care| about having his picture taken. But Saturday afternoon in lowa City Davis was very much in the picture. Without Davis Indiana I very well might have been upset by the Hawkeyes. Here's what he 1 did: , Made 4 of Indiana's 5 first downs. Gained 51 yards in 18 timesAveraged 36 yards on 11 punts, including one of 65 yards and another of 71. Knocked down three of lowa's , passes, one of which saved a touchi down. i Played 60 minutes. After the game Davis, who ' j weighs 203 pounds and is 5 feet, i | 11 inches in height, tucked a nap- l ' kin under his chin and ate two meals including a steak with each. , ' Davis' mates continually rib him , (about his capacity for food but he ( doesn't mind. He just keeps on | ' eating and grinning. On the field Davis is the key I man in Indiana's five-man backfield. I He is a smashing blocker, a crashing line plunger, a fine kicker and a fair passer. He is quick at i diagnosing plays, and the Hoosiers | best defensiv<e back. Coach Bo ; McMillin rates him one of the ■ greatest defenders against passes ! he has ever seen. Davis will play his final colleg--1 iate game against Purdue SaturI day. and the Boilermakers, who haven't beat Indiana during Me-' : Millin s regime, will have to stop I Corby to entertain thoughts and any kind of hopes for victory. In three seasons —1934. 1935 and 1937 —Davis hasn't played a poor game. Most of the time he's been a star. He didn't play during 1936 because, of an infected-arm. He has very i delicate skin and must continually | take precautions to guard against I boils. Corby is very bashful around girls and seldom has a date. He spends his idle moments attending movies and listening to the radio. He takes football very seriously and hopes to coach when he graduates this spring. “I think Davis is the greatest fullback in the country this year.” i says Coach McMillin. “Os course. I haven't seen them all but I know he's tops in the Big Ten and I wouldn’t trade him for any other 1 fullback. He makes hard plays look easy, and is always where the action is hottest. And when the going gets tough he gets better.” * LOST IN WOODS Decatur’s latest hunting story k was told today on two employes of the city plant. Ken- | neth Lough and “Red” Shaw j went coon-hunting Monday j night. Separated in a woods northeast of Decatur, Lough j | became alarmed when he could | not locate his partner. Izmgh j scoured the woods all night long and after reporting to the | plant this morning, returned to | the woods to resume the I search accompanied by Sher- | iff Dallas Brown. Meanwhile, | plant officials had hired anoth- | er man to take Shaw's place. | | When this man reported, he [ found Shaw had been working since 7 a. m. Questioned, | Shaw said he tired of tramp- j ing the woods, thumbed a ride | to Monroeville and then re- | turned to Decatur. Thus ends j another hunting story.
