He hasn’t reached his peak, mentally and physically. Willie will probably play some football next year. Coach Lon Watford, the sound, old maestro who has contributed much to Indianapolis high schbol football, can contribute something to Willie. Coach Watford may use Willie as an offensive end in football. In fact, the trend toward foothall-playing basketball players is coming at Attucks. Foothall Coach Watford and Backetball Coach Ray Crowe want it. Thats’ plausible. They won't forget the rugged play of Evansville Reitz’ football-play-ing ' basketballers 13 months ago.
