Career
1944-45 Chicago American Gears (NBL)
Played two games for Chicago. Not much to go on. There was a Bill Ash who played football for Iowa in the 1930's. Athletic enough to possibly be our player, but not likely. His name might also be spelled "Ashe"

I can confirm the Iowan is not the guy. A March 28, 1948 newspapers.com article from The Des Moines Register said D. W. "Bill" Ash was 40 years old at the time, had been a city resident for 30 years, graduated from Drake Law School and was a field manager for a discount banking firm.
