nm-Qt - L. awfww 7 191 4- OHAMPJS. uLetts g0! F orty Old Gold Gridironists swarmed out on McKeen Field with the arrival of Coach Bogle and began the most hotly contested struggle for posi tions that has been seen at DePauw for years. There was a surplus of good material for every position and this fact made every man put all he had into the- game. XVith most of the 1913 champions in the line-up and a wealth of new material there was never any doubt about the football team. The question was just how high we should finish. The season opened, as usual, at Indiana where the Old Gold lost to the Crim- son on a penalty after outplaying them throughout the game. Then DeP:1uw got out of her class and lost to Michigan. Franklin was then disposed of in a good game about two weeks later. The trip to Lake Forest and a muddy field was too great a handicap and we lost there. Then Rose Poly and Earlham were taken over in rapid succession. When Butler came down on Old Gold Day Winning by a choice run of luck, the nominal championship was lost, but the team demonstrated its superiority over the dopedh champs time and again. This defeat put added determination into the team and Wabash was again beaten by a close score. The season'closed on Thanksgiving Day when Bogle,s gang lost to the fast Christian Brothers team at St. Louis. Wyith rumors of Capt. ttDago Thomas being in school again and with nearly all of the 19H varsity still in the fold, DcPauw should walk away with the blue ribbon honors 0f the 1915 gridiron season.
