The 1918 football season for DePauw was one of the most successful in the history of the school. Starting' the year with but a few old men hack. and the fall clouded by the Hu ban which put many men on the sick list. Coaches Buss and Bucheit gathered the material they had in hand and whipped up a team which gave everything' in the state a mighty hard race. There were none of last year's backheld men who returned to school and the entire hacks had to be built up of the lirst year men. ln this the coaches were very for- tunate in finding an exceedingly liyely lot among' the freshmen class. liy the time the season was over we had the speediest and hardst hitting hacktield in Indiana. In every game this inexperienced lot ran rings aroung the opposing' teams. XYith the return of this group next year it looks as if there will he nothing' in the XYest that can stop them. Our line was composed of a hunch of hard working. fighting men who made their opponents know that they were coming' up against something when they met them. Only two men will be lost from this aggregation and with the return of some stars from service and the entry of some promising freshmen. llel'auw must he counted in among' the contenders for XYestern honors next year.

,Qi HIL .1 Q 5 ' fig! I Q? ff ici' -T.-.gb EDBERT C. Bess In the capacity of Director of Athletics and head of the Physical Educa- tion Department, Coach Buss has made possible more winning teams than it has been DePauw's privilege to boast in any single year of our recollection. NEWT CARLISLE Newt was a suitable running mate for Captain Guild and this pair of ends was 110t paralleled in the state. Rarely did an end run get past Newt and in forward passing his catches were miracles. His speed and strength fitted him also for the backheld when he was shifted in emergencies. CAFTA! N BLK GUILD Bun was a new sort of captain for this year's eleven. He was not the leader of his men through any slave driving tactics, but rather by setting an example for them of clean, hard lighting. Bun played right end through- out the year and was recognized as one of the best in the state. Bio Sx11rH Smittie was known and feared all over the state. This was evidenced by the fact that opposing backheld men always considered our right tackle the hrst and chief of the barriers when a play was directed toward him. This year completes Smitty's service for the Old Gold, having played two years on the varsity. FRANcIs M. STEPHENSON Stevie made a record this year as Student Athletic Manager. He filled the bill exactly and through his never ceasing efforts the managing end of athletics were kept up in great shape. This is one of the important duties of college sports and Steve more than earned the letter he received. 24
