Q' f .,w1fm.1 s lki' i f, H In 2 'g 5- 9 Q Q 'ff WZLCC' .-- 3 E Crier CL'R'rIs Curtis was another freshman who needed only an opportunity in order to show his ability. His speed and lightning-like dodging made him an ex- ceptionally hard man to tackle and once he hit the open field he was gone. Bon titesox Bob stepped into fast company last fall and acquitted himself like a yet- eran. Another member of our freshman backtield, he is exceedingly fast and his dodging ability is remarkable. l-le brought the stands to their feet again and again by his quick dashes through the line for consistent gains. CAPT.-XIX-IZQLECT Scoi'n13 t1t'n.n There is satisfaction in the knowledge that Scouge will captain the Deljauw team next year. Always cool under the heaviest tire. he will instill confidence into the team which will carry them on to greater victories. He was a tower of strength on this year's eleven and an opposing' team soon learned that toward left tackle was no place to send a play. PUNK jtmnax This was .lulien's second season on the squad and he played the game with the same consistency that characterized him last year. lYhile not playing a spectacular position, Punk could always be relied upon to smother any plays that came through his guard and open up the hole for our lwacktield. Liz Ri'i:'rox Liz made all opposing' full-backs seem insignificant. He was the main- stay in our wonderful freshman backtield. XYhile new to college football he showed a thorough knowledge of the ganie and his line plunging' spelled -lc- struction for the opposing team. f ' 'iff s .1 25 l I n r i l I . 4 K I 5 l4

,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

'Z' 0114 -1 NNT X , f ,, f. ll' fly I Q 'fi ni' .-gl 'MFT ' wav HSTENVV XURRIS l Stew was the freshman quarter that so puzzled the opposing teams. An able field general, he was in addition a versatile player. He could pass, punt or run with the ball as occasion demanded. HSKINNYU MILLER Skinny was a hard lighting end. I-lis rise was phenomenal. At the beginning of the season he was only one of many candidates but by the middle of the year he was one of the three best ends on the squad. NIKE XYINELAND Ike's light and confidence that no team had won until the last quarter ended, brough him from the reserves of last year to the varsity. The pivot man was one of the most dependable in the line in his defensive work, and on the offensive his passes were fast and accurate. JAKE jscons After the first few nights' practice it was evident that Jake was too good for the scrubs, so he was shifted to the varsity line as right guard. There can be no regrets for that change. .-Xt breaking up line plays his work was spectacular and time after time when the heap was torn apart you would fund jake at the bottom having repeated one of his deadly tackles. Bt'nDY QQNEILI, Buddy made his debut into varsity football Circles when he so ably alternated with Norris at the quarterback position. He was exceptionally cool-headed and had an almost unbelievable knack for pulling the unexpected on the opponents. R's were awarded to Barrett, Moffett Hawkins, Smith and Life for their work on the football squad all year. They should make a mighty good foundation for next year's team. Q 3 .a 26
