The Strength to Defy DePauwls football season this year was a struggle to regain lost morale. It showed that in the face of a crushing blow in the very First game of the year, we rallied ancl proved our ustrength to defy. The team lost its soul during the Northwestern game; badly outmanned, two of our best men were injured. lt was not until Navy second semester freshmen could Scrimmage against our First team that spirit started to simmer back into the fold. Then confi- dence was restored when we just missed beating Wabash, In the lllinois Wesleyan game, the team went out with spirit high, expecting to win and returned victorious. Players went out on the Field in the Ober- lin game to keep the score down and to have a good time. The climax of the season came during the Miami game. Spirit showed in the dressing room,- the players were hoping to win glory by de- Feating one of the last undefeated teams in the country. DePauw Fought and won, and with her now invincible will to win, had the season been only half over, she could have carried on to still greater triumphs. 17
