OF the United States, has two men In its

center. chosen last year by Walter Camp
on his All American team.
1t must be said that De Paw is sttong
this year at the places where tho Tigers
were weak last season, One Of these
places is in the kicking department.
Three men drove the ball hfty-hye and
sixty yards on punts time and again
yesterday. These men are NanDerbaFk (,
Adams and Norris. The Methodist
eleven has IN VanDerberk man who can
drop kick in real style.
Coach Buss has built his team care
fully this year. having Ted Ogden, cap
tain and all-State center, in the middle
OF the line. Around this powerful, ag'
gressiye player, Buss has formed his Hne.
Claypool is playing subcenter. but may
be used as hrst string guard In og-
den Buss has man who Will rank with
the best center men In she Central West
Not as tall rs many centers, stil Ogden
IS So fast, so aggressive, that he could
be used as an end or back field man.
Ogden however, isla perfect paEser, and
Is a man with football brains. He thinks,
and thinks fast, and for that reason de-
serves mention among the best players
Of the country.
Jacobs, a big. powerful fast charging
man, probably will flank Ogden or his
right. while the other guard position Is
being fought for By a half dozen athletes
any of whom may be used. Bryan, q
back field man, was tried at guard for a
few minutes during the scrimmage. Men
denhall, a fast man, was worked at both
guard and end. Heager OF last year
De PAW varsity, and Kepner, another
of last years Tiger eleven, all are being
tried at guard. Fisher is another guard
possibility. Wineland, who Played guard
at De PAW last year, is attending the
Eush Medical College this season.
The loss Of Moffitt giant tackle on
last years De PAW eleven. hurts, for
that man would be big help on Coach
Buss' 1920 combination, but Mohitt Is
teaching school and will not attend col
lege until next year. However, Ed van
Dervoort, 200<pound freshman, who was
the star tackle at the Lansing (Mich.)
High School last year, is at DePauw.
VanDervoort Is fast and knows foot
ball. having been weu-coached In high
school. He was named on the all-State
high school team Of Michigan by all
critics last year. He is the younger
brother of Del vanDervoort, the all
Western tackle who played with the
Michigan Aggies about six years ego.
Wachstetter, a new ltneTf1an, Is being
worked at the other Tickle. Morgan,
at the tackle position. Hirt and Kepnef
are other possibilities at tackle.
Thanking this powerful, well-balanced
line, DePauw has strength this season
where IT was weak last year. for De Paw
has good end men. Harold Adams, a
freshman is one of the best end men
seen ut De PAW since the days of Tuck

the Methodist team. Red" Adams can
