college affair, but also a society event.
for the elite Of Indianapolis society had
reserved box seats at Washington PARK,
TO watch the Tigers play the Colonels.
While bear" stories had been sent out
from Danviile that Red" Roberts and
RED" Weaver, all-American football
stars, would not be able to start the
game against DePauw, the fans were re-
garding the reports as stories to make
DePauw athletes believe Centre would
not be in shane. Two weeks have passed
. since Centres great game with Harvard,
and these men should have been back in
first class condition.
This means that two of the greatest
centers in the country were to clash to-
day. Weaver, chosen by Walter Camp
as the All-American center last year, and
Ted Ogden, captain of DePauw and All
Indiana center last year, whom critics be-
,lieve to be the best center in the West,
were to battle in the line.
There have been many All-American
football men seen on Indianapolis grid
irons in the past. but never has an All
American quarter back played In this
city. Today the football followers were

They knew that De PAW had far strong

De PAW tackles today.
Today there was the spirit OF sports

at the seasons record Of the Baptists
IL will be seen that an eleven apparently
equally as strong and just as deter
mined was to go into the game with the
exact intention of the Butler warriors
A great battle was expected to be the
result of a meeting of these two teams.
For the first time this season since the
initial game, Page had Il team of regu-

possible lineup at the Blue and White
mentors disposal was to start against
