Illinois State University defeated De Pauw 14-4 last Saturday.
In Davis at center and Heath and Wolferman as guards, the Y. M. C. A. will have a heavy trio.
Walter Cash, the strongest tackle ever at Princeton, so says Casper Whitney, is coaching D. A. C.

All right, wait until the 21st.

Will we have a magnificent second eleven this year?
Forecasts at the Missouri State University are very flattering for this year's 'Varsity. Of the old men, Young, Thompson, Anderson, Patiman and Hill have returned. Harrison and Hill, of Marmaduke, have entered college The former is sure of a position at half.
Denver's eastern trip resulted somewhat disastrously to her record for the coming season, C. A. C. defeating her at Chicago 6-o, and Northwestern University 8-o. In both games the team work of the D.A.C. was very strong, but they were unable to stand the heavy rushing of the opposing teams.
Barbour, Yale '91, and Donnelly, Princeton '90, are laboring hard with U. of M.'s 'Varsity. Quarter, guard, center and one tackle are the places to be filled. Their weakest point at present lies in their half backs.
Baker's prospects this year are fair. Haskin, Rice, Young and Crawford are not back; so she opens up the season with Pendleton, Toomey, Atherton, Farrar; Games, Potter and Taylor (captain), at their old places, thus leaving five places to be filled from fourteen or sixteen candidates. She meets Missouri at Kansas City on the 14th.
At the last meeting of the Athletic board R. K. Moody was reelected business manager of the foot ball teams. Williamson, '94; Matteson, '96, and Prof. Newson were appointed on the finance committee. It also was decided to elect a captain of track athletics, the intention of the board being to advance this branch of athletics as much as possible.
If possible a game with Marmaduke or the Y. M.C.A., of Kansas City, will be secured for the second eleven next Saturday. If neither of these games can be arranged they will meet with the High school eleven. They will line up about as follows: L.E., Kutz; L.T., Paul; L.G., Cowman; C., Simpson. R. G. Orr, or Prentice; R.T., Moody; R.E., Smith or Higgins; quarter, Laughlin; halfs, Wilson, Shaefer or Johnson; full back, Means or Higgins; substitute, Maxwell,
The Kansas City Sunday Times devotes two columns to the daily life of the foot ball player at K. U. The criticisms on tackling are, unfortunately true, but those on the play of the half backs are not very consistent. For, had Mr. McDonald visited us the day before, he would have seen center plays to his heart's content. However, end playing is almost as beneficial to team work as bucking the line, and in aiding interference and tackling is far superior. One fair end run is equivalent to four bucks.
Foot ball, as it is defined in the rules of the American Association, outside of the larger universities and colleges is a rara avis in the West. But realizing that the great superiority
