When the curtain was rung down on the day’s play the Windy City eleven was on the top end by a count of 31 to 6. Despite the unevenness of the score, the game developed itself into a pretty battle and not once did the locals let up in their endeavor to resist the attack of last year’s United States prep champions. Coach Paupau’s men were forced to extend themselves throughout the four acts and admitted after the pastime that they were surprised at the power of the Red and Purple. Coach Paupau has been at the helm of DePaul for a great many years and during this time has given the school some wonderful football teams. The team of this year shows a surprisingly varied attack and their open field work was brilliant, a result of the former Illinois halfback’s clever cocahing. Wellman and Hunt did great work for St. Joseph and were mainly responsible in holding down the DePaul score. Every member pf the Red and Purple team is playing good football ani Coach Parker is molding together a team that is bound to give the school a high rating in football circles.
