The DePauw Tigers following their defeat last Saturday at the hands of the Centre College eleven, have two weeks ip which to get into shape for the annual Wabash Scrap, which is scheduled to be played in Indtanapoi. is on Saturday November 20. Going through the har,| game with Centre, the Tigers emerged a badly battered but game bunch. Many of the men have minor injurief. but it is believed that with two week- of light work afd good care the Tigers will be in good shape to take on the Grawfordsville aggregation in the ’a-t ar,.J big ganie of the season. Last year DePauw and Wannsh battled to a tie, when DePauw should easily have defeated the Crawfordsville boys. It was a caae of the better team not bcirg able to put the ■unch in at the right time and a case if too many men running the team. This year DePauw has the punch and it is believed that the generalship in this years contest will be
much better than last
Coach Buss will, after conditioning The men following the Centre game, give the team some careful coaching and will give them a number of new plays for the Wftbush game For, this year DePauw is determine^ to wipe out the sting of the tie game with
Wabash last season.
