NOTE

Most of these names, as you can tell, are nicknames probably given to them by coaches and fellow players. I listed the names just how they are in the album, your guess on their real names are as good as mine unless I spend hours trying to match their football uniform picture to their class pictures.
The note under each person is as it is in the book except that I shortened the coaches listings a bit.
Each player has a picture next to him. For info on getting a scanned or photocopied copy of this or any page in the 1918 DePauw Mirage Yearbook contact me. Thank you for visiting!
