In the days before the game, an Indiana newspaper wrote:
"Coach Bogle of DePauw, learned the gridiron game from Hurry Up Yost. Bogle will have a chance to show how much of the game he knows when his team is pitted against the eleven of his former mentor at Ann Arbor Wednesday. Bogle was a lineman at the Wolverine institution."[10]
DePauw lost to Michigan by a score of 58 to 0.[11]
