MAIN ST. DePauw Coach Gives Gridiron 'Secrets' to Foe Oberlin, Oct. 23--(fl 3 )--The S.P.C.F.S. (society for prevention of cruelty to football scouts) wa presented a serious matter today as coaches ot Oberlin and DePauw cooperated for their teams' Saturday clash here by supplying each other their basic formations. Oberlin, originally scheduled to meet Swarthmore this week, was left without a homecoming opponent when the Pennsylvania school cancelled its date Because one of its players was stricken by paralysis.

Tne contest with the Greencastle, school was arranged only after time for traditional scouting had passed. Coach Lysle Butler of Oberlin, whose team has lost to Rochester, Otterbein and Hamilton, remarked that "even with the elaborate scouting reports we have had on our first three opponents, we haven't been able to do anything so far this year. We might be better off with a report from the oppostion coach." Gaumy DePauWs mentor, sounded quite happy about it, too. Thinking of wins over Franklin, Carleton and Hanover and a loss to Butler, he said: "It's cheaper than scouting--and far more accurate. I only hope my boys know their formations well enough that they won't make any mistakes Saturday to cause Oberlin to think that we gave them misinformation."
