The team played its home games at the newly constructed Ira B. Blackstock Memorial Stadium in Greencastle, Indiana. The stadium was built at a cost of $80,000.[1] The stadium was a gift from the widow of Ira B. Blackstock, a DePauw alumnus and university trustee who died in 1931.[2][3]
Four DePauw players were selected by The Indianapolis News to its All-Indiana college football teams: guard George Crane (1st team); back Arthur Lavidge (2nd team); tackle James Highland (3rd team); and back Mike Melinki (3rd team).[4]
