Using Wood's (1972) model we have analyzed Binnendijk's (1973) two-colour photoelectric observations - as yet unsolved - of the eclipsing binary DI Peg and the photoelectric lightcurves published by Rucin'ski (1967). Our photoelectric elements, though still in favour of a semidetached configuration considerably differ from Ruciński's previous solution. The F4 primary is accompanied by a fainter and smaller (probably late G) cooler star, which fills its Roche lobe for our photometric mass ratio q = 0.3. The absolute elements of DI Peg, tentatively estimated by assuming for the primary a mass of 1.4 Msun, reveal that the secondary appears to be clearly undermassive for its temperature, size and luminosity, like common mass-exchange cooler remnants of Algol-type binaries.
