OF mud, Michigan Normars Hurons
assumed, for all practical purposes,
the role of spectators Saturday as
Wayne Uniyersitys football team
chalked UP a 1870 victory IN a one
sided naval battle at Keyworth
Stadium in Hamtramck.
Pre-game strategy called for a
lively forward passing attack. but
the poor condition OF the playing
field rendered such a plan of war
useless. The Hurons stuck 10 their
running game, and consequently
wound up with a net loss of rs
yards by rushing.
The game closed out Michigan
Normal's most dismal season in the
past 20 years. The Hurons failed
to snatch the victor's laurels in
seven starts this fall, absorbing a
drubbing on FIVE occasions and
playing to a scoreless tie on two
others.
For Wayne, however, the victory
was the second OF the season and
the sixth in Is clashes with the
Hurons. The Tartar eleven has
captured three out of its last four
games with Michigan Normal
The Tartars received a break
less than a minute after the open
ing kickoff when Center Tom Ken
nedy slashed through the Huron
line to block a quick kick by
Chuck Nemeth. The ball rolled out
of bounds on Normafs 30.
Wayne failed to advance any
farther than the 21-yard stripe, and
Michigan Normal took over the
ball. Nemeth tried a smash on
tackle, and then punted to little
Dick Hardenbergh,. Wayne quarter
back. on his own 81. Harden
bergh sprinted "a yards downfeld.
Two-plays later he got away
again, this time skirting left end
on a reverse from Nick Cherup to
the Normal %. A line plunge and
short pass carried the Tartars to
the 10, and then Cherup once more
tossed to Halfback Carl Macy for
FIVE yards.
Cherup moved on to the two
yard line on the following play
after handling a reverse from Jer-
ry Schneider. The latter picked up
low pass from center and slid
through right tackle the remaining
distance to score. Wayne refused
an offside penalty on the Hurons
that would have nullifed the touch
down.
Hardenbergh daThed back OF
Kicker Jerry Schelker to grab up
a wild pass from center on the at
tempt TO kick the extra point He
was stopped after pushing forward
a few steps.
The sure-footed Hardenbergh
set up Wayne's other touchdown in
the third period by running back
Nemeth punt from Normals 81
to the IL. After Schneider lost a
yard, Cherup gained seven around
left end and Schneider added an
other at guard.
Harenbergh took the ball from
Cherup on the same disconcerting
reverse which baffled the Hurons
most of the game and swung wide
around left end to the goal line.
Cherups kick fell short oil the goal
posts.
Michigan Normal threatened
vigorously in the second quarter
when a series of line piunges by
Carl Schram and a forward pass
from Nemeth to Howard Slabaugh
took the Hurons to the Wayne 81
yard line. The Tartars maintained
a tight defense on three plays, and
Nemeth's fourth-down aerial was
intercepted by Capt. Ed Larimore.
Ed Herrick, substitute center,
intercepted another Huron pass Oh
the last play of the first half and
galloped to the 12-yard marker.
Wayne neared Normal's goal late
in the third quarter and in the final
